Genesis 15:1-6; Hebrews 11:1-16; Luke 12:22-34 “What is your hearts treasure?”
Rich Mohr - August 08, 2010 09:30 :: 150 Views 
In a poll conducted by George Barna Jesus was described as: wise, accepting, compassionate, gracious, humble. Christians were described as: critical, exclusive, self-righteous, narrow, repressive. Why the difference? Jesus treasured Abba Father in His heart so he could say, "If you have seen me you have seen the Father." Abba Father is wise, accepting, compassionate, gracious, humble and so is Jesus. What are you treasuring in your heart? If you treasure Abba Father you will be able to control anxiety and worry and you will live with manageable fear. What a great life God has for us. We can admit and face our brokenness because Jesus who was broken for us on the cross rose from the dead to set us free to live treasuring Abba Father.

Isaiah 66:10-14; Galatians 6:1-10, 14-18; Luke 10:1-20 "Living A Balanced Life"
Rich Mohr - July 04, 2010 09:30 :: 148 Views 
Jesus lived His life in a balance between being with His Father and being nurtured by Him and serving people. This is the balanced life that we also are to live within. In Isaiah 66 we are told that God is ready to nurture us as a mother nurtures the child in her lap. In Luke 10 we see that when this balance is overlooked, the spectacular can become the focus of life rather than the fact that in Christ our names are written in heaven. Galatians 6 helps us put it all together as we live in relationship with one another helping each other while taking personal responsibility for our own actions.

1 Kings 19:9-21; Galatians 5:1, 13-25; Luke 9:51-62 "Freedom in Christ"
Rich Mohr - June 27, 2010 09:30 :: 214 Views 
Freedom in Christ is freedom from the slavery to fear and a freedom to live as one in whom God dwells. Elijah saw a mighty victory in 1 Kings, but submitted again to slavery to fear. In Luke 9, the Samaritans and some possible disciples chose to submit to their old life through their fear to be with God and allow God to be with them. This is what Paul was concerned about for the Galatian Christians and why he teaches them to live in fellowship with Christ and Christ with them. This is perfect freedom.

Isaiah 65:1-9; Galatians 3:23-4:7; Luke 8:26-39 "God is self-sacrificing"
Rich Mohr - June 20, 2010 09:30 :: 151 Views
What does it mean to be a Christian Father, Mother, Son or Daughter? Many times we hear messages on Father's Day that are something like "Five Ways to be a Better Father". While practical help is good, the fact is that if we could help ourselves we would not need Jesus. We are corrupt and depraved by nature and only Jesus Christ can set us free by His self-sacrifice and through His resurrection life in us we are empowered to live a life of self-sacrifice that will result in being the kind of Father, Mother, Son, or Daughter that God has designed us to be.

2 Samuel 11:26-12:10, 13-14; Galatians 2:15-21, 3:10-14; Luke 7:36-8:3 "Let's Talk About Death and Life"
Rich Mohr - June 13, 2010 09:30 :: 172 Views
Because of Jesus dying for us and rising again death has been robed of its sting so that the way of life, real life is through death. Paul talks about a daily dying to self in the Galatians reading. King David shows us that when dying to self does not happen then lust and greed takes over in the reading from 2 Samuel. God is holy and His wrath is directed against sin to remove it and to purify His people. God has wrath toward sin because sin destroys God's people as David realized. In the Luke reading we see the two lives set side by side. The Pharisee Simon is not dead to self. He is self-centered and judgmental. The woman is dead to self and alive to the love of God for her and working through her. This is the best possible life that there is for you and me.

1 Kings 17:17-24; Galatians 1:11-24; Luke 7:11-17 "Seeing Abba Father"
Rich Mohr - June 06, 2010 09:30 :: 149 Views
In 1 Kings 17, a woman who was a widow and her son had been miraculously sustained by God day after day as He provided the ingredients for bread to feed them and the prophet, Elijah. Yet when illness struck her son and he died she concluded that God was against her, was keeping a record of her sins, and was punishing her for them. She had a false narrative about God. God as revealed in His Son, Jesus, is for us, does not keep a record of wrongs, sent His own Son who willing took the punishment for sin on Himself. May you live this week in the unconditional love of God in Christ Jesus.

Genesis 11:1-9, Acts 2:1-21, John 14:23-31 "PERFECT PEACE"
Rich Mohr - May 23, 2010 09:30 :: 157 Views
With the coming of the Holy Spirit on the first Pentecost and to all believers since then with their Baptism into Christ Jesus, the dwelling of God is with His people, the church. It is in this relationship that we have peace that life's circumstances cannot take from us. We have Perfect Peace as the message for Sunday 5/23 was titled. There is no peace in the world. For all the talk there as only been a few 100 years of the absence of war in all of recorded history. But if you know Jesus as your Savior and are Baptized into Him you have His peace which transcends all understanding.

Acts 1:12-26; Revelation 22; John 17:20-26 "Perfect Unity"
Rich Mohr - May 16, 2010 09:30 :: 148 Views
In the prayer Jesus prays just before his capture, trial, crucifixion you would expect that the focus would be on the ordeal that he was facing, but instead in John 17:20-26, Jesus is praying for you and me. We are the people who believe because of the witness of the Apostles. His prayer is that we would have the same kind of unity that exists within the Holy Trinity. This is perfect unity. In a Christian marriage it calls for both the man and the woman to humble themselves before God so that focused on being like him they discover that they are united with one another. This is our witness to the world that Jesus is the Savior. May our witness be to the nature of God and His saving work in Jesus.
