The Wonder of Christmas
Luke 2:7And she gave birth to her firstborn son and wrapped him in swaddling cloths and laid him in a manger, because there was no place for them in the inn.
Do we really take time to think about how incredible this is?  How incredible – the God of the Universe coming down in the form of a baby to reconcile humanity with Himself
This same God-child causes us to fight for our marriages
This same God-child causes us to raise our children differently from the world’s standards
This same God-man walked in our shoes so he can intercede with the Father with first-hand knowledge
This same God-man causes us to fight fleshly desires because we know our bodies are a temple of the Godhead
This does not happen (consistently) because we desire to be good, because in our own power we fail…this is because God came to us in the form of a Baby

Investing in others.  Building legacy. Advancing his kingdom – three part series

Part 1 (kick flip on mon): be grateful for those who have invested in your life.  Show gratitude.  Be humble enough to realize that many people paved your road.

Part 2 (commission on wed): Be a man who is investing in others.  Give of your time and experience.  Look for ways to lead by example. Counsel those who need counseling and share.

Part 3 (me): how to be a good mentor.  Characteristics of a good mentor are:  Listener, speaking truth, encourager, knowledgeable, and nonjudgemental.

Do you live in a way that can be considered an example to others?

“Why do you see the speck that is in your brother’s eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye?”

‭‭Matthew‬ ‭7:3‬ ‭ESV‬‬

We’re all sinners and truly fall short of the glory of God but that doesn’t mean we should sit on the sidelines. We should constantly be seeking knowledge and relationships that we can learn from or teach in.

Mentors should still seek out other mentors. Some of the best mentorship’s are the ones that aren’t prescribed in any formal manner.

Think about how Jesus mentored the 12 disciples. He spent nearly all of his waking time in an effort to build them up

Proverbs 22:6 ESV

Train up a child in the way he should go; even when he is old he will not depart from it.

Proverbs 27:17 ESV

Iron sharpens iron, and one man sharpens another.

We can all think of at one person who has been a mentor to ourselves but have you told them thank you?

COUNT-OFF & NAME-O-RAMA

Only a dozen men in history have planted their feet on the surface of the moon.  Neal Armstrong was the first in July 1969.  The last was Eugene Cernan, on December 13, 1972 – 49 years ago.

Captain Eugene Cernan was commander of the Apollo 17 mission, the final moon landing mission of the Apollo program and the last time that humans have even gone beyond low Earth orbit.  Apollo 17 landed in the moon’s Taurus-Littrow valley in part because it was thought to be possibly volcanic, and they wanted a closer look.  Cernan had twice before been a pilot for space missions – Apollo 10 had taken him into moon orbit, but not to its surface.  He must have been elated at the chance to return and perform this legendary feat (he’ll have the best story at every dinner party for the rest of his life, for sure!).  As he stepped to the edge of the lunar module and prepared to take his first – of what would be mankind’s last – steps on the moon, that leader of this historic moment paused and said these words that I wanted us to reflect on this morning.

“Houston, as I step off at the surface at Taurus-Littrow, I’d like to dedicate the first step of Apollo 17 to all those who made it possible…”

That’s the kind of leader that I want to be.  Even in my life’s pinnacle moments, I want to humbly know that my accomplishments and blessings are owed to the many who have paved my way.  I want to live and lead with humility and expressing gratitude to those who have invested in my life.

Galatians 6:6, “Let the one who is taught the Word share all good things with the teacher”.

How can I express my gratitude to those who have taught me, mentored me, taken a chance on me, opened a door for me?  What good things do I have to share back with them?  I believe most of them would simply say, “your heartfelt thanks is more than enough”.  Heck, I can do that!

So, here’s is your challenge.  Reflect on the actions of a mentor, a parent, a youth leader, a teacher – someone who has made an investment in your faith, your health, your career, your relationships – and some part of you is better because of the time and energy they gave you.  By the end of the day, reach out to that person and let them know you appreciate them.  A call, a text, an email.  Buy them lunch.  Give them a specific example of what they did for you and let them know of the impact it has made in your life.

“We must find time to stop and thank those people who make a difference in our lives” – JFK

Live and lead with humility and gratitude.  Express your gratitude to those who have invested in your life.

Hallerin Hinton Hill spoke at my church a couple of weeks ago. His message was on hope.
He said Hope is a habit
We need to practice hope
Remember when you’re at rock bottom, things can only get better.

I was hanging out at rock bottom when I was invited to workout with you.

I lost my job of 20 years and had no idea of how I was going to support my wife and kids.

Thanks Spotter for inviting me out!

“As tears were coming down the hope was rising up.”

4 things people with hope have:
1. H-healing
2. O-opportunities: turn obstacles into opportunity!
3. P-progress: Fix more than they break & leave more than they take
4. E-encouragement: literally means to make courage

Be in the habit of hope!

You gentlemen give me hope and challenge me to be a better man. I’m so happy to have you in my life.

2 Corinthians 12:9
Each time he said,”My grace is all you need, My power works best in weakness.” So now I am glad to boast about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ can work through me.

Parable of the sower of the seed is in the Bible 3 times and extremely consistent as told by 3 authors.  It’s got to be important.

Matthew 13:1–23, Mark 4:1–20, Luke 8:4–15 — the Parable of the Sower of the Seed

Luke 8:11 “This is the meaning of the parable: The seed is the word of God. 12 Those along the path are the ones who hear, and then the devil comes and takes away the word from their hearts, so that they may not believe and be saved. 13 Those on the rocky ground are the ones who receive the word with joy when they hear it, but they have no root. They believe for a while, but in the time of testing they fall away. 14 The seed that fell among thorns stands for those who hear, but as they go on their way they are choked by life’s worries, riches and pleasures, and they do not mature. 15 But the seed on good soil stands for those with a noble and good heart, who hear the word, retain it, and by persevering produce a crop.

The Parable of the Weeds

Matthew 13:24 Jesus told them another parable: “The kingdom of heaven is like a man who sowed good seed in his field. 25 But while everyone was sleeping, his enemy came and sowed weeds among the wheat, and went away. 26 When the wheat sprouted and formed heads, then the weeds also appeared.

27 “The owner’s servants came to him and said, ‘Sir, didn’t you sow good seed in your field? Where then did the weeds come from?’

28 “‘An enemy did this,’ he replied.

“The servants asked him, ‘Do you want us to go and pull them up?’

29 “‘No,’ he answered, ‘because while you are pulling the weeds, you may uproot the wheat with them. 30 Let both grow together until the harvest. At that time I will tell the harvesters: First collect the weeds and tie them in bundles to be burned; then gather the wheat and bring it into my barn.’”

36 Then he left the crowd and went into the house. His disciples came to him and said, “Explain to us the parable of the weeds in the field.”

The Parable of the Weeds Explained

37 He answered, “The one who sowed the good seed is the Son of Man. 38 The field is the world, and the good seed stands for the people of the kingdom. The weeds are the people of the evil one, 39 and the enemy who sows them is the devil. The harvest is the end of the age, and the harvesters are angels.

40 “As the weeds are pulled up and burned in the fire, so it will be at the end of the age. 41 The Son of Man will send out his angels, and they will weed out of his kingdom everything that causes sin and all who do evil. 42 They will throw them into the blazing furnace, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. 43 Then the righteous will shine like the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Whoever has ears, let them hear.

MOLESKIN:

Parable of the weeds to me reads that we are born into a world at war.  Do not be discouraged by others winning at life and those doing it the wrong way.  Take heart and purify your motives because if one other is saved that was destined for the fire, there will be great rejoicing in heaven.  Jesus will have the victory!
