Jeremiah 29:11 NLT

For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.

Key #1 - Trusting the Plan requires Faith, Not full Understanding

Genesis 12:1 NIV

“The Lord had said to Abram, ‘Go from your country, your people and your father’s household to the land I will show you.’”

Genesis 17:4

As for me, this is my covenant with you: You will be the father of many nations.

Key #2 - Control leads to Chaos

Genesis 16:1-4 NIV

Now Sarai, Abram’s wife, had borne him no children. But she had an Egyptian slave named Hagar; 2 so she said to Abram, “The Lord has kept me from having children. Go, sleep with my slave; perhaps I can build a family through her.”

Abram agreed to what Sarai said. 3 So after Abram had been living in Canaan ten years, Sarai his wife took her Egyptian slave Hagar and gave her to her husband to be his wife. 4 He slept with Hagar, and she conceived.

When she knew she was pregnant, she began to despise her mistress.

Key #3 - Don’t doubt in the Delay

Genesis 18:10 NIV

Then one of them said, “I will surely return to you about this time next year, and Sarah your wife will have a son.”

Now Sarah was listening at the entrance to the tent, which was behind him.

Key #4 - God's game plan Is Perfect & Complete

Genesis 21:1-2 NIV

“Now the Lord was gracious to Sarah as he had said, and the Lord did for Sarah what he had promised. Sarah became pregnant and bore a son to Abraham in his old age, at the very time God had promised him.”

Psalm 145:8-9 NIV

The Lord is gracious and compassionate, slow to anger and rich in love. The Lord is good to all; he has compassion on all he has made.

Leviticus 16:3-10 6 "Aaron is to offer the bull for his own sin offering to make atonement for himself and his household. 7 Then he is to take the two goats and present them before the Lord at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting. 8 He is to cast lots for the two goats--one lot for the Lord and the other for the scapegoat. CONTEXT Two Goats— *The goat for the Lord *The goat for the scapegoat *Azazel—Take him away; A weapon in the hand of the enemy 9 Aaron shall bring the goat whose lot falls to the Lord and sacrifice it for a sin offering. 10 But the goat chosen by lot as the scapegoat shall be presented alive before the Lord to be used for making atonement by sending it into the desert as a scapegoat. The Goat for the Lord *Malah—Laying on of hands *The Press—Gethsemene *It is finished *Don’t touch me *Washing the hands Leviticus 16:20-22 20 "When Aaron has finished making atonement for the Most Holy Place, the Tent of Meeting and the altar, he shall bring forward the live goat. 21 He is to lay both hands on the head of the live goat and confess over it all the wickedness and rebellion of the Israelites--all their sins--and put them on the goat's head. He shall send the goat away into the desert in the care of a man appointed for the task. 22 The goat will carry on itself all their sins to a solitary place; and the man shall release it in the desert. Leviticus 16:26 The man who releases the goat as a scapegoat must wash his clothes and bathe himself with water; afterward he may come into the camp. The Goat for Azazel *Malah—Laying on of hands *Attaching sins to the head *The walk through the crowd *Releasing into the desert *The cord turns white He then fastened a scarlet woolen thread to the head of the goat "for Azazel"; and laying his hands upon it again, recited the following confession of sin and prayer for forgiveness: "O Lord, I have acted iniquitously, trespassed, sinned before You: I, my household, and the sons of Aaron Your holy ones. O Lord, forgive the iniquities, transgressions, and sins that I, my household, and Aaron's children, Your holy people, committed before You… ….as is written in the law of Moses, Your servant, 'for on this day He will forgive you, to cleanse you from all your sins before the Lord; you will be clean.'" John 19:14-15 14 It was the day of Preparation of Passover Week, about the sixth hour. "Here is your king," Pilate said to the Jews. 15 But they shouted, "Take him away! Take him away! Crucify him!" Matthew 27:24 24 When Pilate saw that he was getting nowhere, but that instead an uproar was starting, he took water and washed his hands in front of the crowd. "I am innocent of this man's blood," he said. "It is your responsibility!" Hebrews 10:11-12 11 Day after day every priest stands and performs his religious duties; again and again he offers the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins. 12 But when this priest had offered for all time one sacrifice for sins, he sat down at the right hand of God. 1 John 2:1-2 (NIV) 1 My dear children, I write this to you so that you will not sin. But if anybody does sin, we have one who speaks to the Father in our defense--Jesus Christ, the Righteous One. 2 He is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not only for ours but also for the sins of the whole world.

Friends Giving 1:08:48

Friend: Someone that we hold dear that we are Actively fond of… Real friendship is giving and taking. Friendship is not a one-way railway. Job 19:14 ESV My relatives have failed me, my close friends have forgotten me. Proverbs 12:26 NIV The righteous choose their friends carefully, but the way of the wicked leads them astray. 2 Corinthians 6:14 NLT Don’t team up with those who are unbelievers. How can righteousness be a partner with wickedness? How can light live with darkness? Proverbs 27:6 TLB Wounds from a friend are better than kisses from an enemy! Luke 15:35 NLT Jesus told them this story: “If a man Has 100 sheep and one of them gets lost, what will he do? Won’t he leave the 99 others in the wilderness And go search for the one that is lost until he finds it? And when he has found it, he will joyfully carry it home on his shoulders.” Luke 15:6 NLT When he arrives, he will call together his friends and neighbors, saying, ‘Rejoice with me because I have found my lost sheep.’ Matthew 5:14-15 NIV “You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead, they put it on a stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house.” Matthew 5:16 NIV In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven. John 15:12–14 NLT This is my commandment: Love each other in the same way I have loved you. There is no greater love than to lay down one’s life for one’s friends. You are my friends if you do what I command. Proverbs 17:17 EXB A friend loves you all the time, and a brother helps—in and is born for a time of trouble.…

Seed 1:11:21

1:11:21

Mark 4:1 NLT Once again Jesus began teaching by the lakeshore. A very large crowd soon gathered around him, so he got into a boat. Then he sat in the boat while all the people remained on the shore. He taught them by telling many stories in the form of parables, such as this one: “Listen! A farmer went out (stepped out) to plant some seed. Soil #1 the hard heart "what got on it?” Mark 4:4 NLT As he scattered it across his field, (today UR MY Field) some of the seed fell on a footpath, and the birds came and ate it. Soil #2 the shallow heart “what got UNDER it?” Mark 4:5-6 NLT Other seed fell on shallow soil with underlying rock. The seed sprouted quickly because the soil was shallow. But the plant soon wilted under the hot sun, and since it didn’t have deep roots, it died. Soil #3 the crowded heart “what got IN it?” Mark 4:7 NLT Other seed fell among thorns that grew up and choked out the tender plants so they produced no grain. Soil #4 the fruitful heart “What’s not in it” Mark 4:8 NLT Still other seeds fell on fertile soil, and they sprouted, grew, and produced a crop that was thirty, sixty, and even a hundred times as much as had been planted!” Mark 4:9 NLT Then he said, “Anyone with ears to hear should listen and understand.” Mark 4:10 NLT Later, when Jesus was alone with the twelve disciples and with the others who were gathered around, they asked him what the parables meant. Mark 4:13 NLT Then Jesus said to them, "If you can't understand the meaning of this parable, how will you understand all the other parables? Mark 4:14 NLT The farmer plants seed by taking God's word to others. Mark 4:15 NLT The seed that fell on the footpath represents those who hear the message, only to have Satan come at once and take it away. Mark 4:16-17 NLT The seed on the rocky soil represents those who hear the message and immediately receive it with joy. But since they don't have deep roots, they don't last long. They fall away as soon as they have problems or are persecuted for believing God's word. Mark 4:18-19 MSG "The seed cast in the weeds represents the ones who hear the kingdom news but are overwhelmed with worries about all the things they have to do and all the things they want to get. The stress strangles what they heard, and nothing comes of it. Mark 4:20 NLT And the seed that fell on good soil represents those who hear and accept God's word and produce a harvest of thirty, sixty, or even a hundred times as much as had been planted!” Mark 4:27 NLT Jesus also said, “The Kingdom of God is like a farmer who scatters seed on the ground. Night and day, while he’s asleep or awake, the seed sprouts and grows, but he does not understand how it happens.…

Have seven priests carry seven ram’s horn trumpets in front of the Chest. On the seventh day march around the city seven times, the priests blowing away on the trumpets.

REST IN HIS PROMISES 1:10:31

25 weeks ago1:10:31

1:10:31

Key scripture: HEBREWS 4:1-2 (NLT) God’s promise of entering his rest still stands, so we ought to tremble with fear that some of you might fail to experience it. 2 For this good news—that God has prepared this rest—has been announced to us just as it was to them. But it did them no good because they didn’t share the faith of those who listened to God. Matthew 11: 28-30 (MSG) 28-30 “Are you tired? Worn out? Burned out on religion? Come to me. Get away with me and you’ll recover your life. I’ll show you how to take a real rest. Walk with me and work with me—watch how I do it. Learn the unforced rhythms of grace. I won’t lay anything heavy or ill-fitting on you. Keep company with me and you’ll learn to live freely and lightly.” PSALM 127: 1-2 1 Unless the Lord builds a house, the work of the builders is wasted. Unless the Lord protects a city, guarding it with sentries will do no good. 2 It is useless for you to work so hard from early morning until late at night, anxiously working for food to eat; for God gives rest to his loved ones. Matthew 6:19 (NLT) “Don’t store up treasures here on earth, where moths eat them and rust destroys them, and where thieves break in and steal. Philippians 4:13 (NKJV) I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. Philippians 4: 11-13 (NLT) 11 Not that I was ever in need, for I have learned how to be content with whatever I have. 12 I know how to live on almost nothing or with everything. I have learned the secret of living in every situation, whether it is with a full stomach or empty, with plenty or little. 13 For I can do everything through Christ, who gives me strength. LUKE 15:20 (NLT) “So he returned home to his father. And while he was still a long way off, his father saw him coming. Filled with love and compassion, he ran to his son, embraced him, and kissed him.…
