The Fourth of July is a time to remember those who worked diligently on penning the Declaration of Independence and subsequently laid the foundation for the liberty and freedoms we have today. In our Christian faith, we have those that gave their wealth, health, and - at times - their lives to provide a foundation for our eternal freedom. We need to be the light of Christ to a world that is fearful and losing hope. We need to come together now and make a "declaration of dependence,” not a “declaration of independence.” Christ is the only hope for anyone and for any country! We must do whatever we can to bless America and others with the love of Christ! On this Fourth of July weekend, join me on Sunday as we lift up our eyes and praise God for the greatness and the blessings of living in America. Pastor Paul Berst

It was wonderful to be with you again last Sunday. I always consider it an amazing honor to bring the Word to you and watch your enthusiasm and love for Jesus grow. Thank you for the privilege! This week, we will finish Luke 12 and the discussion about Jesus' challenging and somewhat mysterious words regarding "casting fire upon the earth." I want to finish this portion of Jesus' dialogue and attempt to capture His reasoning in its fullness. Have you ever been tempted to procrastinate regarding spiritual things? I know I am often tempted to put things off. Can you imagine folks doing this at the risk of their eternal destinies? Jesus is going to shock us out of our comfort zones, but all for our own good.

I am excited to be back with you this Sunday! I would also like to thank Pastors Paul Berst and George Garza for working hard in their task of teaching and preaching. Paul's message last week was meaningful. God does, in fact, recycle the empty and the discarded. Watch here if you missed it. This week, we are going to be exploring a controversial statement Jesus made to His disciples about "casting fire upon the earth." What could this possibly mean? Was Jesus an anarchist? Is division ever good? How do we handle these enigmatic statements of the God/man?

Pastor Paul Berst said, "When you are DOWN to nothing...... God is up to something!" As we live this life on earth, we experience joy and sadness, health and sickness, good times and bad times, success and failure. Are we willing to take our current “containers” and have the creator of the universe recycle us for His next purpose? In other words, throughout the stages of our lives, God wants us to recycle our attention, energy, and resources in particular areas to achieve what He has set before us. It may be a special need, purpose, or direction that we can only achieve because of our life experiences. In 2 Corinthians 4:7 Paul claims, “But we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all-surpassing power is from God and not from us.” (NIV) Join me this Sunday as we recognize the treasure within us and answer the question, “Are we going to allow the potter to mold us (recycle us) into all that we were created to be?”

Pastor Paul Berst explores a very important truth - a promise from God’s Word. If you can grasp the power of this promise, your life will never be the same again. In Romans 8:1 it reads, “Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.” There are three questions I want you to think about. Do you believe it? Do you believe there is never a time when you will turn toward God and not find His arms extended, waiting for your return? Do you believe there will never be a time when you step out of the boat and your faith begins to flounder, that if you call upon the name of Jesus Christ, He won’t be there to grab a hold of you? Even with all our scars, with all that is wrong with us, with all the terrible consequences our sin has laid upon us, God still wants us. We are inseparable.

"In all our accomplishments - big or small - our good feelings of security and self-worth are only temporary. Think about what you consider worthwhile in your life - where do you place your time, energy, and money. In the book of John, Jesus gets up after dinner has been served, takes his outer cloak off, gets on his hands and knees with a basin, a jug of water, and a towel. Jesus proceeds to wash the dirty feet of his followers. When he had finished the last disciple’s feet, he was left with a filthy towel and a basin full of muddy water. He then said these words to his disciples, “Do you know what I have done for you?” (John 13:12-17) I don’t think the answer was, “We have clean feet now.” Join me Sunday as we unpack this story and what our Lord and Savior has done for each of us.

"This Sunday we will look at the lives of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego in the book of Daniel. Imagine these three brave men standing before the most powerful man on earth with bold defiance. With one clenched fist they say, “God can rescue us, and we believe He will.” Then the second fist comes up, and they say with equal confidence, “Even if He doesn’t save us, we will not serve your gods.” Essentially, they are saying, “We will trust Him in life, and we will trust Him in death.” That is double-fisted faith! The furnace - that storm in their lives which looked like the end - turned out to be the greatest thing they had ever experienced. It was the place where they met God with hopes to be delivered from the furnace, but God decided to deliver them in the furnace.

"This Sunday, we will conclude this readiness teaching of Jesus by exploring stewardship and worldliness. Through the many years of living here in the desert, I have met some of the most successful and powerful executives in the world - both men and women. Their attention to detail in their respective fields has been staggering. You don't rise to the top of the heap by simply being lucky. You rise by being sensible, vision oriented, and flat out smart. The shocking thing I have discovered is that many of the most incredible stewards of business have given little thought to their spiritual stewardship; the very stewardship given them by their Creator. God doesn't look for any Bitcoin speculators hoping to hit the jackpot. No, He is looking for sensible stewards. Please join us as we explore this Jesus idea.

"This week, we will continue asking the question, ""How do I prepare for His return?"" It involves shining, service, heightened expectations, and a pulling away from the chaos of a turbulent ""seen realm"" focus. Not easy! We need one another for patterning His life in real and visible ways. Need Prayer? http://www.churchatthereddoor.com/prayer-request Did you give your life to Christ or renew your relationship today?
