How did the Israelites react to the news that God was not going to be with them any longer? How would you react if God abandoned you? Pastor Johnny reminds us that the majority of the world already lives as if God doesn’t exist… and that’s the problem!

What had life been like for the Israelites until this point in time? Were they God-fearing people? What happened to cause them to stray?

How is your prayer life? When do you pray? Pastor Johnny urges us to pray without ceasing and without distractions.

Why is it easier to serve God when life is easy? Pastor Johnny shares about a church member who had committed a crime and his last act before turning himself in was to attend church. He knew his actions had consequences, but he trusted God in the hard time.

QUESTIONS / ISSUES DISCUSSED:

What is “the secret place”? “God’s face is the essence of who He is. God’s hand is the blessing of what He does. God’s face represents His person and presence. God’s hand expresses His provision for needs in our lives. I have learned that if all we ever do is seek God’s hand, we may miss his face; but if we seek His face, He will be glad to open His hand and satisfy the deepest desires of our heart.” Author Daniel Henderson

How can we find joy in the presence of God when we are experiencing tough situations? (Psalm 16:5-6,11, Psalm 46; 4; John 4:13-14)

FACT: At the time of war as recorded in 2 Kings, Jerusalem did not have a river running through it. So how did the army survive? Listen as Pastor Kal shares the amazing story!

QUESTIONS / ISSUES DISCUSSED

Pastor Jarrett begins the sermon telling of his recent family trip on a Disney Cruise.

Where was Jesus before he died on the cross and was resurrected? He was in Jericho, where he met Zacchaeus. Pastor Jarrett reads from the Scripture passage and explains the economy of Jericho and why Jesus was passing through the city on his way to Jerusalem.

Who was Zacchaeus? Why couldn’t he see Jesus?

QUESTIONS / ISSUES DISCUSSED:

Yesterday, RT Kendall closed the segment sharing about a woman in his congregation who had done something horrible to a child. He knew she had done it. Others knew she had done it. He didn’t want to forgive her. What was the message he heard from God through the Holy Spirit? What was he to do? Has God blessed him in return? Can and will God do it for you?

What are you doing with your gift from God? RT Kendall reminds us that it’s hard to serve God fully with unforgiveness in our heart…

QUESTIONS / ISSUES DISCUSSED:

How can we know if we have totally forgiven someone?
Don’t remind them of what they’ve done. What if someone doesn’t know they need your forgiveness? RT Kendall says to forgive them anyway – and pray for blessings on them, too! WOW! What a thought…

How can we know if we have totally forgiven someone?
Just “save face” – protect them and cover for them.
After all, Jesus did for you! And Joseph did it for his brothers – the guys who sold him into slavery!

How can we know if we have totally forgiven someone?
Protect them from their darkest secret.
Why wouldn’t Joseph let his brothers tell Jacob what they did years ago?

How can we know if we have totally forgiven someone?
It’s a life secret.
When Jacob died, why were the brothers afraid that Joseph would finally take his revenge?
Should we really keep praying for them ten years from now? RT Kendall is very firm in this: YES!

RT Kendall closes the segment today sharing about a woman in his congregation who had done something horrible to a child. He didn’t want to forgive her. What was the message he heard from God through the Holy Spirit?

QUESTIONS / ISSUES DISCUSSED:

How can we know if we have totally forgiven someone?
Don’t tell anybody what they did.
Ouch! That is HARD!
But remember: No one else may ever know, but God knows!

RT Kendall continues to share the story of Joseph’s forgiveness of his brothers.
Why did he forgive them?
Did the people in Egypt know what his brothers had done?
Wouldn’t the people hate his brothers as Joseph did at one time if they knew the truth?

Is it ever okay to tell someone else about your trouble with forgiveness? RT Kendall believes there are two: tell one person for therapeutic reasons and a court of law during a criminal proceeding.

Couples: How often do you “point the finger” at your spouse? Why? What good does it do? RT Kendall says to STOP IT! (1 Corinthians 13:5)

How can we know if we have totally forgiven someone?
Don’t remind them of what they’ve done.
This is a hard one, too!
But what if someone doesn’t even know they have hurt you? Tune in tomorrow as RT Kendall expands on this…

We are commanded to forgive others – even our enemies! Why is forgiveness so hard for us, though – total and utter forgiveness? RT Kendall shares about a dark time that he and his wife suffered through, which turned out to be the best thing that quite possibly could have happened! He also admits that his suffering might seem small compared to others’ suffering. He says: “The angels have a special word for you: ‘Congratulations’! … You have a promise of blessing! … Don’t hold a grudge and give the devil an entry point!” Amen! (2 Corinthians 2:11)

FUN FACT: March 5, 2023, marked Pastor Jarrett’s 20th year as a Pastor! Amazing!

What do you remember about the story of Joseph? Do remember his father, Jacob, being a “bad dad”? How was Jacob a “bad dad”? How and why was Joseph arrogant? Did this bother his brothers? What did his brothers do in retaliation? How did their father Jacob react to the news that Joseph was “dead”? Why were the brothers sent to Egypt? Who did they meet in Egypt? Had Joseph’s attitude toward his brothers?

Tomorrow, RT Kendall shares about a dark time that he and his wife suffered through, which turned out to be the best thing that quite possibly could have happened!

Scripture Passage: Philippians 1:3-11

Questions/Issues Discussed:

Why was Paul thinking about the Philippians? He probably had a thousand other things on his mind, but he chose to purposefully and passionately tell them he was thinking of them. When is the last time you told someone “Hey – I’ve been thinking about you”?

Does God think about US? More importantly, WHY would God think about US?

Pastor Riling shares a story about Dave Busby, whose body was broken, but his spirit was alive!

Has God put someone on your heart to pray for? Don’t ignore that nudge – and tell that person you are praying for them. It can be such an encouragement.

We all have many acquaintances, but how many good friends do you have – someone you can call at 2 am? How and why are good friendships important to our walk with Christ?

Why did Jesus talk so much about love? Is this what Paul was conveying to the Philippians in this letter?

Why was Paul thinking about the Philippians? He probably had a thousand other things on his mind, but he chose to purposefully and passionately tell them he was thinking of them. When is the last time you told someone “Hey – I’ve been thinking about you”?

This week, Champion Forest Baptist Church Student Pastor Steven Morris will be encouraging us, as adults and mentors, to invest in the lives in the generation coming behind us.

Questions/Issues Discussed:

Why should we ALL come to Jesus with the attitude and heart of a child?

John Piper says this about children: “Children display in their dependence the way into the Kingdom of God.” Do you feel like you need to “earn” God’s love and grace? Stop it! Just accept it and live for Him!

How did you come to faith in Christ? Have you shared your salvation story with your kids? You should!

Are you bringing others to a saving knowledge of Christ? Pastor Steven Morris warns us that sometimes are “inactions” are seen more than our “actions”. Don’t be an inactive Christian.

The Lord works in wonderful ways! Listen as Pastor Steven Morris talks with several students who attended Vacation Bible School at Champion Forest Baptist.
