In the introduction I referred to President Obama's recent announcement of his change of mind regarding same sex marriages and his reason for his change being the thoughts and feelings of his wife and children. The message picks up at Judges 17:6 where it says, "...everyone did what was right in his own eyes." In contrast Jesus lived by "every word that comes from the mouth of God." (Matthew 4:4) The only way for all people of every language tongue tribe and nation to live together is for each person to surrender in faith to Jesus Christ. Only Jesus can recreate "one new man" (Ephesians 2:14-16). We are broken people, broken by sin and death, only Jesus Christ can raise us up to a life of unity.

Moses pictures the law of God--His Holy Righteous Justice. Joshua, the Hebrew form of the name Jesus pictures the coming of Jesus who leads the church into the promised land of the church here on earth living in the victory of Jesus until He comes again and the whole church becomes the church triumphant reigning with Christ for all eternity. While the law is good and right it cannot save us only Jesus can and He has so that we can now live in His victory.

We are to love the Lord our God with all our heart, soul, mind, and strength. This command is impossible for us to fulfill. So are we lost eternally? No, the good news is that Jesus Christ loved Abba Father perfectly with all His heart, soul, mind, and strength and when by the power of the Holy Spirit we are born again and believe in the Lord Jesus Christ then in Him we too love the Lord our God perfectly. Jesus fulfills all things perfectly and we fulfill all things as we abide in Him.

His presence was to be received by faith and the people of Israel were not to cower before the giants in the promised land, but they were to trust Him and His presence for the victory. You and I face giants. Economic giants; health giants; employment giants; depression giants; these are just a few of the giants we face in life. God's presence is His power for us. We stand strong in the resurrection of Christ and face our giants in the presence of God with us. Have a great week in the presence of God who is with us always.

The book "Leadership and Self-Deception" by the Arbinger Institute is helpful in understanding how we deceive ourselves. The Gospel of God's restoration in Jesus Christ takes us beyond overcoming self-deception into supernatural living in the power of the Holy Spirit.  Rich Mohr Sun, 12 Feb 2012 15:30:00 GMT f1397696-738c-4295-afcd-943feb885714:5803 http://www.coslcs.org/Church/SermonAudio/tabid/2682/articleType/ArticleView/articleId/5780/language/en-US/Genesis-12-25-Isaiah-4021-31-Psalm-1471-11-1-Corinthians-916-27-Mark-129-39-Wait-On-The-Lord.aspx#Comments 0 http://www.coslcs.org/DesktopModules/DnnForge%20-%20NewsArticles/RssComments.aspx?TabID=2682&ModuleID=2174&ArticleID=5780 http://www.coslcs.org/DesktopModules/DnnForge%20-%20NewsArticles/Tracking/Trackback.aspx?ArticleID=5780&PortalID=4&TabID=2682 http://www.coslcs.org/Portals/COS/media/2012/020512.mp3 Abraham had to learn to wait on the Lord as God fulfilled His covenant promises. When he was not waiting on the Lord he tried his own ways and that didn't work out very well. But God is faithful even when we are not. As we learn to wait on the Lord we live and serve in the power of His strength and we are renewed. When we live in our own power we are drained.

We are even willing to call God a liar rather than face our own brokenness. Jesus came as the perfect prophet promised in Deuteronomy. He is the way out of the prison of the evil heart and the way into fearless intimacy with God.

But God tells us over and over again that He is never against us in Christ He is always for us and with us especially in adversity.

Only God has words of life, other voices, other words bring death. God and His Word brings life. We need to learn to hear and follow the voice of God to have abundant life in Jesus.

Then her life was turned upside down by the announcement of the angel that she would become pregnant by the Holy Spirit of God and give birth to the Son of God who was now coming as man to dwell among us. She had to RECEVE this revelation. REPENT of her desires to do things her way so that she would follow God's way. RELY on the promises of God as she would have to deal with being branded as an adulterous woman, made to travel to Bethlehem while 9 months pregnant, and for protection of her son, flee with Joseph to Egypt. Her life was turned upside down. But she had everything she needed in her son, Jesus. This allowed her to REPACK, removing her dreams and plans and replacing them with God's plan. We have Mary's example to help us to REACH others with the saving message of having everything only in Jesus.

The light at the end of the tunnel is the glorious return of Jesus at the end of the age. In the tunnel there is trouble (John 14:6) but we are to have no fear because Jesus has overcome the tunnel of this world and we are in Him and He is in us. So, not only is He the light at the end of the tunnel, He is the light in the tunnel. Have a blessed week in the Lord.

There is light at the end of the tunnel in the certain promise of the return of Jesus in glory and power. God comforts us as we receive His self-revelation as eternal God. When we receive this truth about God we must repent of the unbelief that causes us to live with a shortsighted view of life and our troubles. True repentance leads to us relying on the promises of God and the return of Christ making our troubles light and momentary in comparison to the glory to be revealed at Christ's return. Empowered by the promises of Christ's return we repack our lives with the holiness of Christ reaching in and out so that we are made more certain through the sharing of Christ and helping others carry their burdens.

He reveals Himself clearly in the Holy Gospel, Holy Baptism, and Holy Communion all of which flow from the Word made flesh to dwell among us, Jesus Christ the divine Son. We are to get rid of everything that hinders us from following Jesus. We do this by dying to self through RECEIVING what God reveals; REPENTING of all distractions and sins which hinder us; RELYING on the promises of God in Christ Jesus; REPACKING our lives removing fear and worry, pride and arrogance, and packing in grace abundant in Christ; and REACHING IN and OUT to help others come to the freedom of Jesus. Blessings in Christ!

To believe is to obey and to obey is to believe. This is the daily preparation for His return that leads to contentment. Christians are content because cares for us as a Shepherd cares for his sheep. Ezekiel 34 is the key passage which shows us the many ways that God cares for us. The abundant life is lived in Christ when each day we receive His care and live a day at a time trusting and obeying our Good Shepherd.

John 17:3 declares that this is eternal life--to know God--intimately through Christ Jesus. When we go through life we are tempted to see that God is with us only when things are going the way that we want, but Isaiah 45:7 declares that God is Lord of all there is no other. He is Almighty. This is good news because it means that He is with us in both the good times and in the times that we call bad. May this message bless your life to receive God as He reveals Himself, to repent, to rely on His promises, to repack your life with the truth and to reach out to other burdened people to help them come to fearless intimacy with God.

God is a communicator. He is always communicating so that we would receive His communication and live in relationship with Him which was His intention when He created us. Only by living in a receiving relationship with God do we have life and have it abundantly. This life is our through Jesus Christ who is the only way, truth, and life.

To do this we have to RECEIVE what He REVEALS about Himself; REPENT of our own way of doing things and turning to His way because He FORGAVE our sins. He PROMISES His presence with us and every other blessing that we need to live a burdened free life and we need to RELY on His promises. This frees us to REPACK our lives throwing out the garbage of the past and PACKING the Christ centered life. As we REACH IN and REACH OUT  we show the fruit of His presence. This is a daily process that Paul models in his own life as he tells the Christians who lived in Philippi.

What God reveals we are to RECEIVE. Where we are not receiving and surrendering to God's authority we need to REPENT with the assurance that God forgives our sins. God's promises lead us to RELY on Him. Because God empowers us we can REPACK our lives removing idolatry, lust, greed, injustice, self-righteousness and PACKING with allegiance to the Triune God alone, love, generosity, just humility, and Christ's Righteousness. This empowers us to reach out and bear one another's burdens.

God REVEALS, we RECEIVE what He tells us. God has FORGIVEN us, we REPENT. God has given us PROMISES to live by, we RELY or REST in His promises. God gives us ABUNDANT LIFE, we REPACK our baggage taking out the dirty laundry of sin and death and putting in the life of Christ. God REACHED OUT to us, we REACH OUT to those who know Him in Christ and those who do not. This is what it means to Seek The Lord.   Rich Mohr Sun, 18 Sep 2011 14:30:00 GMT f1397696-738c-4295-afcd-943feb885714:5517 http://www.coslcs.org/Church/SermonAudio/tabid/2682/articleType/ArticleView/articleId/5504/language/en-US/Genesis-5015-21-Psalm-1031-12-Romans-141-12-Matthew-1821-35-Live-As-Forgiven-People-Who-Forgive.aspx#Comments 0 http://www.coslcs.org/DesktopModules/DnnForge%20-%20NewsArticles/RssComments.aspx?TabID=2682&ModuleID=2174&ArticleID=5504 http://www.coslcs.org/DesktopModules/DnnForge%20-%20NewsArticles/Tracking/Trackback.aspx?ArticleID=5504&PortalID=4&TabID=2682 http://www.coslcs.org/Portals/COS/media/2011/091111_Genesis50_15-21_Psalm103_1-13_Romans14_1-12_Matthew18_21-35.mp3 From the Old Testament character, Joseph, we learn how to forgive even those who have hurt us as deeply as Joseph's brothers had hurt him. Forgiveness is God's grace gift to us that empowers us to live in the freedom of forgiving as we have been forgiven. To withhold forgiveness puts stress on our bodies, our minds and our spirit. Jesus calls us to live in His freedom and life.   Rich Mohr Sun, 11 Sep 2011 14:30:00 GMT f1397696-738c-4295-afcd-943feb885714:5504
