God's people are to be primarily producers. His command to them from the beginning was to be fruitful and multiply. In Hosea 10, the prophet calls the backsliding 10 tribes of Israel to repentance, to turn back to the true God from idols, and in righteousness with God's blessing to produce the fruits of righteousness such as mercy. This is a message for God's people today who have hardened their hearts and who produce little or nothing from what God has given them.

Joshua brings Israel together at Shechem to renew the covenant and offers them a choice, serve the idols of the land or the one true God. We all worship something, it is hardwired into us, and if you are not serving God, then you are serving something (self, money, power, position, looks, alcohol, drugs, work, health, sex, environment, children--something). We cannot simply say, "God forbid" No, we must serve only the Lord by renouncing all competitors, for he is a jealous God and serving in fear, sincerity, and truth. We also cannot do it alone; we need the Lord's help. Let us follow the example of Joshua and say, "But as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord."

It's a hard truth but it's a fact. Life is full of trials and God uses those trials to forge us into the person of Christ. It's a lifelong process with the end of each trial producing greater results, if we submit to Him as Peter admonishes us in our closing reading. Also Reference: Psalm 7:9, 1 Petr 4:15-19 https://bbfohio.com

How God Fix's Broken Hearts! Psalm 34:15-22 David spoke directly to the needs of his depressed companions, assuring them that the Lord cared about their souls; that is, their feelings and emotional well-being. When our hearts are broken and our spirits are contrite or crushed, ground to powder—He is near. He comes to us when we are hurting, and invites us to cast our heavy burden upon Him.Psalm 34 begins in a cave and ends at Calvary! David's message to his dejected band of outcasts is our message to the world today: Regardless of what we have done, we can be delivered through the sacrificial death of God's Son on the cross. He bore our sin in His body, and we can live righteously through the power of His sacrifice.

From Herman Hanko's book, The Mysteries of The Kingdom and the scripture upon which it is based, we hear of: The Kingdom's "Insignificant" Beginning The Kingdom's Invisible Growth The Kingdom's Marvelous End All this comes from the parable of the mustard seed and the parable of the leaven as found in Matthew 13.

The grace of faith, whereby the elect are enabled to believe to the saving of their souls, is the work of the Spirit of Christ in their hearts, and is ordinarily wrought by the ministry of the Word, by which also, and by the administration of baptism and the Lord's Supper, prayer, and other means appointed of God, it is increased and strengthened.

IN this sermon, we think about the power of the Word. We remember the Word is quick and powerful. I think through my own struggles to trust in my own abilities instead of trusting in the power of the Word of God.

Attached PDF is the Devotional for preparatory week to the Lord's Supper next Sunday. As we gather this Lord's day we continue in Mark 10 and consider the shocking response of the disciples to the teaching of the Lord on receiving salvation. They want to be served and to have their wishes fulfilled rather than serving the Lord and doing all as servants in His kingdom. This is a very contemporary text - Mark 10.35-45.Scripture Reading: Mark 10:35-45 Text: Mark 10.35-45 Message: "Requesting Greatness; Requiring Humility" Theme: Ignorant pride from the disciples brings the Lord's rebuke and call to humility Ignorance in the two leads to an expression of pride The Lord rebukes James and John and presses knowledge into their hearts Ignorance in the ten leads to an equally prideful action The Lord rebukes the church about a worldly mindset over kingdom service
