Hope has a Voice

People in institutions loose proper thinking. They become hopeless.
Acts 27:13-17. Living not for Christ, we are sailing through life doing what we want.  Then the weather changes abruptly.  Can go from calm then, a storm hits and God has our attention.  Broken we came to Jesus. Some people are somewhat together, but not living for God.  We are to invest our lives to help others. If you could start over, what would you change?  We need to learn to listen to God.  If we are empty, all we need is Christ!!!!

Life's Refill's

The unexpected can take place even when Jesus is there.
John 2:1-11  They needed a refill.  We need a refill sometimes. With God all things are possible.
We need to set boundaries in our marriage, family, and home.
The world will See our witness, when they see God in us.
What has God been telling you to do?  Our attitude should be in having great hearing in what God says.  It has to be priority.  We need to minister to people no matter how we feel. Need to be a channel for God.    We need to fill our life to the brim with God!!!!!

"It's Time for New Wine"

John 2:1-5  They ran out of wine.   When crisis comes we blame everything on the crisis.  Everyone was taking, no one was giving.
Couples turn on each other instead of turning to each other for help. We discover what we are made of.  Our marriages can run dry also. Fail to keep boundaries. No joy, empty. People walk away from their marriages all the time.  There's an attack on our oneness. We need to handle crisis together, and not distance ourselves.  Two are better than one.  We need to work together.

Excellence

Is going beyond the norm or the average.
Not just doing what you can do to get by in your walk with God.
Having compassion about God. And not just filled with yourself.
Attitude can affect our Christianity and how we live our life.
Mark 12:30   We are to love God with all our heart, soul, mind, and strength!!!!

Living beyond our bad decisions

We do make bad decisions!!
Joshua 9:1-2. Making a commitment to reestablish.  There's power in unity.
The enemy uses people, and fights against anything that will encourage us.
We need each other. Our church family and have regular attendance. And stay right!!!!
Beware of making decisions on what you see.

What does God's favor mean....

Luke 1:28   God spoke to Mary.  Shockingly, unbelievable. She was favored.  Mary needed to participate in what God was doing. No matter what anyone thought.
God's favor means, we are not alone in this world to face life by ourselves.
We are never promised a pain free life, but faith to overcome.

Simple things we can do.

Mal. 2:16 Guard your heart. Do not be unfaithful to your wife. NLB
Simple things we can do!!
Choosing to make God's will priority.
Take time to talk to God in prayer.  You will change.
Take time to talk to each other.
