This is the great reversal. This is normal Christianity. This is the treasure in the field. Becoming a Christian means discovering that Christ is a Treasure Chest of joy, pleasure and satisfaction. 

The believer is invited into the incredible adventure and privilege of giving our all for the gospel.

Surrendering to God’s willing and doing is a choice, not God doing magic but our conscious mental decision. When we decide to live a certain way and make it an act of our will to follow His will, we discover that the power behind that decision is Holy Spirit. WE are NOT alone.

Philippians 2:1-11. Unity with one another is made possible through humility. Having the same mindset as Christ is how the Kingdom is extended and gospel is advanced.

Holy Spirit wants us to see the demonstration of the love of God at the Cross, and He wants to make this demonstration of love real to us. (Romans 5:5-)

Paul's prayer for the Philippians. Everything is ultimately for the praise and the glory of God

HANNAH: Prayer answered- Promises fulfilled. How often God’s promises come to fruition through impossible circumstances!

Philippians is a remarkable encouraging letter, sent by Paul and from his prison cell, to the Philippians church who are encountering resistance and persecution. An exhortation to follow Christ’s example of humility and servanthood and to press on rejoicing knowing that our citizenship is in heaven.

This is a striking/confusing story. Jesus loves Lazarus, yet oddly when he hear’s that he is sick He chose not to rush but instead He waits. Jesus knew what this delay would mean. He loved this family therefore He delayed. We are invited to see that this is LOVE.

Jesus invites us to co-labour with Him in distributing His bountiful provision.

What if we allow John 5 to search us and reveal any religion/legalism/blindness/independence/hardness, selfish ambition that’s in us? Not so we experience crippling judgement, but so that we can do what the Pharisees refused to do and come to Jesus and receive life.

Miracle of John # 2. (John 4:46-54) In this miracle we discover the power of coming to end of our own resources and solutions, and the importance of the decision to take Jesus at His word alone and believe before we see.

Our mission is to LOVE - to Love our Neighbour as ourselves.

Miracles of John 1#. This first miracle reveal Jesus’ nature and glory to His disciples - so that they would believe! The kingdom is a kingdom of abundance. With a King who knows how to love people well…

Praying for ‘’THINGS” is good, biblical and encouraged by God. However - It is easy for our prayer life to JUST be about waiting on God for things. What if our relationship with God is ALWAYS needing something else from Him? What about waiting on God - For God. (*Idea from Emotionally Healthy Spirituality).

Christmas morning is where the PATIENT/EXPECTANT/EXCITED GIVER and the Longing waiting RECEIVER joyfully meet
