    2 Corinthians 3:11 WE

    11 Now, my brothers, in closing I say, `Goodbye.' Be what you should be. Listen to what I say. Be good to each other. Agree with one another. Live in peace with one another. And the God who gives love and peace will be with you.

    1 Peter 2:10 NIV

    10 Once you were not a people, but now you are the people of God…

    Psalm 68:6 NIV

    6 God sets the lonely in families…

    John 13:34-35 NIV

    34 “A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. 35 By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.”

    1) MEND WHAT IS BROKEN

    Luke 15:2 NIV

    2 But the Pharisees and the teachers of the law muttered, “This man welcomes sinners and eats with them.”

    Luke 15:9 NIV

    9 And when she finds it, she calls her friends and neighbors together and says, ‘Rejoice with me; I have found my lost coin.’

    Luke 15:22-28 NIV

    22 “But the father said to his servants, ‘Quick! Bring the best robe and put it on him. Put a ring on his finger and sandals on his feet. 23 Bring the fattened calf and kill it. Let’s have a feast and celebrate. 24 For this son of mine was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found.’ So they began to celebrate. 25 “Meanwhile, the older son was in the field. When he came near the house, he heard music and dancing. 26 So he called one of the servants and asked him what was going on. 27 ‘Your brother has come,’ he replied, ‘and your father has killed the fattened calf because he has him back safe and sound.’ 28 “The older brother became angry and refused to go in. So his father went out and pleaded with him.

    2) FROM THEM BEFORE ME

    Hebrews 3:13 NIV

    13 But encourage one another day after day, as long as it is still called "Today," so that none of you will be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin.

    Hebrews 10:25 NIV

    25 not forsaking our own assembling together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another; and all the more as you see the day drawing near.

    3) FIND AGREEMENT

    Philippians 2:1-4 NIV

    Therefore if you have any encouragement from being united with Christ, if any comfort from his love, if any common sharing in the Spirit, if any tenderness and compassion, 2 then make my joy complete by being like-minded, having the same love, being one in spirit and of one mind. 3 Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves, 4 not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of the others.

    Matthew 18:19 NIV

    19 “Again, truly I tell you that if two of you on earth agree about anything they ask for, it will be done for them by my Father in heaven.

    4) CULTIVATE PEACE

    Romans 12:18 NIV

    18 If possible, so far as it depends on you, be at peace with all men.

    … He has also set eternity in the human heart…

    Romans 3:23 NIV

    23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,

    John 3:16-17 NIV

    16 For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. 17 For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.

    2 Corinthians 5:18-21 NIV

    18 All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation: 19 that God was reconciling the world to himself in Christ, not counting people’s sins against them. And he has committed to us the message of reconciliation. 20 We are therefore Christ’s ambassadors, as though God were making his appeal through us. We implore you on Christ’s behalf: Be reconciled to God. 21 God made him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.

    Matthew 5:14-16 NIV

    14 “You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. 15 Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. 16 In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.

    1) T...ALK TO GOD

    Exodus 2:24 NIV

    24 God heard their groaning and he remembered his covenant with Abraham, with Isaac and with Jacob.

    James 5:16 NIV

    … The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective.

    2) R...ESTORE RELATIONSHIP

    John 13:34 NIV

    34 “A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another.

    Mark 12:30-31 NIV

    30 Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.’ 31 The second is this: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no commandment greater than these.”

    3) U...NSELFISH LIVING

    1 John 3:17 NIV

    17 If anyone has material possessions and sees a brother or sister in need but has no pity on them, how can the love of God be in that person?

    Luke 6:38 NIV

    38 Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.”

    4) S...HARE YOUR JESUS STORY

    1 Peter 3:15 NIV

    15 But in your hearts revere Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect,

    Mark 5:19 NIV

    19 Jesus did not let him, but said, “Go home to your own people and tell them how much the Lord has done for you, and how he has had mercy on you.”

    5) T...AKE THEM WITH YOU

    Today's Scripture: 2 Corinthians 10:1-6 ESV

    ___________

    Romans 12:2 ESV

    Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.

    2 Thessalonians 1:8-9 ESV

    ... in flaming fire, inflicting vengeance on those who do not know God and on those who do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus. 9 They will suffer the punishment of eternal destruction, away from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of his might,

    Matthew 28:19 ESV

    19 Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,

    2 Timothy 3:1-7 ESV

    2 Timothy 4:3-4 ESV

    For the time is coming when people will not endure sound teaching, but having itching ears they will accumulate for themselves teachers to suit their own passions, 4 and will turn away from listening to the truth and wander off into myths.

    Luke 6:43-45 ESV

    For no good tree bears bad fruit, nor again does a bad tree bear good fruit, 44 for each tree is known by its own fruit. For figs are not gathered from thornbushes, nor are grapes picked from a bramble bush. 45 The good person out of the good treasure of his heart produces good, and the evil person out of his evil treasure produces evil, for out of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaks.

    Galatians 6:1-2 ESV

    Brothers, if anyone is caught in any transgression, you who are spiritual should restore him in a spirit of gentleness. Keep watch on yourself, lest you too be tempted. Bear one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ.

    Romans 12:4-6 ESV

    For as in one body we have many members, and the members do not all have the same function, so we, though many, are one body in Christ, and individually members one of another. Having gifts that differ according to the grace given to us, let us use them:

    Galatians 6:2 ESV

    Bear one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ.

    Galatians 6:9-10 ESV

    And let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up. So then, as we have opportunity, let us do good to everyone, and especially to those who are of the household of faith.

    Proverbs 27:17 NIV

    As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another.

    1) CHRIST'S AMBASSADORS

    2 Corinthians 5:20 ESV

    Therefore, we are ambassadors for Christ, God making his appeal through us. We implore you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God.

    John 17:16 ESV

    They are not of the world, just as I am not of the world. Sanctify them in the truth; your word is truth. As you sent me into the world, so I have sent them into the world.

    Jude 1:3-4 ESV

    Beloved, although I was very eager to write to you about our common salvation, I found it necessary to write appealing to you to contend for the faith that was once for all delivered to the saints. 4 For certain people have crept in unnoticed who long ago were designated for this condemnation, ungodly people, who pervert the grace of our God into sensuality and deny our only Master and Lord, Jesus Christ.

    2) WEAPONS UNSEEN

    2 Corinthians 10:1-6 ESV

    I, Paul, myself entreat you, by the meekness and gentleness of Christ—I who am humble when face to face with you, but bold toward you when I am away!— I beg of you that when I am present I may not have to show boldness with such confidence as I count on showing against some who suspect us of walking according to the flesh. For though we walk in the flesh, we are not waging war according to the flesh. For the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh but have divine power to destroy strongholds. We destroy arguments and every lofty opinion raised against the knowledge of God, and take every thought captive to obey Christ, being ready to punish every disobedience, when your obedience is complete.

    Ephesians 4:1-3 ESV

    John 15:12-14 ESV

Matthew 8:19-23 NIV19 Then a scribe came and said to Him, “Teacher, I will follow You wherever You go.” 20 And Jesus *said to him, “The foxes have holes and the birds of the sky have nests, but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay His head.” 21 And another of the disciples said to Him, “Lord, allow me first to go and bury my father.” 22 But Jesus *said to him, “Follow Me, and let the dead bury their own dead.” 23 When He got into the boat, His disciples followed Him. Ecclesiastes 11:4 Living Bible4 If you wait for perfect conditions, you will never get anything done. 2) R: REGULARLY SHOW UP2 Corinthians 5:7 NIV7 For we live by faith, not by sight. Hebrews 10:24-25 NIV24 And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds, 25 not giving up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another—and all the more as you see the Day approaching. 3) O: OPEN UP2 Corinthians 5:2 NIV2 Meanwhile we groan, longing to be clothed instead with our heavenly dwelling, Proverbs 12:1 NIVWhoever loves discipline loves knowledge, but whoever hates correction is stupid. Luke 1:53 NIV53 He has filled the hungry with good things, And sent the rich away empty-handed. Mark 2:17 NIV17 And hearing this, Jesus *said to them, “It is not those who are healthy who need a physician, but those who are sick; I did not come to call the righteous, but sinners.” 4) A: ACT ON IT2 Corinthians 5:9 NIV9 So we make it our goal to please him, whether we are at home in the body or away from it. John 14:23 NIV23 Jesus replied, “Anyone who loves me will obey my teaching. My Father will love them, and we will come to them and make our home with them. 5) N: NEVER EVER QUIT2 Corinthians 5:10 NIV10 For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each of us may receive what is due us for the things done while in the body, whether good or bad.1 Corinthians 15:58 NIV58 Therefore, my dear brothers and sisters, stand firm.

Luke 18:8 NIVHowever, when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on the earth?” 2 Corinthians 1:24 NIV24 Not that we lord it over your faith, but we work with you for your joy, because it is by faith you stand firm. 2 Corinthians 1:8 NIV8 We do not want you to be uninformed, brothers and sisters, about the troubles we experienced in the province of Asia. We were under great pressure, far beyond our ability to endure, so that we despaired of life itself. 2 Corinthians 4:7-18 NIV7 But we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all-surpassing power is from God and not from us. 8 We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; 9 persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed. 10 We always carry around in our body the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be revealed in our body. 11 For we who are alive are always being given over to death for Jesus’ sake, so that his life may also be revealed in our mortal body. 12 So then, death is at work in us, but life is at work in you. 13 It is written: “I believed; therefore I have spoken.” Since we have that same spirit of faith, we also believe and therefore speak, 14 because we know that the one who raised the Lord Jesus from the dead will also raise us with Jesus and present us with you to himself. 15 All this is for your benefit, so that the grace that is reaching more and more people may cause thanksgiving to overflow to the glory of God. 16 Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. 17 For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. 18 So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal. 2 Corinthians 1:9 NIV9 Indeed, we felt we had received the sentence of death. But this happened that we might not rely on ourselves but on God, who raises the dead. 2 Timothy 1:12 NIV12 because I know whom I have believed, and am convinced that he is able to guard what I have entrusted to him until that day. Proverbs 3:5 NIV5 Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; Jude 1:20 NIV20 But you, dear friends, by building yourselves up in your most holy faith and praying in the Holy Spirit, Colossians 2:6-7 NIV6 So then, just as you received Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to live your lives in him, 7 rooted and built up in him, strengthened in the faith as you were taught, and overflowing with thankfulness. Exodus 20:3 NIV3 “You shall have no other gods before me. 1) REFLECT ON WHAT YOU TYPICALLY LEAN INTO (TRUST)2 Corinthians 1:8 NIV8 We do not want you to be uninformed, brothers and sisters, about the troubles we experienced in the province of Asia.

    9 After they had heard the king, they went on their way, and the star they had seen when it rose went ahead of them until it stopped over the place where the child was. 10 When they saw the star, they were overjoyed. 11 On coming to the house, they saw the child with his mother Mary, and they bowed down and worshiped him. Then they opened their treasures and presented him with gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh.

    Ecclesiastes 3:11 NIV

    11 ...He has also set eternity in the human heart…

    1) A FLICKERING HOPE

    1 Peter 5:8 NIV

    8 Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour.

    Matthew 17:20 NIV

    20 He replied, “Because you have so little faith. Truly I tell you, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you.”

    2) AN UNCHARACTERISTIC PAUSE

    Matthew 2:1-2 NIV

    After Jesus was born in Bethlehem in Judea, during the time of King Herod, Magi from the east came to Jerusalem 2 and asked, “Where is the one who has been born king of the Jews? We saw his star when it rose and have come to worship him.”

    Acts 17:27 NIV

    27 God did this so that they would seek him and perhaps reach out for him and find him, though he is not far from any one of us.

    Today's Scripture: Matthew 2:1-8 NIV

    __________

    Matthew 2:1-8 NIV

    After Jesus was born in Bethlehem in Judea, during the time of King Herod, Magi from the east came to Jerusalem 2 and asked, “Where is the one who has been born king of the Jews? We saw his star when it rose and have come to worship him.” 3 When King Herod heard this he was disturbed, and all Jerusalem with him. 4 When he had called together all the people’s chief priests and teachers of the law, he asked them where the Messiah was to be born. 5 “In Bethlehem in Judea,” they replied, “for this is what the prophet has written: 6 “‘But you, Bethlehem, in the land of Judah, are by no means least among the rulers of Judah; for out of you will come a ruler who will shepherd my people Israel.’” 7 Then Herod called the Magi secretly and found out from them the exact time the star had appeared. 8 He sent them to Bethlehem and said, “Go and search carefully for the child. As soon as you find him, report to me, so that I too may go and worship him.”

    John 3:16 NIV

    16 For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.

    1) THE JOURNEY BEGINS WITH THE FATHER

    John 6:44 NIV

    44 “No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws them, and I will raise them up at the last day.

    John 12:32 NIV

    32 And I, when I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all people to myself.”

    Revelation 3:20 NIV

    20 Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with that person, and they with me.

    2) THE JOURNEY IS A NATURAL RESPONSE

    Acts 17:27 NIV

    27 God did this so that they would seek him and perhaps reach out for him and find him, though he is not far from any one of us.

    2 Chronicles 16:9 NIV

    9 For the eyes of the Lord range throughout the earth to strengthen those whose hearts are fully committed to him...

    Jeremiah 29:13 NIV

    13 You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.

    Romans 1:20 NIV

    20 For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse.

    3) THE JOURNEY IS A FAITH DECISION

    Mark 4:31-32 NIV

    31 It is like a mustard seed, which is the smallest of all seeds on earth. 32 Yet when planted, it grows and becomes the largest of all garden plants, with such big branches that the birds can perch in its shade.”

    Revelation 3:20 NIV

    Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with that person, and they with me.

    Matthew 7:7-8 NIV
