    Today's story is founding II Chronicles 20. I recommend you give that short chapter a read. Jehoshaphat and Judah teach us a great deal about how God responds to faith. But faith is more than just a word. It includes initial turning to God, casting our eyes upon Him, and obeying His will. What it does not require is our own strength to prove ourselves to Him. On the contrary, time and time again, God proves Himself to His people. He is our amazing God, worthy of worship and adoration. He fights our battles. He often just asks us to show up and be prepared. But we must keep the faith until the end. Let's explore that journey together.

    Authority is a funny thing. The best leaders are honest about their struggles and challenges. They are great listeners, especially in the process of making decisions. And they are excellent examples to those under their charge in key areas like humility, integrity, and care for others.

    However, not all leaders do such a great job. They are pretty good at giving instruction, and expecting all of the things from the previous paragraph. But we need to do better. Husbands, fathers, this one is for you. It would be easy to tell our kids to take instruction well and be challenged to do their best. But do you take instruction well? Do you need the encouragement to refocus and do your best? Follow along today and see if there is more value in those things than meets the eye.

    What's it going to be? What is that one thing it is time to change? You don't have to know the how at the moment. You simply need to visualize a better version of you one year from today. Then you must decide, now, that today starts a 12 month, unstoppable journey. The rest will work itself out!

    Does a year sound like a long time? We both know it is not. Years fly by! If we aren't intentional about them they glob together and blur by. But if you can take a year and address something whole heartedly... something incredible is going to happen. Let's talk about what that will look like for you!

    We read through John 1 as our sample text today. Here is that content:

    Recap:
    John’s gospel starts “in the beginning.” Jesus was the Word in heaven who made all things. After creation, He becomes the Light from heaven to illuminate our hearts. Jesus is the grace of God revealed to bring the Father’s favor. He is the Lamb of God who would die to “take away the sins of the world.” He is the Christ prophesied in the Old Testament. Jesus Christ is the greatest gift man has ever been given. John the Baptist proclaims Jesus as the Son of God, saying he has seen the Spirit fall on Him and that Jesus will be the One who baptizes others in the Holy Spirit. Jesus then begins his public ministry by calling into service four men from Galilee: Peter, Andrew, Philip, and Nathanael.

    Application:
    Most scholars contend that John’s Letter is the last inspired Gospel. He brings a different perspective and unique details to Christ’s ministry. The central point of his letter is belief. We must believe Jesus is the Creator. We must embrace Him as God’s Light and grace, and as the sacrificial Lamb sent to save us from our sins. The evidence from John the Baptist, the Old Testament prophets, and the Holy Spirit falling on Him testify to Christ’s identity. We must see Him as Nathanael did: with amazement and humility. Starting with simple trusting faith, Jesus takes Nathanael on an incredible journey and shows him many wonderful things. He will do likewise in our lives if we choose to follow Him.

    Prayer:
    Glorious Father, we praise Your Name for Your beautiful grace. Thank You for taking all the blessings You seek to give us and placing them in Your Son. If we will pursue Him, loving and obeying Him, we will be forgiven and saved forever. Great God, we ask you to take us on a journey like the four men who followed Jesus. Overwhelm us with Christ’s glory. Then take us places we have never been, show us things we cannot imagine, and use us
    in ways we never thought possible. Lord, we believe. Show us ” how to follow Jesus.

    Thought Questions:
    Is Jesus your Creator? Is He God’s greatest gift to bring grace and hope into your life? Why are those questions important?

    John the Baptist was a great prophet, but he always redirected glory to Jesus. How do you direct all glory to Christ?

    If Jesus showed up today and said, “Follow Me”, would you go? How is He already calling you to do that in your life?

    Well, it just doesn't get much better than this. In fact, outside of Scripture, I think this 1936 book by Dale Carnegie is the most helpful thing someone could read to improve their life. Our lives are composed of relationships. When those relationships are healthy, there is love and peace and things are amazing. When our relationships are damaged, we feel it deeply and in every aspect of life.

    Over the next several weeks, I hope to present several episodes from this great book. Today we start with three opening ideas that set the tone. They ask you to consider your attitude, your mindset, and how you see people. When this becomes more Christ-like and humble, a whole bunch of good outcomes become possible. Follow along with me as we look at criticism, compliments, and seeing things from the perspective of others.

    Here are the 8 Essentials to Strengthening Your Faith:
    1) Join God's Team (understanding you are a part of a group)
    2) Acknowledge God's Power (He is almighty and always with you)
    3) Embrace Spiritual Training (This takes worth and it is so worth it!)
    4) Communicate with God (Start your day with God, stay close with Him)

    5) Study God's Playbook (Read to learn, to understand, to follow the plan)
    6) Team Up with Others (Be a walker with warriors, watchmen and workmen)
    7) Know Your Role (Be specific. What is your role right now among Christians?)
    8) Share with Others (Nothing will help grow faster than preparing to teach)

    Remember: Engage, Equip, and Engage.
    This is for students, to help them get strong and to be leaders today.
    This is for parents, trying to engage their kids in the world of Jesus.
    This is for adults, who can sometimes lose their passion for the plan of God.

    Here is some information on "The Core: 8 Essentials to Strengthening Your Faith"

    Three Objectives regarding the Truth of Jesus Christ:
    1) Engage - Get young people, and all people, thinking about spiritual things. Let's challenge our spiritual health and get involved in forming a direction.
    2) Equip - We need to get into how to do better. What do we need to know, plan, and refine in order to be able to get closer to Christ and spread Truth.
    3) Engage - The mission isn't just to be saved. The mission is to share the salvation of Jesus Christ with others! How do engage younger believers in this work?

    In this episode we begin with four Crucial Steps to building a stronger faith core within our young people, and within us all.
    1 - Join God's Team (what is the team element of faith?)
    2 - Acknowledge God's Power (is He mighty to save and help you?)
    3 - Embrace Spiritual Training (how specifically are you getting stronger?)
    4 - Communicate with God (take all we learn today to God in prayer, honestly)

    Hilltops of Glory

    Verse 1: Onward rejoicing I tread life’s way, Higher I’m climbing each passing day; Hilltops of Glory now rise in view, where all shall be made new.

    Verse 2: Way down in Egypt mid burning sand, Moses has started for Canaan’s land; Never turn backward always ascend on to the journey’s end.

    Verse 3: Footsteps of Jesus before us lead, We tread life’s journey, His warnings heed; Evil allurements cannot prevail, I’m on the upward trail.

    Chorus: Hilltops of glory I now can see. O brother won’t you come go with me? Safe on the mountain I soon shall stand Hilltops of glory land.

    What keeps people from the faithful trail?
    - Lack of Understanding
    - Fear of Loss/Failure
    - Perceived Shortage of Resources

    And what habits benefit people in their walk with God?
    - Start Early
    - Be Consistent
    - Don't Panic!

    Shia LaBeouf has had a troubled past. He is still not aware of the fullness of God's saving grace in Christ. But he is on a journey that started with a dramatic turn. This turn is needed in the lives of many, even among our own fellowship. In some ways, abandoning my managerial skills to give God control, is something I need to renew and commit to as well. Maybe we can encourage one another.

    Here is the section from his interview:

    My opinion about God before my world had crumbled was – art, love and God – they all mean the same thing, they are synonymous.

    And I had also been told my whole life, your life is your life, you have to make with it what you can, you know. You’ve got to be a good guy, and then you got to get married, then you have to get a house and you have to get a job, and be good at your job – and like – your life is your life. And things will work out if you put the effort in, and I always really felt that.

    And it made it hard to believe in God, because it felt like my managerial skills are what are going to amount to a fulfilled existence. When all of my designs failed, when all of my plans went out the window, when my life had led to serious infliction of pain and damage to other people – I threw up my hands like – my plans are garbage and I don’t want to be here anymore.

    Pain made me willing to go about this in a different way than I had previously. The news that had come out is that I had been abusive to women, and I’ve been shooting dogs, and I’ve been willingly giving women STDs and like – it’s disgusting, it’s depraved. I felt deep shame, deep guilt, shame like I had never experienced before. The kind of shame where you forget how to breathe.

    It was seeing other people who had sinned beyond anything I could even conceptualize also being found in Christ that made me feel like, okay well, that gives me hope. I started hearing experiences, of other depraved people who had found their way in this. The Gospel gave me this invite to just let go. I came from the school of – God helps those who help themselves. That’s not what I found. God comes to those who ask, that’s what I have experienced.

    I'd like to include the excerpts from the Q and A session by Dan Martell. He was asked, "What do you think about cutting out all distractions like social media, video games, and sugar? He responded, "Awesome question. Whatever you are not willing to give up is going to be the thing that slows you down from achieving your dreams. If that list is really long, it is improbable that you will ever achieve anything important." He went on to say, "People ask me: 'Dan, what did you do to become successful?'" "It's not what I did, it's what I don't do. I don't drink. I don't eat sugar. I don't sleep in... So if you just get rid of all of those vices that hold you back, that's what CREATES THE SPACE for you to become more."

    For today's notes, let me share with you the four points with Bible passages:

    What is God's Grace?
    "Grace, Mercy and Peace" (I Tim. 1:2; II Tim. 1:2)

    Grace Greater than All My Sin
    "grace... more than abundant" (I Tim. 1:12-17)

    Granted in Jesus Christ from all Eternity
    "who abolished death and brought life and immortality through the gospel..." (II Tim. 8-12)

    With You Always
    "Grace be with you." (I Tim. 6:21; II Tim. 4:22)

    Idolatry is warned against throughout all of Scripture. As Christians, we see it all around us amongst unbelievers. It often looks like the pursuit of sinful behavior to bring fulfillment that can only be found in God. But among Christians, it can look a little different. Today we examine three different version of idolatry among believers.

    For you and me, we have to beware of replacing God with three things: blessings, alternate pathways, and ourselves on His throne of judgment. The first one shows up when we need things and people in our lives, even those from God, more than God Himself. The second one is when God supposedly comes first, but His teachings and ways are placed with alternate paths that fit us better. And the third... oh the third, is when more mature Christians elevate themselves to taking on God's role of judge over others. If our conclusions about others are demanded from God, then that demand is the idol, replacing even God Himself.

    I invite you today to some self examination on what it looks like to put God first in all things, and to flee from all forms of idolatry.

    I am blessed to be around a great number of highly impressive, faithful men. Glenn Hyde is one of those people, and today it is my please to share a story he told me recently. This week we are building upon this idea of drawing close to people who can help and listening to their stories and perspective.

    Recently, Glenn met with a group of men and talked about the history of our church here in Lindale. He spoke of the progress he has perceived in broken down fences and constructed bridges. It was uplifting to hear. I'm wonderful if there are walls in your life where bridges should be. I hope this story will be as much of a help to you as it was to me. Jesus, the Carpenter, is ready to do some building, but he's in the bridge business.

    Jim Spratlin was a great man. I don't mean that in a - say something nice because he has passed - sort of way. I mean I can specifically detail for you areas in his life where he impressed me greatly, specially his faith, marriage and relationship with his kids. I was drawn to him. And I have been changed by him. I needed him.

    Do you have people in your life who impress you? I'm talking about people who are where you want to be, who are simply better at something important than you are? How do you approach them? Or do you keep your distance? The way we interact with impressive people says a lot about who we are, and a whole lot about what will happen in you future. Come explore that with me today.

    Jesus described four soils that represented the four types of human heart. Some are hard and refuse the truth. Some hear and get excited but aren't ready to stand up in the face of the work. Some get past that but are just so distracted with this world. And a few will receive the word, be changed by it, and produce for God.

    Neither of us can say we are good and always good. But if you can determine where you've been lately in that spectrum and what it means you need to do next - then self evaluation can be of great benefit to you.

    This is also true of the term Growing and Going. Right now there are four options for where you are in your walk: not growing or going, growing but not going, going but not growing, or both growing and going! We look at each of those in today's episode, and how we can move in the right direction no matter where you are starting today.

    Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone - "What I have in Christ is far greater than what I have or don't have in life... He has prepared me for a moment such as this. That I may use the gifts He has given me to point all the attention back to Him."

    "I credit all that I do to God. He's given me a gift. He's given me a drive to just want to continue to improve myself. I have a platform and I want to use it to glorify Him, and so whenever I step on the track, it's always the prayer of 'God let me be the vessel in which you're glorified' whatever the result is, how I conduct myself, how I carry myself, not just how I perform."

    "I feel like I was running from God for years. That's when I was like, 'God, I surrender it to You. I don't know what this looks like I don't know what it means. Just show me what you're trying to show me.'"

    "For a long time, my identity was in track and field. But I realized that first and foremost, I'm a child of God. It set me free to run th race God has set out for me to run."

    Below is a link to each of the four songs mentioned.
    As well as the lyrics to "Altars over Stages"

    Garden in Manhattan
    I am Barabbas
    The Prodigal
    Altars over Stages

    "Sir, they've all gone off to him, " I said to that baptizer
    We watched as all his friends left him in the dust
    "It's a cold world, and we all just need the Son"
    He said with a smile

    I choose altars over stages 'cause Heaven is my wages
    I don't need the spotlight, so make me a silhouette
    And I won't fret, I don't care
    You can take me anywhere
    Heaven is my wages, I choose altars over stages

    Even angels in the sky can fall down to the depths
    Clip their wings with their pride, and rot what's in their chest
    The funny thing about pride is that you have it all your life
    But the moment you think you don't, it's gotten in your eyes

    Whoa-oh
    Has it gotten in my eyes?
    Whoa

    I choose altars over stages 'cause Heaven is my wages
    I don't need the spotlight, so make me a silhouette
    And I won't fret, I don't care
    You can take me anywhere
    Heaven is my wages, I choose altars over stages

    Whoa-oh

    I choose altars over stages 'cause Heaven is my wages
    I don't need the spotlight, so make me a silhouette
    I won't fret, I don't care
    You can take me anywhere
    'Cause Heaven is my wages, I choose altars over stages
