WHAT IS IN YOUR CUP WILL SPILL OUT

Discussed by Sara Tracey
with The What's UP Radio Program

You are holding a cup of coffee when someone comes along and bumps into you or shakes your arm, making you spill your coffee everywhere. Why did you spill the coffee? "Because someone bumped into me!!!" Wrong answer.

You spilled the coffee because there was coffee in your cup. Had there been tea in the cup, you would have spilled tea. Whatever is inside the cup is what will spill out.

Therefore, when life comes along and shakes you (which WILL happen), whatever is inside you will come out. It's easy to fake it, until you get rattled.

So we have to ask ourselves: “What's in my cup?" When life gets tough, what spills over? Joy, gratefulness, peace and humility? Anger, bitterness, harsh words and reactions?

Life provides the cup. You choose how to fill it. Today let's work towards filling our cups with gratitude, forgiveness, joy, words of affirmation and kindness, gentleness, and love for others.

THE MARRIAGE PRINCIPLE

Discussed by Mark Lanier
with Biblical Literacy (www.Biblical-Literacy.com)

Day 1

Over the past several weeks, as part of his lesson series on Romans, Mark Lanier has looked at Romans 6 and Paul’s warning to the people (and to us) about the consequence of sin. This week, he begins to break down Paul’s interjection of the law in Romans 7, specifically the changes in the marriage law in the Torah before Christ and what it means now after the death, burial, and resurrection of Christ.

To view Mark Lanier’s video for this lesson, click here.

If you have a prayer request, need Scripture encouragement, or would like a copy of Mark’s lessons each week, email wantmore@biblical-literacy.org

QUESTIONS / ISSUES DISCUSSED:

What/who are some of the major influencers in Mark’s life? Listen as he reminisces about meeting his sweet wife, Becky, in high school – and shares some great pictures, which can be found at the 24-minute mark at the link above.

Why is Romans 7 considered to be the most debated chapter in the Bible? What are some of the arguments scholars make? Mark discusses the theme of the Book of Romans, using a legal analogy of the justice of God.

How did Paul explain the Gospel of Christ? How is his explanation different than others? Mark shares some advice his old college professor, Charles Mickey, gave him years ago when he first taught on the Book of Romans.

A TRIUMPHANT FAITH

Discussed by Pastor Jarrett Stephens
with Champion Forest Baptist Church (www.ChampionForest.org)

Day 1

MANY PEOPLE – EVEN CHRISTIANS – ARE TEMPTED TO BELIEVE THAT HAVING A CHRISTIAN FAITH MEANS THAT LIFE WILL BE ALL SUNSHINE AND RAINBOWS. NO PROBLEMS. NO BAD STUFF. IT’S ALL GOOD. WRONG!

Over the past few months, Pastor Jarrett Stephens has been telling stories about ordinary people who trusted God in extraordinary ways from the Book of Hebrews. And maybe – just maybe – you have been challenged to step beyond complacency and embrace a faith that is active, resilient, and fully surrendered.

There are just a few weeks left of this fantastic series, and this week Pastor Jarrett looks at the final verses, breaking them down into three sections as he offers hope and encouragement as we live a Triumphant Faith.

Scripture Reference: Hebrews 11:32-40

Questions/Issues Discussed:

A FAITH THAT DELIVERS (vs 32-25a)

Why didn’t the author of Hebrews mention the accomplishments of Gideon, Barak, Samson, Jephthah, David, and Samuel? What did they all have in common? Pastor Jarrett gives a brief synopsis of each man, which he will conclude in tomorrow’s segment.

PRAYER

Discussed by Terry Lowry
with Host of the What's UP Radio Program

Heavenly Father,

I pause to draw near to you, thanking you for being with me in my life’s struggles.

As I drive, may I not hurt anyone or their property; keep me and my loved ones safe.

As I work, help me to focus on the task at hand and work heartily for you, Lord, not for men.

Open my eyes to see you more clearly. Open my ears to hear you more plainly. Open my heart to accept your love more abundantly.

Here I am, Father, fully loved by you and eternally forgiven.

Lord Jesus, shine through my words and actions.

Holy Spirit, guide all I do.

Until I cross the heavenly divide, may I not waste one grain of sand flowing through the hourglass allotted to this humble servant.

Accept my humble plea, which is lifted to your throne room in and through the name of Jesus,

Amen
