Revelation Chapter 1

Assurance of Guidance - Proverbs 3:5-6

TRUST IN THE LORD

With all your heart,

And lean not on your own understanding.

In all your ways

Acknowledge Him,

And He shall direct your steps.

Proverbs 3:5-6

Not in riches...

Not in strength...

Not in wisdom...

But Trust In The Lord,

The God of Nature and Providence,

The God of All Grace!

Trust Him At All Times,

In Times of Affliction,

In Times of Temptation,

In Times of Darkness!

But Trust In The Lord,

For All Temporal Blessings,

For All Spiritual Blessings,

For Eternal Happiness!

For He Has Provided,

For He Has Promised,

For He Freely Gives!

BOOK REVIEW - At Home In Mitford

This is a delightful book

about Father Tim.

Father Tim is a 60 year-old

pastor of Lord's Chapel

who has prayed the same prayer

each morning for 12 years:

"Father, make me a blessing

to someone today

through Christ our Lord.

Amen."

FATHER TIM

is indeed a blessing to many.

This book takes the reader on a colorful

journey through the blessing that

Father Tim is to many in Mitford.

BARNABAS

is a large friendly dog

who adopts Father Tim

as his new owner.

This adds a new dimension

of humor to Father Tim's

daily routines.

DOOLEY

A modern-day "Tom Sawyer"

gets thrown into the mix

of Father Tim's blessing bowl.

Finally

a new neighbor arrives...

CYNTHIA

is a single author

near his age

who writes childrens books.

Their Friendship

takes them

on adventure after adventure...

which becomes

A LOVE STORY.

FATHER TIM'S SERMONS

provide a wealth

of spiritual growth insights:

"The sin life in us must be

transformed into the spiritual life,

through sacrifice and obedience."

"Go in new life..."

"Go in new life with Christ..."
"Go, and be as the butterfly."

LION KING - REVELATION

THE REVELATION

OF JESUS CHRIST

Which God gave Him
To show His servants
things which must shortly take place.

AND HE SENT

and signified it
by His angel
to His servant John.

who bore witness
to the Word of God,
and to the Testimony of Jesus Christ,
and to all things that he saw.

BLESSED

is he who reads
and those who hear
the words of this prophecy,
and keep those things
which are written in it,
for the time is near.

Nav Conference Notes - Part 2

LIVING AMONG THOSE

"YET TO KNOW CHRIST"

Who are the friends that brought you to Christ?

Who are the

"Yet To Know Christ"

people that have YOU on their

Top 5 List

to call when they have a need or problem?

Who are the

"Yet To Know Christ"

people on your

Top 5 List

that YOU would call

when YOU have a need or problem?

Tell me about the last time

you led someone

to Christ.

Tell me about the last time

you led someone

toward Christ.

Leading people TO CHRIST

is the same as leading people TOWARD CHRIST.

Evangelism is a relay race

of a network of friendships

and relationships.

We run our part

and pass the baton on to another

who may lead that

"Yet To Know Christ"

person to Christ.

Where do we find

"Yet To Know Christ"

people?

1st Place - HOME

2nd Place - WORK

3rd Place - THIRD PLACES

(cafes, coffee shops, little league, clubs)

That's where they are.

That's where we are.

Nav Conference Notes

LIVING AMONG THE LOST

The Need Of Our Times:

EVERYDAY PEOPLE

knowing Jesus & loving Jesus & helping other

EVERDAY PEOPLE

knowing Jesus & loving Jesus.

"When Jesus looked out over the crowds, his heart broke. They are so confused and aimless...like sheep with no shepherd. What a huge harvest! He said to his disciples, 'How few the workers! Pray for more harvest workers!'"

FOUR CHARACTERISTICS

of

EVERYDAY PEOPLE:

1. LIVING LIFE OUT OF BROKENNESS.

2. NEEDING & PURSUING TRANSFORMATION.

3. EXPERIENCING COMMUNITY.

4. LIVING MISSIONALLY AS GOD'S DESIGN FOR US.

Why I Love The Bible - Deuteronomy!

MOSES

His Last Sermon

Deuteronomy is a sermon - the longest sermon in the Bible!

MOSES

The setting is stirring... emotion-packed.

MOSES

Takes God's Word... Takes Human Experiences...

Then reproduces them into this present moment.

The complete range of human experience

is brought to life and salvation

by the revelation of God:

LIVE THIS...NOW!

MOSES

Closes with a charge...

Closes with a song...

Closes with a blessing...

To launch them into TODAY'S obedience and believing!

LET'S GO!

MOSES

Leaves his pulpit on the plains...

Climbs a montain...

And dies.

Eyesight as sharp as ever,

Walking with a spring in his step,

Still brimming with words and life.
