Sermon Notes The stark reality for all of us is we are likely to turn out like our parents.  Genesis 4:15-16 NIV "But the Lord said to him, 'Not so; anyone who kills Cain will suffer vengeance seven times over.' Then the Lord put a mark on Cain so that no one who found him would kill him. So Cain went out from the Lord’s presence and lived in the land of Nod, east of Eden."  Genesis 4:23-24 NIV "Lamech said to his wives, 'Adah and Zillah, listen to me; wives of Lamech, hear my words. I have killed a man for wounding me, a young man for injuring me. If Cain is avenged seven times, then Lamech seventy-seven times.'"  The stark reality for all of us is we are likely to turn out like our parents, but we don’t have to.  Ezekiel 18:3-4 NIV "As surely as I live, declares the Sovereign Lord, you will no longer quote this proverb in Israel. For everyone belongs to me, the parent as well as the child—both alike belong to me. The one who sins is the one

She said, “With the help of the Lord I have brought forth a man.” Later she gave birth to his brother Abel.” - Genesis 4:1-2 NIV  “Now Abel kept flocks, and Cain worked the soil. In the course of time Cain brought some of the fruits of the soil as an offering to the Lord. And Abel also brought an offering—fat portions from some of the firstborn of his flock. The Lord looked with favor on Abel and his offering, but on Cain and his offering he did not look with favor.” - Genesis 4:2-5 NIV “So Cain was very angry, and his face was downcast.” - Genesis 4:5 NIV  “Then the Lord said to Cain, ‘Why are you angry? Why is your face downcast? If you do

Sermon Notes Hebrews 11:1-2 NIV "Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see. This is what the ancients were commended for."  Hebrews 11:3 NIV "By faith, we understand that the universe was formed at God’s command so that what is seen was not made out of what was visible."  Genesis 1:1 NIV  "In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth."  "According to the Scriptures, creation is a gift from a loving Creator God. From the bodies we inhabit, the air we breathe, the sun we bask in, the food we eat, the flowers we pick, the water we drink, the ground we walk upon, and the pets we love, to the pleasures we enjoy and destinations we visit on vacation, life is filled with good gifts for us to steward and enjoy." – Doctrine, Mark Driscoll and Gary Breshears First: The Bible is true in every way. 2 Timothy 3:16-17 NIV "All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, corr

Sermon Notes Psalms 1:1 NIV "Blessed is the one who does not walk in step with the wicked or stand in the way that sinners take or sit in the company of mockers,"  Psalms 1:2 NIV "but whose delight is in the law of the Lord, and who meditates on his law day and night."  Psalms 1:3 NIV "That person is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither— whatever they do prospers."  Psalms 1:4 NIV "Not so the wicked!

Sermon Notes Even if the worst happens, can you trust God?  Psalms 22:1-2 NIV  "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me? Why are you so far from saving me, so far from my cries of anguish? My God, I cry out by day, but you do not answer, by night, but I find no rest."  Mark 15:34 NIV "And at three in the afternoon, Jesus cried out in a loud voice, 'Eloi, Eloi, lema sabachthani?' (which means 'My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?')."  Psalms 22:6-8 NIV "But I am a worm and not a man, scorned by everyone, despised by the people. All who see me mock me; they hurl insults, shaking their heads. 'He trusts in the Lord,' they say, 'let the Lord rescue him. Let him deliver him, since he delights in him.'"  Matthew 27:39-44 NIV "Those who passed by hurled insults at him, shaking their heads and saying, 'You who are going to destroy the temple and build it in three days, save yourself! Come down from the cross, if you are the Son of God!' In the sam

 Sermon Notes The crazier this world gets, the louder the righteous sing!  Psalms 33:1-3 NIV "Sing joyfully to the Lord, you righteous; it is fitting for the upright to praise him. Praise the Lord with the harp; make music to him on the ten-stringed lyre. Sing to him a new song; play skillfully, and shout for joy."  Praise God for who He is: Psalms 33:4-5 NIV "For the word of the Lord is right and true; he is faithful in all he does. The Lord loves righteousness and justice; the earth is full of his unfailing love." Praise God as the Creator of all: Psalms 33:6-9 NIV "By the word of the Lord the heavens were made, their starry host by the breath of his mouth. He gathers the waters of the sea into jars; he puts the deep into storehouses. Let all the earth fear the Lord; let all the people of the world revere him. For he spoke, and it came to be; he commanded, and it stood firm." Praise God for His Sovereignty: Psalms 33:10-11 NIV "The Lord foils the plans

Sermon Notes For the director of music. A psalm of David. When the prophet Nathan came to him after David had committed adultery with Bathsheba.  2 Samuel 12:13 NIV "Then David said to Nathan, 'I have sinned against the Lord.'

You are not going to die.'"  God can take our tragedies and turn them into triumphs.  Psalms 51:1-2 NIV "Have mercy on me, O God, according to your unfailing love; according to your great compassion blot out my transgressions.

Sermon Notes Everything worth fighting for unbalances your life.  Psalms 127:1 NIV "Unless the Lord builds the house, the builders labor in vain.

"Attention is the beginning of devotion." - John Mark Comer, The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry  Matthew 6:25 NIV "Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes?"  Matthew 6:31-32 NIV "So do not worry, saying, 'What shall we eat?' or 'What shall we drink?' or 'What shall we wear?' For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them."  Matthew 6:33 NIV "But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well."  Is God first in my life?   Psalms 127:2 NIV "In vain you rise early and stay u

Torrey, How to Pray John 11:41-42 NIV "So they took away the stone. Then Jesus looke

Sermon Notes Fear in the mind creates stress in the body. Stress in the body creates the need for control. "Fear never wrote a symphony or poem, negotiated a peace treaty, or cured a disease. Fear never pulled a family out of poverty or a country out of bigotry. Fear never saved a marriage or a business. Courage did that. Faith did that. People who refused to consult or cower to their timidities did that. But fear itself? Fear herds us into a prison and slams the doors… Wouldn’t it be great to walk out?" – Max Lucado, Fearless: Imagine Your Life without Fear  “A Psalm of David, regarding the time he pretended to be insane in front of Abimelech, who sent him away”  1 Samuel 21:10-15 NIV "That day David fled from Saul and went to Achish king of Gath. But the servants of Achish said to him, 'Isn’t this David, the king of the land? Isn’t he the one they sing about in their dances: Saul has slain his thousands, and David his tens of thousands?' David

Sermon Notes How many years do you want to be married? What does love require of me?  John 13:34 NIV "A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another."  When you’re not sure what to say or do you love people like Jesus loved you. John 13:35 NIV "By this everyone will know that you are my disciples if you love one another."  1 Corinthians 13:1 NIV "If I speak in the tongues of men or of angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal."  1 Corinthians 13:2 NIV "If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing." (Better translated, "I’m a nobody.") 1 Corinthians 13:3 NIV "If I give all I possess to the poor and give over my body to hardship that I may boast, but do not have love, I gain nothing." 1 Corinthians 13:4 NIV "Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is no

Sermon Notes John 11:44-45 NIV "The dead man came out, his hands and feet wrapped with strips of linen, and a cloth around his face. Jesus said to them, 'Take off the grave clothes and let him go.'" Jesus Gave Lazarus Life...  "The greatest spiritual question we can ask ourselves is not, 'Is there life after death?' The real question is much deeper: 'Is there life before death?'" -  Stephen W. Smith, The Lazarus Life  Romans 8:11 NLT "The Spirit of God, who raised Jesus from the dead, lives in you." New Life Power – Transformational Power – Lives in us! John 12:1-11 NIV "Six days before the Passover, Jesus came to Bethany, where Lazarus lived, whom Jesus had raised from the dead. Here a dinner was given in Jesus’ honor. Martha served, while Lazarus was among those reclining at the table with him. Then Mary took about a pint of pure nard, an expensive perfume; she poured it on Jesus’ feet and wiped his feet with her hair. And the house was filled with the fragrance

Sermon Notes John 11:1-3 NIV "Now, a man named Lazarus was sick. He was from Bethany, the village of Mary, and her sister Martha. (This Mary, whose brother Lazarus now lay sick, was the same one 5who poured perfume on the Lord and wiped his feet with her hair.) So the sisters sent word to Jesus, 'Lord, the one you love is sick.'" John 11:41-42 NIV "So they took away the stone. Then Jesus looked up and said, 'Father, I thank you that you have heard me. I knew that you always hear me, but I said this for the benefit of the people standing here, that they may believe that you sent me.'" John 11:43-44a NIV "When he had said this, Jesus called in a loud voice, 'Lazarus, come out!' The dead man came out, his hands and feet wrapped with strips of linen and a cloth around his face." John 11:44b NIV "Jesus said to them, 'Take off the grave clothes and let him go.'" It takes a community to strip us of our grave clothes. Philippians 2:1-3 NIV "Therefore, if you have any
