CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

Do you every worry? About the future, your family, your job, yourself? For me, the times when I worry take me out of the present moment. I hope you had a chance to enjoy the present moment with your F3 brothers this morning. Let’s read what Jesus says about worry in The Sermon on the Mount:
Matthew 6:25-34
““Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink, or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing? Look at the birds of the air; they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? And can any of you by worrying add a single hour to your span of life? And why do you worry about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they neither toil nor spin, yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not clothed like one of these. But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which is alive today and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will he not much more clothe you—you of little faith? Therefore do not worry, saying, ‘What will we eat?’ or ‘What will we drink?’ or ‘What will we wear?’ For it is the Gentiles who strive for all these things; and indeed your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. But strive first for the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. “So do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will bring worries of its own. Today’s trouble is enough for today.”
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭6:25-34‬ ‭NRSV‬‬

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

We are considering the concept of Family Discipleship this week. Kickflip talked about the power of moments and discipling around milestones in your children’s lives. I was given the less sexy topic of consistent intentionality which goes something like

Train up a child in the way he should go, Even when he is old he will not depart from it. – Proverbs 22:6

What is the opposite? If you don’t train your child, you do not know the path he will take. 

How many generations is any family, my family, your family from faithlessness? One

Judges 2:7-12 (abbreviated by Commission) The people served the Lord all the days of Joshua, and all the days of the elders who survived Joshua, who had seen all the great work of the Lord which He had done for Israel. 8 Then Joshua the son of Nun, the servant of the Lord, died. 10 All that generation also were gathered to their fathers; and there arose another generation after them who did not know the Lord, nor yet the work which He had done for Israel.

11 Then the sons of Israel did evil in the sight of the Lord and served other gods, 12 and they forsook the Lord, the God of their fathers.

This is near and dear to my heart. My parents are first generation Christians. I grew up in a moral household but not a spiritual household. My parents talked about right and wrong but never studied the Bible with me, never quoted the Bible to me. When I went to college, I had my conscience as a guide and it didn’t turn out well for me – Bad company corrupted good morals. They weren’t intentional with my faith so I wasn’t intentional with my faith. 

If you want your son to be a baseball player, you throw the ball with him. If you want your daughter to be a soccer player, you kick the ball with her. If you want your kid to get good grades, you do homework with them. Intentional actions with intentional outcomes. 

Take them to church, but know that that is not enough. Take them to youth group but don’t rely on the youth minister to make them a believer. If you want your child to be a Christian, you open the Bible with them. If you aren’t a strong teacher yet, share thoughts from a devotional. As you mature, begin to give specific lessons or work your way through a book of the Bible explaining to your kids who God is and what he expects from us. 

Intentional actions have intentional outcomes.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

I was reading a devotional by Paul David Tripp. On one day he says “If God intended for all the days of your life to be easy, they would be. No, in grace, he intends for your days to be his tools of refinement.”

If it was up to me and MY agenda, everyday would bring peace, comfort, pleasure, predictability. I’d have all the money I needed. I’d never be sick. My relationships would be flawless. Suffering would not be part of that. Waking up at 4:50 to exercise would not be part of that. Losing a job, marriage, a friend or a family member would not be in that equation. We like to define God’s goodness, faithfulness, love by how he meets our agenda.

But…

‘Consider it a great joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you experience various trials, because you know that the testing of your faith produces endurance. And let endurance have its full effect, so that you may be mature and complete, lacking nothing. ‘
James 1:2-4

‘You rejoice in this, even though now for a short time, if necessary, you suffer grief in various trials so that the proven character of your faith — more valuable than gold which, though perishable, is refined by fire — may result in praise, glory, and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ. ‘
1 Peter 1:6-7

‘Therefore, since we have been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. We have also obtained access through him by faith into this grace in which we stand, and we boast in the hope of the glory of God. And not only that, but we also boast in our afflictions, because we know that affliction produces endurance, endurance produces proven character, and proven character produces hope. This hope will not disappoint us, because God’s love has been poured out in our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was given to us. ‘
Romans 5:1-5

There are many passages like this…God is not working to meet our personal definition of happiness. And when we are expecting that, we are going to be disappointed. We’re going to wonder where he is and if he really loves us. But if we understand that just maybe God is after something better, which is our becoming holy (sanctified). We don’t get stronger when we “fart-sack”, right? We don’t learn how to win until we’ve been beaten a few times and we see the better plan. So just remember that his love and his plan is much greater than ours. He offers true hope and redemption and I hope you’ll take that with you today. Trust in that and have courage.
