The unchanging purposes of the church are to be in fellowship with Christ, to serve and love all, to make disciples of all nations, and to guide believers in a living faith.

1. Samson was fixated on his feelings not focus on the facts, "if you love me". 
2. Seduced by his past successes into a state of self-sufficiency, "I will go out". 
3. Sighted a strange source for his strength, "Samson's hair". 
Samson's strength came from "the Spirit of the Lord which descended on him".

**What Is The Source Of Your Strength?** | GMBC3701 | Sermon, Judges 16:15-20

There was a stir about that way in Ephesus, a prosperous large city where idolatry abounded. There was an initiation of a large response to the move of God brought about by the gospel preaching of Paul and his companions. It was a big deal that went far beyond the usual concurrent mumblings & grumblings about people not liking what he wore, that his wife should be quiet, or his compensation. This citywide tumult was a response to the gospel and I understand. To tell people already set in their ways that there is no way to cajole or compel deity to grant access to humanity by prayers appealing to an idol's vanity did not sit well with them. To tell people that God grants favor to those who merely believe on Him whom the Father had sent removes the fallaciousness of idols and graven things. They didn't need crucifixes, rosary beads, prayer shawls, or visual depictions of how they thought God should look. And in Ephesus, a city populated by people from around the empire - Jews and Gentiles - the gospel was a direct rebuke to the idolatry of Jupiter and Diana, Roman names for the Greek gods Zeus and Artemis, identifiable to all people who lived in or did business in that city. And one of the biggest lines of business there was the manufacture, distribution, and sale of metallic idols. The ability to produce and shape metal was not common in that time and those who had those particular skills would always be in demand. And there was a lot of money being made working metal in Ephesus by a close-knit community of those who took advantage of their skills to manufacture idols. But the gospel was cutting into their money. 
Demetrius, a denizen of the city, a silversmith by trade, unsaved, and caring nothing about the gospel or God Himself became alarmed at the trend and called a meeting. Yeah, even unsaved folk like to have meetings! He has seen how those who practiced sorcery and necromancy had been destroying their books & literature concerning their curious arts, renouncing their spells and incantations as a response to the gospel. It has been long said that the gospel will either draw you or drive you. It appears that while some were drawn, Demetrius gathered together those who had been hardened in their opposition for his fellow idol makers stood to lose a great deal because of the move of God. He stirred up the people and they took two of Paul's companions, Gaius and Aristarchus, and dragged them into the public theater to accuse them and to no doubt bring harm unto them for their works of faith. Paul knew and he would have gone in to bring them out but the disciples would not allow him to go. The authorities whom had apparently befriended Paul warned him not to go. The madness of the crowd of Ephesian citizens who took the law to their own hands assuredly created an unsafe environment. Even those who had no financial stake but who allowed themselves to be manipulated by those who had money by evil means gathered into the riotous rabble. The Bible says that many of them didn't even know why they were there. But they allowed themselves to be swept up into a movement that would not even help them. 
But interestingly there was one who knew why he was there, a Jew by the name of Alexander. In the madness and confusion of the moment he was selected to stand up and explain to everyone why he and the other metal workers were there. This very likely was Alexander the coppersmith, a person mentioned elsewhere in the scriptures, a man of whom was said did Paul much evil. As a known Jew in Ephesus he would have known why Paul was there. He would have known what Paul preached. But Alexander was there in contrivance to all of his monotheistic heritage as he was part of a guild that enabled idolatry. Alexander knew that there is only one sovereign God of the universe. And yet he gave himself over to the service of idolatry. He wanted to be a Jew, wanted to understand what Paul preached, and he also wanted to fatten his pockets. Alexander was trying to have it all. He wanted to have his cake and eat it too. He had his feet in two worlds, trying to make himself acceptable to idolatrous people who could not ever really abide that he was a Jew who only believed in one God. 
I need to ask everyone, how are you doing with that? How are you dealing with the fact that you were surrounded by idolaters and idolatry and yet God expects you to hold on to your testimony of Jesus Christ and Him crucified? How are you as a woman navigating the patriarchy? How are you as a non-heteronormative individual adapting to a world that only accepts cisgender binaries? How are you as a Black person living in a country founded on and dominated by white supremacy? How can any Black person in this country cozy up to and associate themselves with the politics of exclusion, racism, and an absence of social justice? How can a woman vote for politicians that relegate her to 2nd class status without control of her body?

There was an initiation of a large response to the move of God brought about by the gospel preaching of Paul and his companions.

The church, after early successes in Jerusalem, fell under great persecution with the faithful being attacked by the religious. It is interesting to me that then, as now, those who attend to the instruction of God, are too often forced to bear undue burdens because of those who have a form of godliness but deny the power thereof. Engaging in religion may not be indicative of a salvific faith. Offered as an illustration to us is the murder of Stephen for preaching Jesus. But don't forget that Jesus was crucified after being tried & condemned by priests & clerics. People not in the church are aware of these who were martyred and expects that believers - particularly preachers & other servants - are easy marks, always accomodating, ready to do anything to get them on our sides - especially when the church has been scattered. But of particular concern in the text is how one who should have known better very obviously did not. 
With Stephen's murder and church persecution led by Saul of Tarsus, the church save its leadership of Apostle-Prophets was scattered from Jerusalem. Phillip the Deacon was dispatched to Samaria. He encountered and impressed a man, Simon Magus, who was highly regarded by the people, holding himself up as the great power of God. He was not. But after seeing the people believe the Christ through Phillip's preaching, he himself decided that he, of himself, would believe also and followed Phillip as Phillip served. 
The church leadership group of Apostle-Prophets sent Peter & John to verify the faith of the Samaritans. Confirmation of their true faith in Christ brought about their reception of the Holy Ghost, demonstrating that Christ had sent the Word not only to Jerusalem & Judea, but also to Samaria and soon to the Gentiles in the uttermost parts of the earth. Simon wanted to do what Peter & John had done, laying hands on people who would then receive the Holy Ghost. And so he offered them money for the gift they possessed. To him it made sense. But very clearly, it was an unreasonable request. 
Has anyone ever made of you an unreasonable request? Something they had no right to ask for, something you should not do, something that would only benefit them while they pretend to be something they're not? Violators who are used to being on pedestals and have no idea how it is that humility shapes a servant? Those who will hang out & just wait for their chance to con you and everybody else just so they can look good? Unreasonable. Implacable. Obdurate and recalcitrant, they only think of themselves and think it to be your job & priority to satisfy them. And yeah, there's always one who is trying to bypass God to get where you are. 
1. Tell It Like It Is vv20-21 - I understand that some people are unlearned. I understand that some don't understand. But I also understand that some people just want to play you! Peter saw through Simon and he told it like it was. "Your money perish with you! You have no part of this! You can't buy this! This is God's gift! You don't have a power problem, you have a heart problem!" I always find it interesting when selfish folk say, "God knows my heart." God ain't the only one! And when people clearly demonstrate who and what they are, tell it like it is! 
2. Tell It Like Is Isn't vv22-23 - Simon. Was. Not. Saved! There is a clue for us. Peter told him to repent of his wickedness. Repenting - rethinking - is highly recommended for everyone because we need to straighten out our own heads. But Peter also said to pray for forgiveness. Now Jesus took the sins of believers to Calvary. Peter telling Simon to pray for forgiveness meant Simon's sins were retained & not redeemed. I love people, saints & aints. Folk don't have to believe like you. But don't tell people they're saved when they don't believe! When people are trying to use you, use God, and elevate themselves, don't tell them they have a salvation that they may not have! Everybody who mentions God isn't saved! 
3. Testify For The Increase vv24-25 - Lips can be a liability. The word can show the Way. And since Simon just wanted power and didn't want the word, nothing more could have helped him. Simon asked for prayer. But Peter's had told him, "Pray for yourself." Then Peter went to testify to those who might hear. You won't get them all. But if you tell somebody about the goodness of Jesus, the church will see increase!

**"An Unreasonable Request"** | GMBC3701 | Sermon, Acts 8:18-25

Around 63 BCE, as the Roman republic was expanding and becoming an empire, the Roman General Pompey undertook various campaigns of war & subjugation. He conquered Judaea, enslaved Jews, and carried them away in servitude. As they were forced to abide in Libertum, Cyrene, Cilicia, Alexandria, and about Asia Minor the enslaved Jews and their descendants became Hellenized - Greek exposed and cultured - but they were able to hold on to the faith of their fathers. In fact, it can be argued that their staunch adherence to their Judaism was what kept them within their identity as Jews. Can you imagine what it would take for any people to be invaded, enslaved, and transported against their will - maybe like they're trying to do do in Texas - maybe it was called an "involuntarily relocation" by the attacking, enslaving, degenerate men-stealers and their children - taken to a strange land...Can you imagine what strength of will it took for them to retain their Jewishness? Their faith, traditions, and practices keep their minds through their abusive marginalization, oppression, and exploitation? They had to hold onto what they knew just to survive and be who they were. Eventually, because Roman enslavement - evil as it was - was not always for life and wasn't passed generationally like the chattel enslavement of the 2nd American holocaust foisted upon African peoples by Europeans. These Hellenized Jews were freed and worshipped together in synagogues of freedmen, as Libertines - not to be confused with the incontinent. These were anything but. They very much believed that all Jews needed to rigidly follow all Jewish rules and traditions because that's what brought them through. Old time religion. Do it like I did it, like Mama & Daddy did it, like Grandma because if it was good enough for me, it's good enough for you. People said & say that to me in the church. But I need to tell some people, "I'm sorry, but I'm not you." 
The scriptures immediately previous to the text I read recount the selection of 7 men who would serve in the management and distribution of the infant church's resources. We regard this as the template for Deacon election. There's no controversy of their qualifications or decision making. The Apostles tasked the church to choose from among them their most faithful, their wisest, their most led by the Holy Spirit members. Let me say that any church - every church - chooses from themselves those that represent the true character of that church. That was a faithful, wise, and Spirit filled church. They chose faithful, wise, & filled. And so when church doubts its deacons, tries to manipulate the deacons, or second guess the deacons, it really doubts, manipulates, and second guesses itself. Like it is with a spouse, if you don't trust them you either can't be trusted or can't be trusted with making decisions yourself because you make bad ones. *Learn to trust who you choose by becoming trustworthy enough to make choices!* 
The church chose 7, but Deacon Stephen, full of faith & the Holy Ghost, was surely somebody's preacher. He went to those of the Libertine synogogue, people with a recent history of pain and hurt, recently freed from man, to deliver them from the bondage of the law, preaching Jesus and Him crucified! The wanted to convert him to their way. But he had already found a more excellent way - the Way. No doubt his heart was open & he was empathetic to their pain. But I have come to know that hurt people tend to hurt other people and if anything is going to get better for everybody, we have to acknowledge your struggle and you have to lay down all of the things that are keeping your mind where it always has been and be delivered from yourself! I love you! But I don't want to be you! I don't want you to be stuck on your last blessing when God is ready to take you beyond where you are and into who He's calling you to be! 
Now make no mistake about this: Those of that group were Jews but they weren't the church. They were connected to people in the church by proximity, ancestry, & history. Sometimes we have to beware of people who are connected to the church but are not the church because they have an agenda that is not quite the same as yours. They want you to act like them. But I'm so sorry. I'm just not you! 
1. Keep Your Charge vv9-10, Jesus gave His church a charge to preach the gospel - to be HIS witnesses, not our witnesses. We preach HIS life, death, burial, and resurrection. We do not preach our experiences as the way of salvation. 
2. Keep Regard Of Custom v14, In order to have empathy for the ones you're trying to help, you have to know where they're coming from. You have to understand what they've been through and why it is important to them that they cling to their ways & customs. 
3. Keep Your Cool v15. No matter how they rail on you, talk about you, say you're not who Jesus said you are, keep your cool. People's opinions don't change who you are. And when God said you're saved.

I have been hearing people ask, "What has happened in this country?" I try to help the understand that, by our history, the state of America shouldn't surprise us. 
When bad things happen, God's people react. Our reactions are not always perfect or on point. But most of the time we should try to make some changes, especially when the bad thing was brought about by evil men (men & women). The pernicious aspect of evil is that it is oftentimes so appealing to an unrenewed mind that it often appears to be good. But sociopaths don't care one way or another. They just want what they want. 
1. Look Above v24a 
- Pray. Pray first before you make a move. But if you forget to pray early, pray late. Pray anyway because it's never too late to pray. God will always listen to the prayers of sinners and of the righteous for a sinner can be saved while the prayers of the righteous availeth much! Look above! Pray! 
2. Look Around v24b 
- Look around. You may have lost something. But how many of you know that your losing something doesn't mean that God hasn't left something? The blessing you need, the strength you need, the friend you need + all of these might already be in your presence! We get so fixated on what we don't have that we forget what we do have! Look around! 
3. Leave Some Folk Alone v25 
- We have a sense of our own failings. Empathy should move us to bring about changes to help those who sin. I understand that. I have sinned and yet I am saved! Anybody glad to be saved. But also have realize that some won't be saved and that they'll never change. Judas wouldn't change. He went down to his place in hell. They could not deliver him. They left him alone. The white supremacist who hunted Black elders in Buffalo & the child killer in Uvalde didn't change. Hell is waiting. Leave them alone! Manipulative misogynists who are turning women into handmaiden receptacles for unmelanated conservative seed will never change. Leave them alone! You can't change anyone. And when evil folk won't change, give 'em to God. Leave them alone!

When Jesus was ready to ascend unto heaven, He instructed His disciples to wait in Jerusalem so that they would be endued with power by the coming of the Holy Spirit as promised by the Father. The authority - the power - of their witness of Christ would be most effectual after the Holy Spirit had come upon them to dwell in them and be God's presence with them. They returned to Jerusalem and assembled themselves. They were together in presence. They were together in prayer. They were together in purpose. They had to be. You see there was this place that they and everyone else knew about. That place was called Aceldama. 
A huge part of the story that was their collective experience was the betrayal and demise of Judas. Judas led those who took Jesus directly to Him. For his own reasons, believing himself to be doing good, Judas chose to betray innocent blood and got paid in the process. I don't think that the money was the main driver. I think it was incidental to his desire to be the one to make things happen. But after the reality of what he had done set in, he tried to take the money back and absolve himself of his guilt. It was too late. Consumed by remorse, Judas hung himself and his swollen corpse exploded, his bowels gushing out on the ground in a field that had become known as Aceldama - the field of blood. Everyone knew what happened. And while the disciples feared the authorities who knew their association with Jesus, they were also aware that the people knew of their association with Judas the betrayer and his shame in the field of blood called Aceldama. In the eyes of the people, if Judas did this, what about those that he had been with? And the disciples had to know that very easily their connection to Judas and what he did could make them look just as bad. 
Do you remember Aceldama? I'm not just talking about what happened with Judas. Do you remember your Aceldama - that thing that somebody connected to you did that was so heinous and terrible that affected you so much that you went into damage control mode to show people that you were not what they could think you are? Aceldama could be fake believers harming doctors who provide healthcare to women. Aceldama could be belonging to a church where members went broke giving to con men who promised God would give money after making prosperity pimps rich. Aceldama is a family member who won't stop doing crime! Aceldama is anything in your life that makes you feel guilty by association! I remember Aceldama! No one wants to look bad because of what somebody else did! Certainly Peter didn't! And so he, in typical Peter fashion, sprung into action. But disciple there are a few things that I want to suggest that you do whenever you remember Aceldama and how people might look at you. 
1. Remember The Appointment v17 
- Peter had a plan to replace Judas, even falling back onto the scriptures to justify it. But from his own lips he said Judas had been numbered with and had obtained a part of the ministry with them. They had all been appointed but they did not appoint themselves. Jesus did it. If Jesus appointed them, then Jesus could appoint another! 
2. Remember That You're Not Alone vv21-22 
- People might have thought ill of them. But they had each other. Peter thought the 120 were there as a selection pool for apostleship. But they were there as the core of fellowship. They needed that! When you are afraid of what people might say or do, having friends and fellowship will help you! You're not alone! 
3. Refrain From Getting Ahead v23 
- The disciples searched for the best among them. They came up with Joseph called Barsabas and Matthias. They gave God a choice between the best of the best. But I would suggest to you that you need to be careful about getting ahead of God! Slow down!

As we move toward Pentecost I am moved to remembering how the church came together. In our life & times the church is very often ill thought of and spoken about by those who have no real commitment to it. Lots of people have connection. Fewer and fewer have commitment. Some see the church as having less relevance because they expect that God should intervene and end evil unilaterally to give everyone perfect lives. Others view the hypocrisies and injustices of humanity and see that as a reflection of who & what God is. And still more believe that because the idea of theology is metaphysical that God has to be mythological. Some think there are many gods. Others think they are gods. And then there is the proposition that only the natural is our lineage and so the earth is our god & mother. But as for me I truly believe that God is God. And though the very idea of God is too big for me to fully fathom or explain, my limitations don't preclude any reality of God. The Bible, this revelation of God, declares that God instituted redemption through motherhood and all that it entails. This does not mean that women must have children to be redeemable, but that redemption would come to humanity through the seed of a woman. The first instruction for motherhood was to be a keeper at home. The qualities of leadership, partnership, and fellowship are inextricably connected to being a keeper - to being one who is committed enough to maintain connections, even after hardship, brokenness, and personal pain. Mary, the mother of Jesus, was well acquainted with all of these. 
Mary was pregnant before her marital consummation, reviled by not fitting societal norms. She stuck by her truth. We see her with her children without a husband. She watched the execution of her firstborn. And she continued to be a leader, a partner, and be in fellowship with the righteous. From what the Bible says, Mary had a lot in common with minority women today who are looked down on while they watch civil authorities abuse & even execute their children and come out of it doing good for all! Don't overlook what it takes to be a mother! It is much more than biology and giving birth. It's being a leader, a partner, and in fellowship. And let me say to anyone who says that women can't lead has at best only selectively looked at the scriptures. At worst you have subscribed to ungodly dogmas of superiority, patriarchy, and misogyny for in the kingdom there is neither male nor female. Motherhood is being a keeper like God is a keeper. And in the upper room, with the 11, with other disciples, with the other women, and with her children we find Mary exemplifying things that we sometimes overlook as essential aspects of motherhood. 
1. Keep Everyone In Place 
They had fled & scattered. Now they were on one accord and all together. In the room was where they needed to be. They were in place. A good mother knows how to help people IN place, and to also help keep people in THEIR place. Mothers should never author confusion. Encourage good choices. Mothers can help people find and keep themselves in the right spaces and places! 
2. Keep Everyone Praying 
- Trials come. Temptations continue. Troubles crush. But I'm so glad for mothers who know the worth of prayer. Mary prayed before there was a church. Somebody praying for us before we were in the church. Anybody thankful for a praying mother? Believing mothers can pray and keep others praying. There's power when you pray with others! 
3. Keep Everyone Positive 
- The text says prayers and supplications. Prayer is communication with God. Supplication is a plea. They were asking for something. A supplication is made when a person bends & bows the head, grasps the ankles of the one with provision, humbles self, needing mercy, trusting that there is mercy, expecting the petition to be granted. To expect a positive result, it's best to have a positive outlook. Believe that you shall receive. A mother's attitude has to be so positive that she keeps those around her positive. The Bible does not say what it was that they asked God to do. I suspect that it may have been, "Thy kingdom come, thy will be done..." Be so positive that that even if you don't get what you ask for, you know that it's gonna be alright! If you humble yourself and God says no, believe that God has something better! So keep everyone - family, friends, foes, the fickle and the fake - keep them positive by you being positive. Head up! Shoulders back! Tell them that God is! Tell them that God can! Tell them God will!

As we move toward Pentecost I am moved to remembering how the church came together. In our life & times the church is very often ill thought of and spoken about by those who have no real commitment to it. Lots of people have connection. Fewer and fewer have commitment. Some see the church as having less relevance because they expect that God should intervene and end evil unilaterally to give everyone perfect lives. Others view the hypocrisies and injustices of humanity and see that as a reflection of who & what God is. And still more believe that because the idea of theology is metaphysical that God has to be mythological. Some think there are many gods. Others think they are gods. And then there is the proposition that only the nat

I have noticed something. With our world being what it is, with all the problematic issues we face - evil greed causing the lack of necessities, absence of health care, marginalization and discrimination of and against anyone not of the structures of power, corruption, treason against the ideals of democracy, wealth inequities worse than they were before the Great Depression, taxation, policing, and court systems that unequally apply the law to the haves and to the have nots, and an ever evolving pandemic that has killed at least 5.6 million people worldwide with 780,000 dead in our country - people still are not turning to God. In our faith, that means believing in Jesus Christ, the only begotten Son. To their reckoning, some would say that they don't need Him. Others would say that they don't want Him because of what evil men have presented Him to be. I understand where they're coming from. If you don't believe that you need Him or have chosen to not want Him, I really cannot do much to change the minds of people who already think they know what they already need to know. But there are some people who recognize that the world is in trouble and themselves along with it. They know that they cannot make it alone and that man has not been able to fix the situation or assuage their fears. They have heared that there is a God that sits high and looks low, served by these people who call themselves by His name. Yet and still they are not quite ready for Jesus. And these folk may be the hardest to reach because know that they need help, but are still trying to help themselves. I am sorry to burst some bubbles but somebody needs to know that you can't do everything by yourself. Doesn't matter how pious or prayerful, smart or strong, allied or alienated you have been, you can't make it by yourself. To make it through a foul temporality into a blessed eternity, I suggest Jesus, even if you're not ready. How can you help someone? 
1. Go Before Him v17a 
- Zechariah was a devout man who served God. He and his wife Elisabeth were faithful, aged, and childless. I understand their devotion. When you don't have what everyone else does, turning to God makes sense. The angel Gabriel appeared as he went before the Lord in the temple for the people and told him that they would have a son to go before the Lord as well. Do you realize that your faith now may prefigure faith of those to come after you? Go before Him! 
2. Gain BackTheir Hearts v17b 
- I hate to say it but it's true: Too many have lost heart. They have lost love, compassion, care, and connection. But to be connected to God means necessarily that your will must be engaged. To truly be connected to God, you need to want Him. What does your heart cost? What will it take to gain a heart? Do what you need to but gain their hearts! 
3. Get Back To Holiness v17c 
- Get them to holiness. This means allowing them room to separate from what was to walk into what will be. Some don't want to let go. But some of us can't walk into our destiny because we're holding onto what is to our detriment. Show them a more excellent way! Be holy and show them that it can be done! 
4. Give Blessings At Home vv23-24 
- There is a great work to do. But I want you to notice that if all spoken by the angel, most is about John, not Zechariah. What Zechariah had to do was the easiest and most basic thing. He hadto get home and love his wife. He hadto be a blessing at home. And what we tend to forget is that great things start with small things. You can't get to great unless you handle small. Be faithful over few things. You may not be the one to complete the mission, but do your part to get the ball rolling! Start where you are! You don't need a great assignment! Just do your assignment. Be a blessing where you are! That is how you get people ready for Jesus!

The story of Samson and Delilah has often been portrayed as a case study in how dangerous a woman can be. I do not completely discard that idea. But I also do not wholeheartedly support it. I do support the premise that human beings can be dangerous. The historically empirical evidence of human societies reveals that patriarchy relegates women to the status as being lesser beings. And while I have always strived to lead in romantic relations, me as a leader should never mean she is lesser. Nor should it mean that she is the Queen and I merely her subject. What it should mean is that people in relationships should be equal partners who bring all of themselves to see to the good of each other instead of self. When you love people, you allow them space in your life and, typically, you seek to have space in their lives. Most of the time it is wise to let them have room to be blessings to you. And for most people that will be enough for you to have relationship as family, friends, or lovers. But there are times when we allow people to have somewhat more space & access to our pains and vulnerabilities. These people are ostensibly there to be helpers to heal and build. But some take advantage, violate boundaries, manipulate & control, and just wreak havoc and destroy. They move from being blessings to becoming curses in your life. We know this all too well. Can I get a witness? 
Now Samson, of all those designated as a holy man of God in the scriptures - a Judge - is truly an exception. The Lord Himself announced his birth, consecration, and purpose. That he was called by God and sinned is unremarkable. But Samson is the only one that I have found in the Bible endowed with God's supernatural power, and yet neither received nor preached a new & revealed word from God. And somewhere along the way, he began to believe his own hype and press, and he exploited his exceptions because he was "special." 
And as much as he did good for the people to begin their deliverance from the Philistines, he never learned how to deal with Delilah. 
1. Don't Get Seduced v4 
- Delilah is called a woman in the valley of Sorek, no description of her at all. Jacob fell in love with Rachel after seeing her fine figure and banging body. Solomon loved the Queen of Sheba, a Black Queen who was dark and lovely. But Delilah has no description at all. And I believe that this should tell us that Delilah is anyone and anything you love that is outside of your boundaries & purpose. Some of you women have some Dannys and Denroys in your lives. Samson was outside of the lines and was always out of line. He had a predilection for those fine Phonecian women. Delilah wasn't his first. His mother had even asked why he never considered women of his own people. *Some of our exceptionals don't want any of our women or men either!* Delilah didn't seduce him. He was seduced by his own ego for every man is tempted when he is drawn away of his own lust and enticed. Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin, and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death. Delilah is not the problem! We all seduce ourselves into sin! Control yourself and what you want! 
2. Don't Give Away Your Strength v17 
- The Philistine lords had made a deal with Delilah. She may have liked Samson before. The text says that Samson loved her, not that she loved him. *Only love something that can love you back.* But at this point, she was in it for the money. And let me say to the women out there looking to sneak into the bedroom of Boaz because they want to secure the bag: Figure out whether you're Ruth or Delilah. She nagged Samson day & night for the secret. He wouldn't say. But when she said he didn't love her - trigger words for "I'm leaving" - his soul was found vexed to death and he gave away his strength. If Delilah wants to leave, "Bye Delilah!" 
3. Don't Get Sold Out v18 
- What isn't good for you, will sell you out. When someone in your circle tries to access your weaknesses & vulnerabilities, pay attention. They may be looking to sell you out. When people seek advantage, look for who gets paid and for who's doing the paying. Follow the money! Don't get sold out! Don't allow people to profit from your pain. Connect with the One who came to pay the price for you, not to collect a bounty on you!

Confession time. Generally - not completely, but a normative practice of living - I like and love people. I truly believe that we are on this earth to love and help one another. I believe that we are to let people determine the courses of their own lives, that we are to not interfere with other people's relationships, and that we are to live out not only our truths but to live in the truth with no denial of reality. That being said, I do not always like or love the things that some people do. I have a problem with lies, bullying, deception, theft, exploitation, and reckless endangerment. I really have a problem with direct physical and psychological harm from abuse & violence including assaults, rape, and murder. Maybe these things don't bother everyone. But I think that we all can agree that evil will be a problem for any of us when it is done to us personally. Paul knew. Alexander hurt him. I know we are all supposed to be holy and nothing is supposed to bother us because we're saved, sanctified, and Holy Ghost filled but can I get somebody to be honest and admit that when people deliberately and with malice aforethought bring evil into your life and try to break you, you are ready to turn the tables and flip the script and show them just how big a mistake they made and that they really didn't know who they were messing with?! Maybe it's just me but I have not forgotten who I once was and when people do me evil I don't always want to overcome their evil with love! Sometimes I want to do unto others as they have already done unto me and let the chips fall where they may! But then I remember that the word says that, "Vengeance is mine, saith the Lord," and I remind my head, heart, and hands that I need to let God be God. 
You see doing God's work does not mean doing what God Himself does. It means doing what God gave into your hands to do. You don't need to defend God's honor. God is self-aware and is still God whatever happens! 
1. Stay In Your Place v14b 
- Paul said to Timothy, "Lord reward him (Alexander) according to his (Alexander's) works." For context, remember that Paul and Barnabas, early in their ministries, had ruined the idol making businesses of those who had knowledge of metallurgy - working gold, silver, and copper into and onto forms of false gods for idolators to worship. Alexander was a coppersmith with a dubious connection to the new church. But Paul messed with his money. I may not know everything but I do know that if you mess with a man's money or with his honey, that dude with probably hate you forever! So Alexander became the thorn in Paul's side, vexing him & rousing the people against Paul wherever he went. And as an Apostle, Paul had at his disposal a number of things to stop him - calling down fire as James & John desired, having him fall out dead and carried out like Ananias and Sapphira, turning him out of the fellowship. But Paul gave him to God to handle. Paul didn't step into God's place as judge. Neither should you! Stay in your place! 
2. Stick With Your Purpose v15a 
- Your purpose is to be a full, well rounded believer, living what you say you believe. Your purpose requires you to not be distracted. You can't let your enemies take up your head space and distract you. Beware and be aware of the machinations of your enemy but stick with your purpose. The enemy wants to ruin your credibility and destroy your purpose! Don't let him! Stick with your purpose! 
3. Stick To The Point v15b 
- Alexander, despite wealth, reputation, influence, & social standing withstood the word of God. That Paul could reference him meant that he was well known of all. But when you have one who withstands the word of God, he's not your enemy - he opposes God. You can't fix everybody or anybody! All you can do for some people is to stick to the point - the word of God. I don't know who needs to hear this, but keep preaching! They fight you! They've been fighting others before! Stick to the point and preach the word of God!

Have you ever seen a movie remake? Not a sequel that simply builds on an ongoing story but I'm talking about an already told story. Then somebody comes along, changes a couple of plot points, adds some characters, but you already know how the story ends. And if there is not a lot of detail or character development or revelations that had not been known, you wonder why they even bothered. I can tell you why though. They saw the prospect of money and just took the easy road of following someone else's path. When people love money they will do anything - no matter how poor in taste, how distasteful, how abjectly evil, how rapingly, murderously, enslaving it is - evil people will do evil just as evil people have done before and for the same reasons - money and power. 
Case in point: The previous dynasty before this point in today's text knew Joseph and knew Joseph's God. Joseph's God was the reason why Egypt survived famine. Today's text references a new king over Egypt which knew not Joseph and therefore did not know Joseph's God. But the new king was not Egyptian. According to the earliest historical account by an Egyptian priest named Manetho and recounted by Jewish historian Josephus, the Hyksos had come and colonized Egypt through superior warfighting technologies. There is evidence that they began arriving as friendlies, but they were able to take over the nation. They believed it was their manifest destiny to rule the lands belonging to others. But they were fearful as well as greedy. They enslaved Joseph's people - the Hebrews - to do the work they would not do themselves. They arrived pretending to be friends, colonized their lands, and in fear enslaved a people to enrich themselves. And even though a large portion of America is loathe to admit it, this story - with some plot & character changes - is the very history of the United States of America as colonizers stole, raped, murdered, and enslaved while they called it Manifest Destiny! 
What does any of this have to do with how we got here and why what is is the way it is? We had Ancient Egypt's evil replayed in the taking of this land and, with some changes in methods & plot points, we have that evil here, right now. The colonizers' descendants, now in fear of becoming a minority to the minorities, maintains by forcing the mechanics of enslavement - denial of education, discrimination, marginalization, criminalization, ostracization, subsistence poverty, and oligarchy - to greedily enrich themselves and keep social domination! That's how we got here! The relevant question now is of how we can get out before the story ends. The text read to this point doesn't show the end so the people at that time did not know. But allow me to suggest to you: 
1. Recognize The Pattern v8 
- The more things change, the more they stay the same. The societal inertia is well entrenched. They didn't know God. To know God encourages men to love their neighbors, not to oppress them. The oppressor, not knowing God, often is too lazy to apply the necessary energy required to change course. Oppressors will do what they have done until they decide to fix what they have broken. And contrary to what anyone says, they don't want us to leave. They make money on our backs! Recognize that pattern! 
2. Resist Their Power vv12-13 
- Right now you cannot take their systemic power. But you can resist. Vote! Vaccinate! Think! Refuse to assimilate! Deny them opportunities to use you! Don't go along to make things easy for yourself! Be yourself and not who they say you are! Honor your ancestors for the struggles they endured. Choose to live and not die! Fight for your life because your Black life matters! Resist! Crack the foundations of their supremacy! Resist! 
3. Rely On The People v14 
- Moses might not come. We already saw that evil kills Moses whether it's Medgar Evers, Malcolm X, Dr. King, or Fred Hampton. We have to stick together. Don't let power divide us. Our power is in our unity. And we need each other, every single one of us! God is on the side of the oppressed every single time! And when the time comes for all oppressed people to be free, God will recompense it all! But we have to do it together!

Jesus told the story of two men. One is rich and was said to fare sumptuously each day. The other was Lazarus, a beggar who barely subsisted on the rich man's crumbs. Luke does not preface the text as being a parable. Although it contains a lesson, let's take this as an actual account in their lives. It shouldn't be hard to believe. The wealthy have very often disregarded the plight of the poor - that's how most of them stay wealthy. Most of the get rich by inheriting wealth gained from exploitation, especially in this country. It's been asked why Lazarus was begging and what he did to become so poor. The poor we always have among us. Instead of seeing humans that need help, too many look for reasons why they shouldn't be helped, even by people who claim faith because surely, in this world, they could have bootstrapped their way up. But some people don't even have boots! The answer is that it's not our place to judge the forsaken, the outcast, and the downtrodden. We don't know why Lazarus is poor because that's none of our business. It's none of your business why someone is struggling. Your business is helping him in the struggle! And that is what the rich man did not do! 
Both of them died. Lazarus was comforted, in Abraham's bosom. The rich man went to hell. He had means, money, and more than enough. But he went straight to hell! This is how I know he was a fool. 
The fool says in his heart that ther is no God. If you don't acknowledge God - if you blaspheme/deny God - you won't be saved by God. The rich man didn't and wasn't. He busted hell wide open, separated from his money and all that it did for him with nothing to take its place. A fool and his money are soon parted. When you die you leave it all! But a fool and life will be parted when life all is about what you can get and keep from others. 
1. Don't Fear Losing The Former v19 
- Are you at risk of losing your life & soul because you refuse to count the cost of selfish self-interest? The cost of the rich man's opulence was losing life and an eternity in torments because he refused to sacrifice his hubris & hedonism. He gave up crumbs only! But what price are you willing to pay for your life? The common thing for all people is that everything costs something, even if God pays the bill. Saved or unsaved, a cost is attached to everything. Will you lose your life in order that you might find it? 
2. Don't Fear Living Faithfully vv20, 23 
- I don't think people could see it. I don't suppose any predicted it. But when this begger, Lazarus, died he was vindicated. There is no mention of his good deeds & church attendance. But he had to be a believer! He was righteous in the sight of God. He had low social standing, but he had heavenly credentials. People may not see it in you, but don't be afraid to be faithful. I have a made up mind and I am going to be faithful even if nobody recognizes me, elevates me, or praises me! You're not performing for man's applause! You're to live faithful unto God! 
3. Don't Fear Looking Foolish v21 
- Lazarus looked like the foolish one. He was carried. Dogs licked him. He didn't have anything. He either lost everything or he never had anything. And I can identify with Lazarus. You see, I have not much at all. I'm called foolish because I make money and give it away. I was called foolish because I wanted to be saved. It cost me. I wanted to serve and be faithful. It cost me. Those things still cost me. Although I have suffered loss for my faith and fealty to God, I wouldn't trade places with anyone on the way to hell! And if it means that I have to look like a fool, be broke like a fool, discarded like a fool, beg like a fool, preach like a fool, I'll be that fool! I will lose all the money on earth if it means that I will be with God and miss hell! Do I have anybody with me?

Jesus came. He lived. He died. He was buried. He Rose. He spent 40 days after the resurrection on earth with His disciples. Undoubtedly this had to bring relief to them. They had a hard time when He was taken & crucified. With His taking up His life again, perhaps they thought times were better. But does anyone recognize that your trials & tribulations can continue even though things might be looking up? Don't miss it. They had One back that they had lost but He was there for 40 days. 40 days is a time of trial. The 40 days actually were the time of trial, whether they realized it or not. In that time, their faithfulness was tested. It had to be because Jesus was going to leave them again. And leave He did. He ascended to the Father, telling them to wait on the promise of the Spirit. And even though the 40 days had elapsed, there were surely more trials and challenges ahead. 
With the 11 who were to be apostles, the mother of Jesus was in the midst. She, other faithful women, and her children - siblings of Jesus - accompanied them. While the text says that they all prayed, take notice of this mother who prayed. This was a woman who had been called a liar about her son's parentage, was on the verge of losing her betrothed husband, took a hard journey while pregnant and gave birth in a stable, had her chastity disparaged over her refusal to recant what God had done, had more babies but was compelled to ask her firstborn to defend her honor by proving who He was and is forevermore, had to watch Him be crucified, and had to watch Him leave again after He came back. If am pretty sure that Mary, after all that she had been through, knew the worth and value of prayer. I hate it when mothers go through so much. But perhaps you mothers go through so you can learn how to get a prayer through. And there, in that place, there was a praying mother in the midst. How many are glad that there have been some praying mothers in the midst? 
1. Pray With People v14a 
Mary, the mother of Jesus, did not abandon His friends. In fact, she continued with them. Jesus had given them an assignment & direction. He would not be with them physically and that matters. Presence with people in prayer matters because it is better to pray with people when you pray for people instead of praying alone. We are a faith community, not a faith hermitry! And you know how you can ask someone for prayer and the answer is prayers will be offered but later? Don't do that. Pray with them at that moment and in their presence! 
2. Pray With Passion v14b 
- Let love mingle with your praxis of prayer. Look, after all that Mary had been through, no one would have blamed her for becoming bitter & withdrawing from the world while continuing a claim of loving people. Isn't that what people do? But love is a movement and actionable. Her connection of love extended beyond Jesus. Not only was she there, her other children were there, her Son's friends were there. She was connected to them which is important because you must pray for your loved ones. If you don't love, you won't pray. Put your heart into your prayer! 
3. Pray With Purpose vv15-26 
- The text doesn't show what she prayed about. And I know that a large portion of the text read today is about how the 11 decided to replace Judas. But this is the reason why you need to find purpose for prayer. Jesus didn't tell them to replace Judas. He could do that Himself. The text says that the 11 stopped praying & started doing their own thing. You can pray all day and people will still do what they want. But you stay faithful to your purpose. It doesn't say that Mary stopped praying! Keep praying! Your purpose is not to have your will, but that His will be done. Whatever your challenge, whatever the situation, pray with this purpose. Instead of trying to change things, let prayer change you! Pray and pray today! Make faithfulness your purpose! Pray!

Jesus came. He lived. He died. He was buried. He Rose. He spent 40 days after the resurrection on earth with His disciples. Undoubtedly this had to bring relief to them. They had a hard time when He was taken & crucified. With His taking up His life again, perhaps they thought times were better. But does anyone recognize that your trials & tribulations can continue even though things might be looking up? Don't miss it. They had One back that they had lost but He was there for 40 days. 40 days is a time of trial. The 40 days actually were the time of trial, whether they realized it or not. In that time, their faithfulness was tested. It had to be because Jesus was going to leave them again. And leave He did. He ascended to the Father, telling them to wait on the promise of the Spirit. And even though the 40 day

As we are in the season of celebrating and reflecting upon the resurrection, certain things come to my mind. Certainly I am not the only one. But as for me I consider my place within God's purposes and my performance in the faith, particularly in being faithful. As a servant of God's people I must pay attention to the differences in serving others and in serving myself. I do have self responsibilities. But greater than those are my responsibilities to others and to God. This text reminds me of experiences in ministry - things I have done and things that have been done to me. It is not easy to bear the mantle. I've done well. I've done not so well. But this text reminds me that as you do your best work, you will have not only critics but active enemies - enemies that arise not because of jealousy, but because they want to acquire and retain power. I've been attacked by those who sought to diminish the influence of the gospel and increase their standing but I now know that it wasn't simple jealousy. It was calculated evil. Too often, the sinful and self serving desire power only to enrich and entrench themselves in positions to ensure their continued control. And they'll even use what God said in order to do it. We must see that. 
The text recounts event immediately after the resurrection of Lazarus from the dead. Jesus had done not only a miracle, but an exceptional miracle. The council was afraid of losing their allied agreement with the Romans & their hold over the people. Caiaphas prophesied that it was good for Jesus to die for both Jews & Gentiles. Obviously he knew the word of God. As the Jews had tried multiple times to kill Jesus and failed, they decided to work another plan to keep their power. You see, if you are one that wants control, you probably don't need to have it, as self serving sinfulness becomes embedded in your mental DNA. It is hard to break that pattern. But it can be done! As a servant, as long as you serve yourself, you will not serve others! 
How can you avoid these errors and the evils of self serving sins? 
1. Forget The Disturbance v54a 
- Jesus knew what was in them. And as this was close to the time in which He was to be offered, He did nothing to prevent their sin. Isn't that surprising, that Jesus did not discourage, admonish, or stop their sin? Look. You cannot change anybody. You can help some. But there are some people who are so focused on themselves that you cannot help them. Some people in life you will need to leave alone. Forget what they say. Forget what they do. Leave them alone! Let them tread the paths they choose. Don't let their disturbance disrupt your peace! 
2. Follow Your Destiny v54b-c 
- Jesus not only left them alone, He went to another place. His destination was not with them. His destiny lay in another place. So does yours! Have enough courage to separate yourself from those who would harm you. Your destiny may include pain but if the time of your cross is near but has not yet come, keep following your destiny! God has a place of safety, even out by the wilderness, to keep you from all of the foolishness, all the mess, from the plots and plans of the enemy! 
3. Feed The Disciples v54d 
- This is the most important part. Your service was never about you. Jesus didn't come to serve Himself, but others. He continued with the disciples. So feed the disciples. There's someone hungry for a word. If you truly want to be like Jesus, feed the disciples. And so when I get tired, attacked, discouraged, I go back to square one and get back to why God called me! Preach! Teach! Pray! Praise! Feed God's people! Feed the disciples.

I have another confession to make to you - an admission of my humanity. My humaness apparently and evidently get in the way of so many others' expectation of pastoral godliness in me. But I need you to know from the beginning that I am a bit irritated. I find myself to be increasingly so with not all people, but with people who are supposed to be of the faith. When you believe in God you are not granted a license to have things the way you want them to be. Yet and still, this is the behavior that we see and hear every day. It is made worse to see in these times because these times are difficult for us as a country and as a world community. But it is particularly hard for me because I am a Black man that serves a Black church full of Black people who should know that there is not much in the world that is fair or equitable - not because of God - but because of the evils that men do. God hates a false balance and an unjust measure. We any seeks advantage over another, that is what God hates. And yet the world is unjust and unbalanced. As the events in the book of Job took place before the advent of Christ or the giving of the law with promises to Israel, I chose this text to show you the raw and unfiltered reality of deliverance's expectation without a blessed reception. Job knew the unfairness of living and someone needs to know today that as long as you live on this earth, there are no guarantees that you will find your answers to your questions. 
Job was faithful. Job was respected. Job was a leader. Job had his wealth stolen, his children killed, his body broken, his wife to check out on him, the public to laugh at him, and his friends to blame him. And in the garbage dump he made his complaint to God. Have any of you, through the injustices, unfairness, sickness, poverty, loneliness, and bitterness of life begun to ask God why? Have you had to suffer not getting an answer? But are you owed an explanation? 
8 Oh that I might have my request; and that God would grant me the thing that I long for! 
9 Even that it would please God to destroy me; that he would let loose his hand, and cut me off! 
10 Then should I yet have comfort; yea, I would harden myself in sorrow: let him not spare; for I have not concealed the words of the Holy One. 
Job, because of the incomprehension of his circumstances, would have rather just died than deal with them. Many others in our time feel the same way. But our faithfulness is no shield against hardship and the complications of unanswered whys are no excuse to check out. Job was not being tested by God. It was not a test. It was a demonstration. God knew what was in Job. God wanted Satan and everyone else to know also. No answer was given for what Job wanted. No answer for why. No answer for when. No answers. Just questions. But perhaps the answers are not for God to give. Maybe the answers are contained in the very questions you ask: 
11 What is my strength, that I should hope? and what is mine end, that I should prolong my life? 
12 Is my strength the strength of stones? or is my flesh of brass? 
13 Is not my help in me? and is wisdom driven quite from me? 
The text suggests that the answers may indeed lie within the questions. 
1. Forsake The Strength Of Self v13 
- Those of us who fancy ourselves to be smart and self-sufficient can become deluded with the idea that we can always work it out. But none of us are smart or wise enough to figure out everything on our own. We don't always have the answers for ourselves. But maybe we can find ourselves to be the help for others. You & your strength are not always the answers for your questions because you can do everything right and have things go wrong. Forsake the strength of self. 
2. Forget The Strength Of Stuff v12 
- Stones and brass are hard, durable, and weapons of war. But they are ineffectual for every fight. If you could find the answers for all problems in stuff, having stuff would prevent the oresence of problems! Things cannot guarantee happiness and only can be used to provide comfort in your misery. But stuff will not ever be your answer. Forget the strength of stuff! 
3. Find Strength In The Savior vv10b-11 
- Job spoke of God and then immediately thought of where else to turn. Too many of us speak of God and forget Him in the next breath! Ultimately, the answers lie in God. Even if you don't get your questions answered, stick with the Savior. This sovereign God who knows all things already knows you and all that would come to you. Your Savior - God - knows the answer, has the answer, and is the answer even if He never tells you! His strength is real strength that cannot be defeated. And if you are in His side, having found His strength, you may find that you don't need what you thought you needed! Find your strength in God!

Before I begin, allow me to apologize to everyone that I have hurt or disappointed over the course of my life. To everyone to whom I was obligated and have failed, I am truly sorry and beg your forgiveness. I have in fact let some people down in my circles of family, fellowship, and friends. I didn't want to. I mean it. 
Let me also say that I am aware that there are some who I have encountered who, in their privilege and ego, believed that they were entitled to me or something from me not because of my pledge or vow, but because of who they perceived themselves to be and how they have been regarded by others. An overestimation of self-posessed characteristics, reputation, or social standing is the beginning of projected privilege in presenting oneself as a "good person." But I have learned that what some people think of themselves entitles them to nothing from me. But because these "good people" fall into their own ego traps, too easily they can get locked into a pattern of doing bad things. 
The story deals with the "good Egyptians," the Pharaoh's Captain, Potiphar, and his spouse. These were not the evil Hyksos of Moses' day. These were the Egyptians who would eventually make a place for God's people during a famine so that they could be saved. These seem redeemable. Potiphar & his wife were of society's upper echelon, politically connected and wealthy, looked up to and esteemed. Enslaved, Joseph occupied a lower rung, serving them, but God blessed the Egyptians for Joseph's sake. Have you thought that maybe America has been prospered for the sake of the oppressed who serve the society and not because of oppressors who think they're good people but are really recipients of good they do not deserve? But like any "good" opressor, all they have is not enough and Potiphar's wife just has to have more. It is not a love story. It is exploitation and class privilege in action. "Good people" indeed can do bad things. 
Look at her: Rich. Cultured. Comfortable. Catered to. Elevated. Esteemed. She has everything she needs but she's wants it all. And so she does bad things. I know she's a horrible person but don't be too harsh. I mean, it's not like she sent or was one of thousands of people in a government insurrection, dismissing a fair election because of her sense of entitlement and privilege. It's not like she sent people to murder government officials who opposed her. She is horrible though, even though she presents herself as a "good person." Later on she told a lie & repeated it. *That's always a clue - repeat liars are not very good people.* 
You likely have already met some of these people who think themselves to be good and deserving of whatever they want, when & how they want it. If you haven't, take a look in the mirror because it's probably you. And this is a message to to everyone, oppressed or oppressor. I'm trying to help privileged and coercive people too. But I want to suggest how to handle so-called "good people" reveling in their privilege & oppressive exploitation. 
1. Keep It Real v9 
- They are privileged demons! Remember who you are! Joseph revealed why he could not. He did not want to offend God. He knew that God had been with him. Has God been with anybody? That's what's real! Joseph said, "You thought I was doing this for you? You're just getting the overflow from me serving God!" Keep it real! 
2. Keep Refusing v10 
- She kept trying day after day. He kept refusing. A devil will not stop. The tricks and deceptions, lures and temptations will only work if a person wants the offer anyway. Keep refusing. Tell those devils you already had a better offer! Anything they offer cannot be a gift and the price is too high to pay! You don't have to go along to get along! Keep refusingď 
3. Keep Running v12 
- She didn't give up. She couldn't overcome his will so she tried to take him by force. Anybody who tries to coerce or force you into something is doing evil, no matter how good they appear to be. Joseph ran. He left the job and he ran! He left the house and he ran! He left his possession - the garment - and he ran! You can't hesitate in getting out of the devil's orbit & out of harm's way! Run and keep running even if you have to leave what you have. If God let you be blessed once, He can do it again!

After the ascension of Jesus to the Father, the 11 remaining of His circle returned to Jerusalem. They did not immediately press into solving the world's problems and issues. They came back. The didn't go out. In troubled times, I suggest to you that before you go and do anything, perhaps you need to pray. The word is how God talks to us. Prayer is us talking to God. And I think that maybe we should take the time to connect with God. Prayer is transformative - it changes us, not necessarily things. Check out some of the prayers we hear like prayers to eliminate Covid? It's still here. Prayer is designed to change us to be used of God, not to change the reality of our circumstances. 
1. Pray In Holiness vv 12-13a 
- The idea of holiness is to be separated from in order to be separated to and/or being separated to such that it may necessarily entail being separated from. The apostles no longer were in the crowd. If you are going to pray deeply sometimes you need to get away from the noise and focus on talking to God! 
2. Pray Honestly v13b 
- The apostolic circle was there. They had been together with Jesus. They prayed together which meant they were on their honor to pray honestly. Prayer partners have great value! If you and your friend were in the same place, heard the same things, saw the same stuff, could you get together in prayer and then lie in your prayers to God? Maybe this is why so many people put so much stock in their private dreams & visions - nobody else was there. But when you talk to God ground your words in reality, not in your fantasy! Be honest! God already knows! 
3. Pray Humbly v14b 
- They were on one accord. The infighting that occasionally characterized their interactions was gone. The text said they continued with one accord. There were no separate agendas. They sought the good of one another. There they humbled themselves to God's plans and the good of the whole. If you are going to do anything for God, humble yourself before God. There is no room for pride!

Over centuries of time the circumstances and challenges of life can and do change. For us, changing conditions are a constant whether we have a progression or a regression. Ironically, the changes in our external existence are the result of our resistance to changing internal paradigms and our predisposed inclinations toward sin. Yes, we all have sinned and come short of the glory of God. So as the unchanged sin nature grips us, we lose hold of our ability to effect righteousness in the world, and the world's conditions tend to degrade - sometimes more than others - and the degradation multiplies in the absence of good godly sense and rghteousness. 
In the text we find that Zechariah is serving but the people of God are oppressed, depressed, and suppressed not only by their sin but by an external empire that restricts their existence. As it was in the ancient days, so it is now: 
- The absence of good governmental sense over centuries has created an oppressive economic disparity in which the rich grow richer and the poor get poorer. 
- The lust for domination and power solidified classism and racism. 
- The desire for dictatorship removed safeguards that alerted us to threats of dangerous diseases. 
- Now, pandemic pestilence has killed and will kill hundreds of thousands. It has also killed the real economy for you and I. 
This has to change. People have said that it would. But it won't change without three factors: Effort, time, and God. 
Zechariah and Elizabeth were faithful unto and judged righteous by God. They had no child, no heir to carry on the family's role in the priesthood. In the text, Zechariah is performing his duties in the temple, offering intercession for the people. The angel Gabriel appeared and told him that he would have a son to make him and others glad & joyful for his son would turn many to the Lord. But the couple was old, beyond "getting pregnant" old. Remember the 3 factors? 
1. Reach Out In Prayer v13 
- Here's where effort comes in. This would not be an immaculate conception. If Elizabeth was to bear a son, then Zechariah and his wife had to get busy. Oh, I don't want to hear about how older people beyond childbearing years aren't interested in making love. Everybody needs to be loved and you need to give your best love to your husband or wife if you have one! It may take some effort but you can do it! You can't love people away from you if you don't love the ones close to you! Why does this become relevant? Zechariah was in the temple praying for the people. But as he prayed for them, God heard his heart! Reach out in prayer. God will hear your prayer for others and grant you what you need! It may not be easy. It may take some effort. But it is your duty! And put some action into play after you pray! 
2. Ready The People vv15-17 
- The 2nd factor is time. It would take at least 9 months for John to be born. But the redemption of the people through Him whom John would preach would take at least 34 years for Calvary was that far away! No big systemic change happens overnight. Even when it starts, it takes time to become effectual. Don't believe anyone who says thing will change right now! But once John got ready & got started, he would ready the people! What will you do to ready the people? 
3. Remember God's Promise vv18-19 
- Zechariah heard Gabriel. But the message was from God. I don't care who the message comes through, you need to hear God. In fact, the "angelos" is a messenger. He doesn't obligate God to anything. It was God's promise! And no matter how long it takes, God will do what He said!
