John 13:31-38  When therefore he had gone out, Jesus said, &amp;quot;Now is the Son of Man glorified, and God is glorified in Him;  if God is glorified in Him, God will also glorify Him in Himself, and will glorify Him immediately.  &amp;quot;Little children, I am with you a little while longer. You shall seek Me; and as I said to the Jews, I now say to you also, &amp;#8217;Where I am going, you cannot come.&amp;#8217;

John 13:18-30

A kindergarten teacher was observing her classroom of children while they drew.  She would occasionally walk around to see each child&amp;#8217;s art work.  As she came to one little girl who was working diligently, she asked what the drawing was.  

The girl replied, &amp;#8220;I&amp;#8217;m drawing God.&amp;#8221;

The teacher paused and said, &amp;#8220;But no one knows what God looks like.&amp;#8221;

Without missing a beat or looking up from her drawing, the girl replied, &amp;#8220;They will in a minute.&amp;#8221;

From the first three chapters of Ephesians, we learned much important truths about God and His relationship with people. 
And because of God&amp;#8217;s love for Christians, God provides specific instructions for living. For any Christian wondering how to live or what God&amp;#8217;s will is, Ephesians 4-6 provides speci .....]]></description>

Review
Last week we looked at the story of Joseph
as a young man- was gifted by God w/dreams, 
these dreams were part of his destiny,
but Joseph was also proud/arrogant in the way he handled what God had given him, 
his brothers sold him into slavery,
in Egypt, as a slave, got himself into trouble with his master&amp;#8217;s wife- thrown into prison,
interpreted dreams for- baker/cupbearer but was overlooked again and left in prison.

Galatians 5:22-23

What is Faithfulness?

In our culture: The opposite of &amp;#8220;Unfaithfulness&amp;#8221;
-	Unfaithfulness is usually used in the context of marriage &amp;#8211; to speak of an affair &amp;#8211; going outside the marriage to find what should only be found within the marriage. &amp;#8211; we vow to love &amp;amp; be faithful at the wedding.
-	Unfaithfulness is more than adultery &amp;#8211; If you are at your job, the pub, sports game, &amp;#8230; when you should be home and present to the family, are you bein .....]]></description>

And I don&amp;#8217;t know about you, but those times can be some of the most helpless times of your life.  What do you do?  What do you say?  How should you react?

We had finished with the evening session of the pastors conference and I was planning on going back to the room and doing some studying.  My laptop had other plans.  It crashed. So I turned on the TV to catch up on the news.  I&amp;#8217;m sure that I was as shocked as you were when I saw what happened at Fort Hood.  I couldn&amp;#8217;t believe what I was hearing.  It was very early in the coverage, so the details were very .....]]></description>

So what all is contained in this passage?  It&amp;#8217;s just another name list.  It&amp;#8217;s a list of plain, ordinary, everyday people.  I don&amp;#8217;t know anybody like that, do you?  The fact is, we&amp;#8217;re all just a bunch of plain, ordinary, everyday people.  If someone was to find our membership roll a few generations from now, what do you think they&amp;#8217;ll find?

Probably most of us have pictures of this event in our mind from children&amp;#8217;s story books or Sunday school lessons.  On the one hand, it&amp;#8217;s good that many of us are very familiar with this event.  But on the other hand, it can almost be a hindrance.  It can be a hindrance because we&amp;#8217;re so familiar with it, we think we know everything we need to know about it.

I&amp;#8217;ve been summoned before&amp;#8212;several times.  We lived in Denver, CO when I joined the Air Force.  And almost all of my time in the Air Force, I kept my state residency there.

In other words, Jesus claims to be equal with God because the works that He does are the same works that God does.  Now, why was that important?

Introduction:
As Jesus and the disciples made their way out of the Temple one day (Mt 24), the disciples were in awe over the physical construction of the temple.  The stones and the beauty and everywhere the glint of gold caught the eye.  As they were marveling, Jesus delivered the devastating blow that soon not one stone would be left upon another.  That temple would be destroyed.

Blessed Be the Lord
Psalm 68:19-35
John Shearhart
November 8, 2009

Introduction
Psalm 68:19-35 begins and ends with the command &amp;#8220;blessed be the Lord&amp;#8221; or &amp;#8220;blessed be God.&amp;#8221; To bless someone is to exalt, praise, or approve of him.

The commands to bless God in this Psalm serve as bookends to seven great reasons for doing so.

This morning I want to look at these seven reasons in a sermon I am calling&amp;#8230;

Introduction
Tonight we&amp;#8217;re going to pick up in the book of Genesis with chapters 44 and 45. At first I had them separated, but I think they go better together. Joseph&amp;#8217;s brothers sold him into slavery and wrote him off as dead. Twenty years later they go to Egypt during a famine to buy food. As God would have it, the man who controls the food is their long-lost brother, Joseph! He recognizes them, but they don&amp;#8217;t recognize him. He accuses t .....]]></description>

INTRO:  Last week, we took a look at Paul&amp;#8217;s first missionary journey from Antioch.
&amp;#8226;	This was the first time I preached &amp;#8216;from the maps&amp;#8217; &amp;#8211; it was fun! 
&amp;#8226;	We looked at the journey Paul took with Barnabas and John Mark.  But when they came to Perga in Pamphylia, John departed from them, and returned to Jerusalem (Acts 13:13).
&amp;#8226;	This week, I want to look at what happened after this missionary journey had ended.

Every spring my dad would take about 30%-40% of the backyard, break it up with a hand driven plow, row it off, and plant a garden.  Dad was very specific about what he planted in the garden.

He&amp;#8217;s saying, &amp;#8220;We have a lot to say about Jesus, but you don&amp;#8217;t listen the way you used to. You let the world dictate your philosophy, so it&amp;#8217;s hard to explain the deeper things  .....]]></description>

INTRODUCTION

Text:  Psalm 9
Key verse: Psalm 9:9-10 -  9The LORD also will be a refuge for the oppressed, a refuge in times of trouble.  10And those who know Your name will put their trust in You; for You, LORD, have not forsaken those who seek You. 

Premise: The justice of God is two-sided and perfect in its judgment and execution.  We, His saints need not fear retribution but reward and refuge.

	How many of you exercise regularly? Yeah, every morning the alarm clock rings, I jump at of bed and run around the block six times. Not bad, huh.

Introduction:
   We live in a wicked world, and sometimes we get caught off guard because we have the notion that the Gospel is going to fix the world.  The Bible is very clear that the world is broken.

The Bible tells us that perilous times will come and that evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse deceiving and being deceived.

A. What is the thrust of vv. 2-7?
This is basically Paul&amp;#8217;s greeting to the Romans.

B. In these verses what does Paul tell us about the gospel?
1.The gospel was promised beforehand, in the O.T., v. 2.

Benjamin Franklin learned that crushed plaster sown in the fields would help make things grow.  He told his neighbors this, but they did not believe him and they argued with him trying to prove that plaster could be of no use at all.   After a little while he allowed the matter to drop and said no more about it.  But he went into his field early the next spring to plant some grass.  Close by the path, where people would walk, he traced some letters into the ground p .....]]></description>

It had rained that entire day and the children couldn&amp;#8217;t go out for recess, so they got more and more restless and hyperactive as the day wore on. The teacher couldn&amp;#8217;t wait for the bell to ring at 3 o&amp;#8217;clock. About 2:45 she saw it was still raining, and so she decided to start getting the kids ready for dismissal.

Introduction
At a national spelling contest in Washington an incident occurred that made me feel good&amp;#8212;and made me wonder. In the fourth round of the contest, Rosalie Elliot, then an eleven-year-old from South Carolina, was asked to spell avowal. In her soft Southern accent she spelled it. But did the seventh grader use an a or an e as the next to last letter? The judges couldn&amp;#8217;t decide.

How do we determine the difference between legitimate desires and coveting?
	Legitimate desire will not sacrifice people for the thing desired (1 Cor. 13)
Covetous desire will not sacrifice the thing desired for people

Legitimate desire trusts God to provide in His Time 
Covetous desire is not content with God&amp;#8217;s provision

Hypocritical professors, who dissemble and trifle with God, are justly left to themselves to do something grossly scandalous. So they throw off that form of godliness to which they have been a reproach, and of which they deny the power.

Sometimes I was the local financial aid officer, assisting a young Marine in between pay days with the money necessary for a car insurance payment.  Sometimes my home was the local USO as Christina and I held thanksgiving dinners for troops who for various reasons would not be heading home for the holidays.

Now, Calvin has a sense of humor, but it&amp;#8217;s all cynical and gruesome.  There is no joy connected with the humor.  It&amp;#8217;s somewhat like the faces of those who claim to be followers of Jesus Christ, but live life as sour as a lemon dropped in pickle juice!

Jonah 3:1-4:11

Introduction
We&amp;#8217;re going to finish our three part series of Jonah this morning. So far we&amp;#8217;ve learned that God instructed Jonah to go and preach to the Ninevites to warn them of His coming wrath. Instead Jonah hopped a ship going the wrong way in an attempt to outrun God.

God caught up with Jonah in the middle of the sea by causing a terrible storm. The men onboard with Jonah had to take drastic measures to .....]]></description>

Introduction
We started a short series through the book of Jonah last week, and today we&amp;#8217;re picking up in chapter two. In chapter one, we learned that God told Jonah to go to Nineveh, which is the capital city of Assyria, but Jonah refused.

So, Jonah boarded a ship in the wrong direction .....]]></description>

Ways Christians steal
We steal from God by withholding what is due Him

Trusting God to Provide
	God honors those who humble themselves
	God provides for those who Seek Him

Good morning.
This morning we are going to talk about the 6th Commandment as we continue our series on God&amp;#8217;s Top Ten.

The sixth commandment is found in Exodus 20:13 and reads, &amp;#8220;You shall not murder.&amp;#8221;
I think that when many of us hear this commandment, we think to ourselves, finally, one that we should have no trouble keeping.

I am not a murderer.
I have never killed anyone.
I would never kill anyone.

	This parable is clearly a parable about prayer.

How does he do that? He must replace the old mind with a new mind that will now desire spiritual things.

Escape to the hills, lest you be swept away.&amp;#8217;  Lot said to them, .....]]></description>

INTRODUCTION

-	A few weeks ago when we were discussing how to pursue the prize of Christian maturity I quoted 	Dr. Warren Wiersbe as writing that &amp;#8220;A divine dissatisfaction is essential for spiritual progress.&amp;#8221; In 	the context of that quote and in the context of my sermon the point was that believers should never 	be satisfied with their level of spiritual growth. They can and should be joyful that growth is 	occurring, bu .....]]></description>

Introduction
We&amp;#8217;ve just come back from our mission trip to Red Bud, IL, and I wanted to take the opportunity to talk to you about service. This concept has been on my mind because we just went to work on someone else&amp;#8217;s church and in someone else&amp;#8217;s community free of charge for a week at our own expense. 

The whole idea of service is interesting because giving your possessions to someone else expecting nothing in return is b .....]]></description>

Introduction
A Church goer wrote a letter to the editor of a newspaper and complained that it made no sense to go to church every Sunday. &amp;quot;I&amp;#8217;ve gone for 30 years now,&amp;quot; he wrote, &amp;quot;and in that time I have heard something like 3,000 sermons. But for the life of me, I can&amp;#8217;t remember a single one of them. So, I think I&amp;#8217;m wasting my time and the pastors are wasting theirs by giving sermons at all.&amp;quot; 
 
This started a real controversy in the &amp;quot;Letters to the Editor&amp;quot;  .....]]></description>

Introduction

Good to be back from vacation- and yes, contrary to last weeks speaker, I did take a vacation.
I do understand where Pastor Jay is coming from- many Christians do not have a sense of laboring in the fields or building God&amp;#8217;s Kingdom.
I do believe it is good to regularly get away from our everyday schedules to &amp;#8230; refresh our bodies/minds, seek God&amp;#8217;s heart for our lives, and refocus on what is really important.
We are in a spiritual race and I want to fini .....]]></description>

* A couple of weeks ago Christy and Piper accompanied Deboria to Florida to check and take care of Deb&amp;#8217;s parents.  As you know, they are presently in a rehab center.  As they visited the rehab center, little Piper was all over the place talking, smiling, and hugging necks which caused her mom to make a special note of what little ones are able to do in a facility like this.  She was able to bring a smile to the faces of the people with whom she interacted.  .....]]></description>

In just these few verses, Paul tells us that this thing called marriage is a picture.  In the working out of what it means to be husband and wife, married couples paint a picture of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.  In the unique role of a man being a husband, he is playing the part of Jesus.  In the unique role of a woman being a wife, she is playing the part of the church.  The man isn&amp;#8217;t Jesus, he is just playing His role.  The woman isn&amp;#8217;t the church, she is .....]]></description>

Romans 5:1-11
John Shearhart
July 19, 2009

Introduction
This morning I am preaching a message on the subject of justification. This one word is among the most important in our theology because it describes our current and our eternally secure standing before God, the fairness of God in relation to His judgment and hell, and the justice of God in relation to His response to sin.

A very simple definition of justification is given in the title  .....]]></description>
