#LoveYourNeighbor
“As followers of Jesus, we're called to a unique way of living, aren't we? As we leave this place, my invitation to you is to consider how you could get a little bit closer to following in the in in Jesus' teachings and guarding yourself against hating those around you or hating anybody else.

“The character of the angel in this passage aligns with the character of god himself or that again, Jesus. He is to be obeyed and he was the authority. He has the authority to reject the pardoning of their transgressions. It seems that the angel is the same captain of the host of the lord who is speaking to Joshua. Jesus was the one leading his people through the wilderness and is now carrying a sword to lead them in the battle.”

Start at the beginning. When were the feelings between you and the other person When did it start? See, that's where you need to deal with it there at the beginning. Right? That's why Jesus sort of in in many ways says, you fool. If you call somebody a fool, well, you'll be subject to to judgment and fire and courts and different things. He's saying, basically, take every interaction seriously so that it doesn't become something that's out of hand.”

#FaithInAction
“Now Jesus is saying this just after he has offered his most essential, I would argue, teachings. In Matthew five through seven, his sermon on the mount, he's saying this, it's important not just to hear what I have said, but to act upon them. gives you a sure foundation to go about the challenges and the rigors of life. The storms will come. The rains. Right? The floods. The wind. Those challenges that inevitably come. If we embody and act out what Jesus is teaching, it can help to strengthen us.”

“in God's wisdom, wants us to be balanced in every way, in every possible way that we can be. And God wants us to be balanced in our discipleship. He he wants us to be set apart in in a way that that will be a light to other people. We have a mission. Right? Our mission, it says in Jesus' great commission, is to make disciples. That means each of us is called to make followers of Christ through creative ways. And we're called to baptize.”

“As we open the scriptures today, I have an invitation for you. I hope that you have your own bible. I hope that you bring it to worship, and if those of you who didn't this morning, that's okay. But I hope that you have one that's yours. I hope that you read it often. You know, it's a gift to have the holy scriptures. You know, back thousands of years ago, folks would gather in house churches all over throughout the Mediterranean just to hear a word from Paul that was written in a in a letter on papyrus or written in Greek. They would gather to hear and then to hear again and then to hear again before that letter moved on to another church.”

Each of you are a beloved child of God, just the way you are. God created you. He knows you in those intimate and vulnerable and beautiful ways. told you or I encouraged you earlier about your Bible. I'm gonna be referencing several scriptures. I hope you'll take note of them. They're important.”

“God's word, it's more accessible than it's ever been. You can carry it on your phone with you. You can choose from 500 different translations if you would like. Take advantage of allowing God's word to pour into your mind, to pour into your heart, to pour into those around you, through your spirit, through your words, and through your actions. Okay. That sermon is over.”

“``Not only was he faithful but he also revealed his power when the walls of Jericho fell with a shout from the Israelite army. The power of god coupled with the faith of the Israelites had brought the victory. We'd seen this confirmed in Hebrews chapter 11. In the past, the Israelites had failed to trust god many, many times. When we trust god and act in faith on his promises, we can celebrate and worship when we see him fulfill his plans through us.”
23s
“So, what do we learn about it from that passage? Why the walls fell? Because of the people's faith in the promise of god. They just simply believe. They're doing what they can't make heads or tails out of how all this is gonna work out. God didn't give them all the details but he did tell them what to do and they did what he said and it all happened just like he just like he had promised.”
