This week we continue in Zechariah and are reminded of many things through this text: 
 
1) The Lord will protect His people (vs 12-13) 
2) The Lord will save His people (vs 14-15) 
3) The Lord will shepherd His people (vs 16-17) 
 
We are to return to our strongholds (do not flee!) and become prisoners of hope! 
 
How easy is it to fall out of Hope? We must remember that God owns the victory and we are the benefactors. That He cares for us and keeps us gathered as a shepherd does his flock. We are the jewels in His crown! 
 
How great is his love for us!!

Camden comes back this week with a reminder to endure and persevere in the faith! 
 
As he dives into Hebrews 3 we are reminded that the Israelites 
1) Hardened their hearts against God and rebelled 
2) The Lord tested them and they failed 
3) They failed to keep hears pointed towards God 
 
So, we need a Remedy and verse 13 provides the 'how'. Through christ. We cannot do this life alone. We need Jesus and we need each other to help guard one another.

Sunday 10/16/2022 Hebrews 3:7-12 with Camden Kendrick

This weeks section of scripture is referencing three different timeframes...the distant past, recent past and what is to come for the Israelites. 
 
As they are being called to build the temple, they are reminded by God as to what it was going to take to get there because the people have continued to run from Him when things got tough instead of doing what they were called to. Again and again. 
 
Reasons why we should be strong and take heart: 
1) You realize the truth of your calling 
2) You realize that, without God, you were crippled by fear and doubt 
 
Andrew also reminds us of who we are as children of God 
1) The work we were called to do 
2) The desperation that we came from 
3) The power and love of the one who calls us 
 
We are no longer slaves to fear.

What a series this has been! Week by week. Verse by verse from the word. 
 
At the conclusion of Jesus sermon on the mount, He emphasizes His divine authority. Considering all that He said and discussed, this is the perfect ending to His sermon. 
 
Today Pastor explores: 
1) Why was Jesus' authority recognized? 
2) How does Jesus have authority? 
3) Does the astonishment of the cross and realization of Christ's authority amount to salvation? (spoiler alert: NO!) 
 
We are challenged to consider if we have actually given over our lives to HIS authority or are we trying to create our own? Have we submitted to HIM or just saying we're a Christ follower?!? 
 
Other verses today: Matt 5:20, Mark 7:9-13, Genesis 1:26, John 1:1-4, Matt 28:18, John 11:25, Col 1:7, Matt 11:27 
 
Thanks for watching. Come see us one day.

Sunday 7.3.22 - Series conclusion - Matthew 7:28-29

Sunday 5/1/22-Matthew 6:22-24 
 
This week Andrew discusses the Dangers of Double-vision and what kind of tunnel vision we need. 80% of people say that sight is the most important sense. What about spiritual sight? What if we lose sight of His direction? What if we have double-vision...seeing two similar things but unable to identify The Truth?!? 
 
Dangers of double-vision: 
1) We are unable to have clear priorities 
2) We are bound to deceive ourselves 
3) We set ourselves in opposition against God 
 
Somewhere, the American church lost its focus on reaching the lost and started focusing on itself, internal programs, pleasures and let the world creep in. 
 
Other references: Proverbs 22:9, Proverbs 26:22, John 9:41, James 4:4
