We are chosen by God (John 15:16) but that choice is also a matter of our own decision. Let us respond to God's call and serve Him, openly and lovingly. Let us bring our bodies in subjection unto the mastery of whatever our hands findeth to do; to do them for the glory of God.
God is good.

What is the difference between the resurrection of Christ and His ascension? What would have happened if Christ had not risen from the grave? What would have happened if Christ had not ascended into heaven? Why do you think most Christians, and the Church at large, place little emphasis on the ascension of Jesus Christ? How does the ascension of Christ practically affect your Christian faith, your obedience to Him, your love for the brethren, and your hope in the future?
Exodus 3:7-10 God said go, Moses said no. Moses excuses for why he could not do what God was telling him to do in leading the Israelites out of Egypt was in essence saying no to God.
Amos 4:2-13 prepare to meet your God, O Israel. It is very important to prepare to meet God. Some will think they are prepare and are not. How do we prepare to meet our God?
Comparison of Gospel Accounts of the Second Coming of Christ (LDS)Mike Fitzgerald
This document compares the accounts of the Second Coming of Christ given in Matthew 24, Mark 13, Luke 21, and Joseph Smith–Matthew 1. From the account in Joseph Smith–Matthew, it is evident that some events leading up to the destruction of Jerusalem in 70 A.D. will be repeated in the latter days.

What is the Christian's mandate and responsibility in the world? Why are we dilatus in spite of the obvious needs and urgent cries of the world? Why are we Christians blatantly disobedient in spite of our Lord's command? Moses' five objections to obeying God's call provides some clues.
What has been God's desire from the moment He created us? Did you know that desire has not changed? The coming of Christ to this earth has been a matter of much study yet many fail to grasp the reason for Christ's coming. Christ did not come that we could merely be forgiven; Christ came so we could be restored. God created us for His glory and through the plan of redemption He intends to carry out the original plan.
We are starting a new series on the different characteristics of God. We start with what it means for God to be eternal as we dive into the calling of Moses.
Be still and know that I am God. Psalm 46:10. Sometimes we need to slow down to gain knowledge of who God is. We must free ourselves from distraction. Only then can we have the quality existence God wants us to have.

The Book of Joshua is the sixth book in the Hebrew Bible and the Old Testament, and is the first book of the Deuteronomistic history, the story of Israel from the conquest of Canaan to the Babylonian exile.
In Jude 17-23 Jude shifts from piling up examples of false teachers from the Old Testament to a series of practical exhortations that flow from apostolic instruction. He preserves for us what may well have been part of the apostolic catechism for the first generation of Christ-followers. In these instructions Jude exhorts the believer to deal with 3 different groups of people: scoffers who are "devoid of the Spirit", believers who have come under the influence of scoffers and believers who are so entrenched in false teaching that they need rescue and pose some real spiritual risk for the rescuer. In all of this Jude emphasizes Jesus' call to rescue straying sheep, leaving the 99 safely behind and pursuing the 1.

Homily: The Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity Sunday 2024.docxJames Knipper
Countless volumes have been written trying to explain the mystery of three persons in one true God, leaving us to resort to metaphors such as the three-leaf clover to try to comprehend the Divinity. Many of us grew up with the quintessential pyramidal Trinity structure of God at the top and Son and Spirit in opposite corners. But what if we looked at this ‘mystery’ from a different perspective? What if we shifted our language of God as a being towards the concept of God as love? What if we focused more on the relationship within the Trinity versus the persons of the Trinity? What if stopped looking at God as a noun…and instead considered God as a verb? Check it out…

Evangelization in the footsteps of Saint Vincent de Paul
Trained servant - Chosen to be Trained
1. Exodus 3:1-12
1 Now Moses kept the flock of Jethro his father in
law, the priest of Midian: and he led the flock to
the backside of the desert, and came to the
mountain of God, even to Horeb.
2 And the angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a
flame of fire out of the midst of a bush: and he
looked, and, behold, the bush burned with fire,
and the bush was not consumed.
3 And Moses said, I will now turn aside, and see this
great sight, why the bush is not burnt.
2. 4 And when the Lord saw that he turned aside to
see, God called unto him out of the midst of the
bush, and said, Moses, Moses. And he said, Here
am I.
5 And he said, Draw not nigh hither: put off thy
shoes from off thy feet, for the place whereon thou
standest is holy ground.
6 Moreover he said, I am the God of thy father, the
God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of
Jacob. And Moses hid his face; for he was afraid to
look upon God.
7 And the Lord said, I have surely seen the affliction
of my people which are in Egypt, and have heard
their cry by reason of their taskmasters; for I know
their sorrows;
3. 8 And I am come down to deliver them out of the
hand of the Egyptians, and to bring them up out
of that land unto a good land and a large, unto a
land flowing with milk and honey; unto the place
of the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the
Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and
the Jebusites.
9 Now therefore, behold, the cry of the children of
Israel is come unto me: and I have also seen the
oppression wherewith the Egyptians oppress
them.
10 Come now therefore, and I will send thee unto
Pharaoh, that thou mayest bring forth my people
the children of Israel out of Egypt.
4. 11 And Moses said unto God, Who am I, that I
should go unto Pharaoh, and that I should bring
forth the children of Israel out of Egypt?
12 And he said, Certainly I will be with thee; and this
shall be a token unto thee, that I have sent thee:
When thou hast brought forth the people out of
Egypt, ye shall serve God upon this mountain.
6. To be Chosen is a Choice
Moses looked (v.2)
Moses did not turn aside (v.3,4)
Moses heard the voice of God (v.4)
Moses revered God (v.6)
Moses responded to God’s call (v.4)
7. Recognize the Call
God declares His Holiness
God declares His Name
God declares His Authority
God declares His Love and Mercy
God declares His Promise and Power
8. Exodus 4:1-2
1 And Moses answered and said, But, behold, they
will not believe me, nor hearken unto my voice:
for they will say, The Lord hath not appeared unto
thee.
2 And the Lord said unto him, WHAT IS THAT IN
THINE HAND?
9. Chosen to be Trained
God gives the skills and talents
God trains (Exodus 4:3-9)
To use the talents (Eccl. 9:10; 1 Cor. 10:31; Eph. 2:10)
To be His instrument of goodness (Matt. 5:16)
To declare His power and majesty
Psalms 71:17 O God, thou hast taught me from
my youth: and hitherto have I declared thy
wondrous works.
10. Training the Body and Spirit
Mark 14:38
Watch ye and pray, lest ye enter into temptation.
THE SPIRIT TRULY IS READY, BUT THE FLESH
IS WEAK.
1 Corinthians 9:24-27
24 Know ye not that they which run in a race run
all, but one receiveth the prize? So run, that ye
may obtain.
25 And EVERY MAN THAT STRIVETH FOR THE
MASTERY IS TEMPERATE IN ALL THINGS.
Now they do it to obtain a corruptible crown; but
we an incorruptible.
11. Training the Body and Spirit
1 Corinthians 9:24-27
26 I therefore so run, not as uncertainly; so fight I,
not as one that beateth the air:
27 But I KEEP UNDER MY BODY, AND BRING
IT INTO SUBJECTION: lest that by any means,
when I have preached to others, I myself should
be a castaway.
13. Philippians 1:20
According to my earnest
expectation and my hope, that in
nothing I shall be ashamed, but that
with all boldness, as always, so now
also Christ shall be magnified in my
body, whether it be by life, or by
death.
