The Church of Eleven22

Your marriage is not about YOU. It’s all about declaring that Christ is BEFORE ALL THINGS. Therefore, in Christ: Wives, your job is to make your husband feel like the man. Husbands, your job is to make your wife feel like the most valuable thing in your world. Is Jesus before all things in your marriage? If not, what are you going to do about it?

“Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men” - Colossians 3:23

A heart infected with the Gospel has 2 primary symptoms: Loving God and Loving people - “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. 38 This is the great and first commandment. 39 And a second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself. 40 On these two commandments depend all the Law and the Prophets.” – Jesus (Matthew 22:37-40) Pro...

Kill the sin that is killing you by first loving the God that first loved you.

Religion says my activity earns a right standing before God. The gospel says Jesus' activity earns a relationship with God.

There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. Romans 8:1 28 Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light. Matthew 11:28-30

At some point God used other people to reach us. Now God is using us to reach other people. The moment you are RESCUED you become a part of the RESCUE TEAM.

We bring to God our first and best because He first loved us by giving His best in Christ Jesus.

Colossians is all about grace from start to finish because the Bible is all about grace from start to finish. The Bible is all about grace from start to finish because God is all about grace from start to finish.

For to us a child is born, to us a son is given; and the government shall be upon his shoulder, and his name shall be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. Isaiah 9:6 She will bear a son, and you shall call his name Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins. Matthew 1:21

Man-made religion is our attempt to make our way to a god up there somewhere through our own efforts. The Gospel is that God came down to rescue us. 22 All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had spoken by the prophet: 23 “Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and they shall call his name Immanuel” (which means, God with us). Matthew 1:22-23 10 For the Son of Man came to seek and...

Jesus did not come to bring peace. He is peace. I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world. John 16:33

Is it time for you to come to your senses, leave your rebellion or religion and come home to an Everlasting Father? For you did not receive the spirit of slavery to fall back into fear, but you have received the Spirit of adoption as sons, by whom we cry, “Abba! Father!” Romans 8:15

For to us a child is born, to us a son is given; and the government shall be upon his shoulder, and his name shall be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. Isaiah 9:6 Do you need a Wonderful Counselor? You can access the power and presence of the Holy Spirit through person of Jesus Christ.

The same God who warns us so adamantly about hell is the same God that sent his only begotten son Jesus to bear our sins and save us from hell. This is good, and it is pleasing in the sight of God our Savior, who desires all people to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth. 1 Timothy 2:3-4 Jesus is both the most active voice on Hell in the Bible and the saving voice saying, “surrender...

When we pray “Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven” we are not merely praying “God make our lives better” we are saying “God rule and reign here. God have your way with us because your way IS better.”

Passivity is holding back your strength for self preservation. Aggression is expressing your strength for self gratification. Love is leveraging your strength for others through self sacrifice. *The use of the trademark "Act Like Men” is with the express permission of Harvest Bible Chapel (www.actlikemen.org ).

True strength is not found in position, possessions, or power but in the PERSON and Work of Jesus. * When a strong man, fully armed, guards his own palace, his goods are safe; Luke 11:21 * For when I am weak, then I am strong. 2 Corinthians 12: 10b * Be strong and courageous. Do not be frightened, and do not be dismayed, for the LORD your God is with you wherever you go. Joshua 1:9 *The use of the...

-The LORD is a man of war; the LORD is his name. Exodus 15:3 - So God created man in his own image, Genesis 1:27 - For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, Ephesians 6:12 To Stand up and Act like Men we must dress our selves for battle and go to war to DEFEND and PROTECT our loved ones. Sta...

THE REBELLIOUS PERSON follows their own desires and ends up, despite some fun, being devoured. THE RELIGIOUS PERSON follows their rules and ends up, despite their effort, being devoured. THE GOSPEL CENTERED PERSON follows Christ the victor and ends up, despite our hardship, in victory. *The use of the trademark "Act Like Men” is with the express permission of Harvest Bible Chapel (www.actlikemen.o...

To STAND UP and act like a man you must first BOW DOWN and surrender to Jesus. For if, because of one man’s (Adam) trespass, death reigned through that one man, much more will those who receive the abundance of grace and the free gift of righteousness reign in life through the one man Jesus Christ. Romans 5:17 ”It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles...
