Mary was a witness to the birth and death of her Son, our Savior  . Mary was favored, the Lord is with her. . “And the angel came to her and said, “Greetings, favored woman! The Lord is with you.”” ‭‭Luke‬ ‭1:28‬ ‭CSB‬‬ . Imagine being a young finance’ planning your wedding and boom this happens. This does not make you feel favored with the type of message.

Let’s talk about the Adulterous Woman    The religious teachers and the Pharisees bring out the woman who had been caught in adultery. They put her in the center.  They requested to know what should be done from Jesus. They were trying to set him up because the law was meant to bring both parties and stone them. If Jesus would have agreed he would have been violating the law.  Jesus answers: “They kept demanding an answer, so he stood up again and said, “All right, but let the one who has never sinned throw the first stone!”” ‭‭John‬ ‭8:7‬ ‭NLT‬‬ They left the scene.  THen Jesus and this woman have an encounter.  “Then Jesus stood up again and said to the woman, “Where are your accusers? Didn’t even one of them condemn you?” “No, Lord,” she said. And Jesus said, “Neither do I. Go and sin no more.” ----------” ‭‭John‬ ‭8:10-11‬ ‭NLT‬‬ . Who can stand up and stay that they have no sin? If so you are a liar.  . Jesus lets her know you are not condemned but don’t do it no more.  . Digest ? ⭐️How many times have y

What do we know about Mary Magdalene:   She was healed by Jesus because she was demon possessed.    “and also some women who had been healed of evil spirits and sicknesses: Mary, called Magdalene (seven demons had come out of her);”‭‭Luke‬ ‭8:2‬ ‭CSB‬‬    She supported the work of Christ    “Afterward he was traveling from one town and village to another, preaching and telling the good news of the kingdom of God. The Twelve were with him,” ‭‭Luke‬ ‭8:1‬ ‭CSB‬   She was at the cross when Jesus was killed    “Many women who had followed Jesus from Galilee and looked after him were there, watching from a distance. Among them were Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James and Joseph, and the mother of Zebedee’s sons.” ‭‭Matthew‬ ‭27:55-56‬ ‭CSB‬‬ She saw Jesus laid in the tomb    “Mary Magdalene and the other Mary were seated there, facing the tomb.” ‭‭Matthew‬ ‭27:61‬ ‭CSB‬‬   She was the first to experience the resurrection    “Early on the first day of the week, after he had risen, he appeared first

Tamar Genesis 38   Two husbands died...took matter in her own hands by sleeping with her father in law to preserve family. .   Two looks: outfit of the day She took of her widow clothes for a moment to become like a prostitute And then she put the back on went back to the widow look . “So she took off her widow’s clothes, veiled her face, covered herself, and sat at the entrance to Enaim, which is on the way to Timnah. For she saw that, though Shelah had grown up, she had not been given to him as a wife.” ‭‭Genesis‬ ‭38:14‬ ‭CSB‬‬ . Two babies: Prez & Zerah . “Judah fathered Perez and Zerah by Tamar, Perez fathered Hezron, Hezron fathered Aram,” ‭‭Matthew‬ ‭1:3‬ ‭CSB‬‬   Two Truths from the story of Tamar: God will turn things around from His good. Because of Tamar she had a son named Perez and Perez in the genealogy of Jesus Christ.  When Tamar was plotting, she probably didn’t realize she was doing kingdom work. God doesn’t accept sin or condone sinful situations but He uses them. Tamar should not have

“While they were traveling, he entered a village, and a woman named Martha welcomed him into her home. She had a sister named Mary, who also sat at the Lord’s feet and was listening to what he said. But Martha was distracted by her many tasks, and she came up and asked, “Lord, don’t you care that my sister has left me to serve alone? So tell her to give me a hand.” The Lord answered her, “Martha, Martha, you are worried and upset about many things, but one thing is necessary. Mary has made the right choice, and it will not be taken away from her.”” ‭‭Luke‬ ‭10:38-42‬ ‭CSB‬‬ . If Jesus was on the way to your house what would you be doing? Mary was in position. She was ready to hear from Jesus. She was focused on Him. She was listening. . Martha was serving but distracted. She was multitasking. As women, we are the queens of multitasking  . Martha was actually doing a good thing by preparing for Jesus. We can be actually doing great things for Jesus and still be distracted from Jesus.  . He wants to serve, but

““At last!” the man exclaimed. “This one is bone from my bone, and flesh from my flesh! She will be called ‘woman,’ because she was taken from ‘man.’”” ‭‭Genesis‬ ‭2:23‬ ‭NLT‬‬ . Eve (1st women in the world, the mother of us all) Equal image bearer of God Helper to Adam Cheated on God’s blessings  . We are like her in so many ways. We cheat on God’s blessings for Satan’s messes.  We focus on what we don’t have instead of what we do have. She was only missing fruit from one tree.  She blamed others for her sin.  . She was created by God to be Adam’s helper. She was taken from his rib.God took his time with the woman. Adam was dirt with breath. We were taken out of flesh and bone. She was different. She was a part of him(Adam). . Adam gave life to Eve. But Eve gave life to the world. She is at the top of the world’s family tree.  . God knew that Adam couldn’t be alone. The first Christian mingle. God brings her to Adam. (Verse 22) .  Just because she was called the helper doesn’t mean she was the “help”.Not a

Acts 17:11 (CSB) The people here were of more noble character than those in Thessalonica, since they received the word with eagerness and examined the Scriptures daily to see if these things were so.   To see if Paul and Silas were teaching the truth . NLT    V12 As a result, many believed.    They were ready to hear the Word. There minds were opened  They searched it daily for themselves to seek out the truth. They didn’t just accept the man (Paul) word. They looked for themselves.  They wanted to see if he was delivering the message of facts and not fluff . They did it DAILY! To find out!

“Therefore, since Christ suffered in the flesh, arm yourselves also with the same understanding — because the one who suffers in the flesh is finished with sin — in order to live the remaining time in the flesh no longer for human desires, but for God’s will. For there has already been enough time spent in doing what the Gentiles choose to do: carrying on in unrestrained behavior, evil desires, drunkenness, orgies, carousing, and lawless idolatry. They are surprised that you don’t join them in the same flood of wild living — and they slander you. They will give an account to the one who stands ready to judge the living and the dead. For this reason the gospel was also preached to those who are now dead, so that, although they might be judged in the flesh according to human standards, they might live in the spirit according to God’s standards.” ‭‭1 Peter‬ ‭4:1-6‬ ‭CSB‬‬ The remaining time of your left is all you have left!

Leaving the thoughts that don’t line up with God's purpose.   If we are thinking negative thoughts, defeating thoughts,  We are thinking like the natural man the only way to change the thought is thru the spirit. The Holy Spirit is given as a helper after you are in Christ.   “For WHO HAS KNOWN THE MIND and PURPOSES OF THE LORD, SO AS TO INSTRUCT H IM?

    Culture offers us many opinions but we must choose not to imitate. If we agree with the things that are against the word and the will of God. How can we be of Christ?   It’s obvious that we conform to something  Conform.. to conform one's self (i.e. one's mind and character) to another's pattern, (fashion one's self according to) We copy the pattern of either the Word of the World Conforming to culture requires imitation  Conforming to Christ offers transformation Conforming to culture leaves us empty  Conforming to a Christ leaves you empowered   “Stop imitating the ideals and opinions of the culture around you, but be inwardly transformed by the Holy Spirit through a total reformation of how you think.

Why are some black millennials not going to church ? Why is black church full of rules and stigmas?  Why do we cause division over domination and the race and style of your pastor?  We focus on the following of man vs the following of the Word.   I can wear whatever I want to church and still praise Him.  I don’t need on a suit, pantyhose, and hat to qualify to be in the house of the Lord That’s why young people don’t want to come to church because some of them are wounded by man-made traditions passed down.  “Don’t let anyone capture you with empty philosophies and high-sounding nonsense that come from human thinking and from the spiritual powers of this world, rather than from Christ.” ‭‭Colossians‬ ‭2:8‬ ‭NLT‬‬ Let’s pass the true gospel down.  “You were dead because of your sins and because your sinful nature was not yet cut away.

“But God showed his great love for us by sending Christ to die for us while we were still sinners.” ‭‭Romans‬ ‭5:8‬ ‭NLT‬‬ God didn’t wait for me and you to get it together sis.

It was His love that saved us. Not anything that we could do or couldn’t do to keep his love from acting on our behalf. He took our place. You need proof God loves you. Look at the Christ sis.
