Scripture: Hebrews 12:1-2; 11

Topic: Grace

Notes:- People of the hall of faith: Noah got drunk when he got off the ark, Moses, Rahab the Harlot... all humans that fell like every other; their sins are not highlighted in scripture, but their faith- We think when a person falls they have no faith- Men remember sin and disqualify but God does not disqualify- The gift God gives he never takes away- Temptations never go away; men of God fall; God's hand remains

Scripture: Hebrews 12:1-2; II Corinthians 6:14; Matthew 11:28-30; Galatians 5:1

Topic: Bondage

Notes:- 2 types of yokes: carrying and pulling... either slows you down- Do not yoke different animals together: believers and unbelievers, religions... the stronger will be damaged by heavier load- Business commitments, marriage- Choose world's yoke or the Lord's- Denominations get between people and Jesus- Come to Him and have rest; you don't have to fight- The church is reverting back to works as in Acts (Jews demanding gentiles follow law)- Religious traditions control people and quench the Spirit of God- By faith in Jesus alone gentiles are acceptable to God; in N.T. there is no Jew or gentile... we are one in Jesus- Gentiles acting like Jews... does not get you closer to God- You don't backslide by smoking or drinking or cursing- People pull others (children etc.)... you cannot carry them...

Topic: Giving

Notes:- Budget and give and God will help you out of debt- Our lives don't have to be affected by the economy; God provides- Seek first the kingdom of God... Get back to the scriptures- Zacheus met Jesus and first examined his generosity- When you look at Jesus everything else becomes trash- As God's people we should be taking care of each other's needs, not looking to the gov't or established church- Devil delights in bondage of debt, division in homes- People of Macedonia: affliction, joy, poverty, generosity... giving beyond their ability, gave themselves first to God- When you give yourself first to God problems with obedience solved- Manna... gather just enough. Don't operate in greed- Rich doesn't mean greedy. It's what you do with what you have- We live in poverty stricken faith; too much attention to the media- Give out of your need; He saved you to give it away- There is a proper and spiritual way to give: never thoughtless or demanded, grudgingly... give cheerfully- God supplies people's needs through other people- Men will give unto your bosom (folds of garment)- It's not about laying up treasures on earth; blessed to be a blessing

Notes:- Afraid of God as a child; went to father for comfort- We teach character of God but leave out the fatherhood- I would never abandon my own children for anything they could do- We abandon people in the church for their mistakes- People are in the bondage of the law- We see people as belonging or disqualified based on a set of rules- We tend to see God as our earthly fathers: absent, abusive, unfaithful, temperamental, irresponsible, merciless, demanding- Through Jesus God has become our righteousness; we must not be scared when we go to prayer- He's gonna take a lot of us to heaven who've fallen flat on our faces- God sees all in the eternal now... yet He saved us; sees us thru Jesus- Worry is not a sin... not a demanding commandment but a loving encouragement. He has everything under control

Have a budget.- There is no honest get rich quick scheme- Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth...- Do your children know what you smell like? (story of father's smell)- People focused on getting more stuff rather than making memories with their children/families- Get out of debt.
