Do you over-value the seen over the unseen? So our belief of God is based in the ability to see him, know him, understand him, discern what he is doing. Just show me you are moving, just show me miracles, signs and wonders. 8 “Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.” Mt 5:8 ESV What is a pure heart? PURE (KATHAROS) & HEART (KARDIA) PURE HEART (KATHAROS KARDIA) The good life is for those who have been pruned to the deepest part of their being. Allow God to enter into those deepest parts of your life and prune it back, prepare you, do a deep work in you. Hard Heart or Pure Heart? God is not that hard to find

Now the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain to which Jesus had directed them. And when they saw him they worshiped him, but some doubted. And Jesus came and said to them, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptising them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.” Matthew 28:16-20
Sun, 14 Jan 2024 - 34min - 631 - Fertile Ground | Doug Pors
Parable of the Farmer, or sower.
Matthew 13: 1-23.
The parable was used by Jesus to tell an earthly story with a Kingdom meaning.
The farmer or sower is a representation of God the Father.
He is the one who sows the seed, not us.
Jesus speaks about four kinds of ground. Hard, rocky, thorny and good.
As Jesus jewish hearers would have wanted to know which of the grounds they identify with, we are asked the same question. Which ground am I?
The message of the Kingdom and the message of the Gospel.
Jesus explains the parable to the disciples and speaks about the message of the Kingdom. The fact that God wants us! Wants relationship with us. Wants us to be close to him.
The Apostles’ message was about the message of the Gospel, in which Jesus offers himself to make the Kingdom message possible!
The four grounds. Jesus compares the ground to our hearts and the seed is Holy Spirit.
The hard ground.
When our hearts have been trampled, we become hard and resistant to the Spirit. Just like Hard ground is resistant to the rain. The evil one can easily snatch us away from becoming soft and receptive to God.
The rocky ground.
When our circumstances keep us from being receptive to the planting of the Spirit in us , we need to remember that Jesus has come so that His new covenant erases the need to see our circumstances as God’s response to us.
We have gone from circumstantial to relational.
The thorny ground.
When the worries of life draw us away from God and our propensity to be lured by our comfort and wealth to satisfy, we struggle to surrender to Holy Spirit as he invites us into relationship with him.
Jesus tells us earlier in Matthew not to worry about the daily needs we have.
What are the weeds we need to confess and be accountable to removing?
The good soil.
Jesus speaks about the harvest that will come from good soil.
This harvest will be the fruit of the Spirit that God the Farmer plants in the good soil of our hearts. As this fruit is seen in action by people around us, they too will be invited to make their hearts good soil for the planting of the Spirit, by God.
It’s not about activity, it’s about proximity.
The closer we position ourselves to God, by Prayer that is open, honest and authentic, the more we will be empowered by our relationship with Him.
The things that we do, prayer time devotionals, Small groups, going to church, won’t bring us closer to God, as we get closer to God we find ourselves responding to his love with a desire to speak with him, learning about his word, being in community.
These are the responses to being in a close relationship with him.
Lets spend this next few weeks becoming the good soil that Jesus can plant his Spirit in for 2024.

Sun, 3 Dec 2023 - 31min - 626 - Good, Pleasing, Perfect | Matt Destry
26/11/2023 - Matthew Destry Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship. Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will. Romans 12:1-2 What is an acceptable offering to God? Now Adam knew Eve his wife, and she conceived and bore Cain, saying, “I have gotten a man with the help of the Lord.” 2 And again, she bore his brother Abel. Now Abel was a keeper of sheep, and Cain a worker of the ground. 3 In the course of time Cain brought to the Lord an offering of the fruit of the ground, 4 and Abel also brought of the firstborn of his flock and of their fat portions. And the Lord had regard for Abel and his offering, 5 but for Cain and his offering he had no regard. So Cain was very angry, and his face fell. 6 The Lord said to Cain, “Why are you angry, and why has your face fallen? 7 If you do well, will you not be accepted? And if you do not do well, sin is crouching at the door. Its desire is contrary to you, but you must rule over it.” Genesis 4:1-7 a/ What is God’s mercy? “Two men went up to the temple to pray, one a Pharisee and the other a tax collector. 11 The Pharisee stood by himself and prayed: ‘God, I thank you that I am not like other people—robbers, evildoers, adulterers—or even like this tax collector. 12 I fast twice a week and give a tenth of all I get.’ 13 “But the tax collector stood at a distance. He would not even look up to heaven, but beat his breast and said, ‘God, have mercy on me, a sinner.’ 14 “I tell you that this man, rather than the other, went home justified before God. For all those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted.” Luke 18:10-14 b/ What is true worship? Sacrifice “I desired mercy, and not sacrifice; and the knowledge of God more than burnt offerings” Hosea 6:6 Reasonable service The son of God – a living sacrifice “How can the body become a sacrifice? Let the eye look on no evil, and it is a sacrifice. Let the tongue utter nothing base, and it is an offering. Let the hand work no sin, and it is a burnt offering. But more, this suffices not, but besides we must actively exert ourselves for good; the hand giving alms, the mouth blessing them that curse us, the ear ever at leisure for listening to God” (Chrysostom). c/ The proper use of the mind — to know God’s will 1/ Good 2/ Pleasing 3/ Perfect (complete)

What is the cause of international conflict and where is God in the midst of it all? Genesis 25:24-33 This prophetic poem, the shortest book in the Old Testament, is addressed to the people of Edom, and shows us just how bad things can get when brothers turn against each other. This prolonged antagonism between Judah and Edom is in evidence in Obadiah, serving as the prophecy’s framework. It serves as a cautionary tale to us about watching our relationships and living with humility. The vision of Obadiah… a/ Who will bring me down to the ground? Edom leaning on their strength: the danger of pride. b/ A word to the ‘wise’ Edom leaning on their own wisdom: the danger of knowledge. c/ Where are you now when I need you? Remember, O Lord, what the Edomites did on the day Jerusalem fell. ‘Tear it down,’ they cried, ‘tear it down to its foundations!’ (Psalm 137:7). Sins of omission and sins of commission: when doing nothing is worse than doing something d/ Your wine shall turn to poison God’s justice is coming: be ready e/ God is King A new kingdom: not David, not Israel, but the Lord. Empathy Romans 12:15-16 Rejoice with those who rejoice; mourn with those who mourn. 16 Live in harmony with one another. Do not be proud, but be willing to associate with people of low position. Responsibility Galatians 6:10 So then, as we have opportunity, let us do good to everyone, and especially to those who are of the household of faith. Story Hebrews 12:14-17 Strive for peace with everyone, and for the holiness without which no one will see the Lord. See to it that no one fails to obtain the grace of God; that no “root of bitterness” springs up and causes trouble, and by it many become defiled; that no one is sexually immoral or unholy like Esau, who sold his birthright for a single meal. For you know that afterward, when he desired to inherit the blessing, he was rejected, for he found no chance to repent, though he sought it with tears.

Philemon, written by Paul to his friend in ministry. The letter is sent personally to Philemon but most of Paul’s letters, were addressed to churches to be read out to the members in which ever house they met in. Philemon hosted and possibly led a vibrant house church in Colossae Paul greets Philemon’s family, his wife Apphia and son Archippus and also the Church that meets in their house, but the subject of the letter is for Philemon.

Colossians 3: 1 – 21
NIV & MSG translations
CONTEXT:
Written by Paulwriting from prison60-62 AD, approximately 25-30 years after Jesus’ ministryPaul never visited them himself but learned of their challenges through his friend Ephaphras, the church’s founder.Community grappling with these false teachings and cultural pressuresThree pressures there were facing:
- Gnosticism: everything in the body bad but everything spirit good, separation of the twoPressure to submit to strict Torah rules by the Jews like circumcision, dietary laws and festival ritualsPolytheism: Jesus was just another of many gods they were worshipping
Paul writes to the church to makes sure Jesus was the centre of all faith and religious experience.
Is Jesus at the centre of our lives or is he just an ‘add on’ to our already busy and full schedules?
How do we let Jesus word have the RUN OF THE HOUSE?
In our householdsIn our wider church community?What are some ill-fitting things that God might want to take off us today? What have we grown out of? What things are not serving us any more?
God is calling us to clothe ourselves in:
- COMPASSION:
How can we cultivate a compassion of the heart, one that goes beyond mere sympathy and resonates in the depths of our being, like the “pit of our stomach,” so that we can truly understand the meaning of being “broken-hearted” and “gut-wrenched” for the sake of others?
- KINDNESS:
How can we actively cultivate a “helpful spirit” within ourselves, ensuring that our kindness is not just a passive attitude but a force for positive change in our interactions and deeds?
- HUMILITY:
How can we cultivate and practice the quality of humility in our lives, adopting a mindset of “lowly thinking,”?
- GENTLENESS:
Where might there be a power imbalance in my relationships? Where might God be inviting me to show gentleness or power in restraint too this week?
- PATIENCE:
What areas of my life do I need to practice having “long fuse” rather than a “short fuse”? What might God be teaching me through developing patience?
- Above all these – LOVE:
How can I embody the selfless, unconditional love of Christ to those around me this week?
People thrive when we are seen, noticed, heard and valued.
One tool to use in conjunction to these garments/values we put on: VALIDATION
Validation is the process of learning about, understanding, or expressing acceptance for another person’s emotional experience. What validation is not involves agreeing with everything someone says, nor does it mean we always believe the other person’s emotional response is warranted. Instead, it’s about demonstrating that we understand how others are feeling without trying to talk them out of their emotions or shame them for feeling that way.
What hand-me-downs are we going to pass down to the next generation?

Why do bad things happen to good people? “The genius of Christianity is that religion by itself makes you as bad as everybody else. In fact religion can make it worse, because it can make you a Pharisee, but the doctrine of the grace of God says that you’re saved by sheer grace. That humbles you but affirms you at the same time. You’re so bad that Jesus had to die for you, but so loved that Jesus was willing to die for you”. -Timothy Keller

We are designed for relationship with each person of the Godhead – with every part of who God is. When part of that is missing or lacking in some way we miss out on the fullness and the depth of that relationship.

And immediately all the doors were opened, and everyone’s bonds were unfastened. 27 When the jailer woke and saw that the prison doors were open, he drew his sword and was about to kill himself, supposing that the prisoners had escaped. 28 But Paul cried with a loud voice, “Do not harm yourself, for we are all here.” 29 And the jailer[a] called for lights and rushed in, and trembling with fear he fell down before Paul and Silas. 30 Then he brought them out and said, “Sirs, what must I do to be saved?” 31 And they said, “Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved, you and your household.” 32 And they spoke the word of the Lord to him and to all who were in his house. 33 And he took them the same hour of the night and washed their wounds; and he was baptized at once, he and all his family. 34 Then he brought them up into his house and set food before them. And he rejoiced along with his entire household that he had believed in God. Taking your life or giving it to Christ

Sun, 5 Mar 2023 - 43min - 569 - The story that holds all stories | Matt Destry
Data tells us what things are, stories tell us what things mean. One big truth: there is one unifying story that envelops all of human history, and it finds its beginning, middle and end in the person of Jesus. One cultural crossing: We are servants, not superstars We are His church, living out His mission in the world, awaiting (and hastening) His return What does the story require of us? How are we best found in the story? A Biblical narrative template: Creation — Fall — Recreation (Freedom, slavery, redemption)

The rhythm of work and rest was created by God and embedded in the creation story. God modelled a rhythm of rest to us from the beginning of time. God didn’t rest because he was tired – He’s God – he doesn’t get tired. So what was the purpose of this rest? To stop, to step back and to delight the creative work he had just completed. (He saw that it was good!). Everything God does is intentional.
