New Life Family Fellowship

"James doesn't have any hair on his tongue." Mel leads us in the book of James. We dive into what wisdom is and how to live from heavens wisdom and not worldly wisdom.  How to count trials as joy and live life to the fullest in Christ. 

There are 5 words that are used to describe freedom. Are you living in the freedom that was paid for by the blood of Jesus? 

Spiritual Drift:

• It can make you forget
• Distance comes when when have comfort 
  • Pain draws us in
• Business Hides it
• It feels normal
• You may not nocite

But there is Good News: Jesus always gives us the invitation back to closeness! 

As fathers we face many pressures in life. Do we let that push us into fear and anger or do we recoil into passivity? Listen to what the Lord would lead you into... As a father, a husband and in the world around you.  

Jesus said it was better if He goes so that God will send the Holy Spirit for all of us.  What kind of life will you live? Will it it be by the Holy Spirit or will you continue on in your prison? See what God is inviting you into through the power of His resurrected and ascended Son.  

Celebrate the the resurrection but don't neglect what comes next. Don't let fear trap you in the upper room. Let God's transformative power and instruction pull you out into the world. 

 

Matthew 28:18-19 (NKJV)
And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, "All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth.  Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,  

 

John 20:21 (NKJV)
So Jesus said to them again, "Peace to you! As the Father has sent Me, I also send you."  

 

When do you recognize Jesus? Are you waiting for Him to take away your trouble or? Is He walking you through something that your praying for him to take away? Find out what the word says about your circumstances and let Him show you how to reinterpret the stories you tell yourself. 

In today's sermon, we continue to look at the story of the prodigal son. We focus on the process of repentance in the journey of return to the Father's house. Once we "come to ourselves," we must begin the journey. As we make our way back home, we must resist the urge to "rehearse our failures" and learn to accept the forgiveness that the Father has already given us. Then, and only then, can we truly be free from our sins of the past and experience the transformational life that the Father provides.

In today's sermon we dive into the process of coming to ourselves in order to come back to the center which is Christ. We need to first look within ourselves and be completely honest with what is blocking us from going deeper into intimacy with the Lord. 

As we move further into the year of jubilee, we look into the walk between repentance and redemption. We see the example of the Prodigal son and the Father's love and how true repentance is not driven by fear. It is drawn by love.
