Worship With Confidence Preached at Scott Street Church, on Sunday, October 6, 2019 Scripture Reading Hebrews 10:19-25 "19 Therefore, brothers and sisters, since we have confidence to enter the Most Holy Place by the blood of Jesus, 20 by a new and living way opened for us through the curtain, that is, his body, 21 and since we have a great priest over the house of God, 22 let us draw near to God with a sincere heart and with the full assurance that faith brings, having our hearts sprinkled to cleanse us from a guilty conscience and having our bodies washed with pure water.  23 Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for he who promised is faithful. 24 And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds, 25 not giving up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another—and all the more as you see the Day approaching."

Made for Mission: We are Called Preached at Scott Street Church, on Sunday, September 29, 2019 Scripture Matthew 9:9 - 13 9 As Jesus went on from there, he saw a man named Matthew sitting at the tax collector’s booth. “Follow me,” he told him, and Matthew got up and followed him. 10 While Jesus was having dinner at Matthew’s house, many tax collectors and sinners came and ate with him and his disciples. 11 When the Pharisees saw this, they asked his disciples, “Why does your teacher eat with tax collectors and sinners?” 12 On hearing this, Jesus said, “It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick. 13 But go and learn what this means: ‘I desire mercy, not sacrifice.’[a] For I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners.” THEMES: - Using our gifts to serve in Christ’s mission - Service for Christ - Passion to serve - Purpose in life and faith - Communion If you have been touched by this message but have never invited Jesus Christ into your heart, today is the day of salvation dear friend.

The Keys of The Kingdom Preached at Scott Street Church, on Sunday, September 22, 2019 Scripture: Matthew 16:13-19 Jesus was talking with His disciples in Matthew 16, asking them what they had heard about who He was.  They had a variety of answers of what they had heard, but then Jesus gets more personal and asks them directly – who do YOU say that I am? Peter, inspired by God, answers correctly that Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of God, and Jesus then tells them all that this truth is what He would build His church on – the truth that Jesus was and is the Son of God. He then tells them that based on their understanding of this truth – this rock – that He would give them two special keys: one would loose the power of God on earth, and the other would bind up the power of God on earth.  Both of these keys are available still today – we have the power to set heaven’s power free on earth or to bind it up.  When we live our lives based on the rock of truth that Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of God, then thes

The Path: Dealing with Unreachable Destination Preached at Scott Street Church, on Sunday, September 15, 2019 SCRIPTURE: Proverbs 13:10-16 Where there is strife, there is pride, but wisdom is found in those who take advice. 11 Dishonest money dwindles away, but whoever gathers money little by little makes it grow. 12 Hope deferred makes the heart sick, but a longing fulfilled is a tree of life. 13 Whoever scorns instruction will pay for it, but whoever respects a command is rewarded. 14 The teaching of the wise is a fountain of life, turning a person from the snares of death. 15 Good judgment wins favour, but the way of the unfaithful leads to their destruction.[a] 16 All who are prudent act with[b] knowledge, but fools expose their folly.

Scripture reading: Proverbs 15: 22 – 31 Plans fail for lack of counsel, but with many advisers they succeed. 23 A person finds joy in giving an apt reply— and how good is a timely word! 24 The path of life leads upward for the prudent to keep them from going down to the realm of the dead. 25 The Lord tears down the house of the proud, but he sets the widow’s boundary stones in place. 26 The Lord detests the thoughts of the wicked, but gracious words are pure in his sight. 27 The greedy bring ruin to their households, but the one who hates bribes will live. 28 The heart of the righteous weighs its answers, but the mouth of the wicked gushes evil. 29 The Lord is far from the wicked, but he hears the prayer of the righteous. 30 Light in a messenger’s eyes brings joy to the heart, and good news gives health to the bones. 31 Whoever heeds life-giving correction will be at home among the wise. The themes are: God’s goodness in guiding our paths Living for Jesus Support and council from friends Making wise decisio

Scripture Gen. 41: 25-38 - Micah 6:8 Mathew 14:13-21 - What does the Lord require of you? Some thoughts about this message from our guest Speker, Tom Neufeld: "This, of course, is the famous line from the lesser prophet Micah. The message of the lesser prophets reminds the chosen people to stop exploiting others and to do justice. It's like they are contemporary western citizens from our time! The others texts will tell the story of Joseph revealing the truth of Phaoroh's dreams and Jesus feeding the 5000. These stories direct our thoughts to the action that inspired CFGB to be created out of a group of MCC operatives in the 1970s. My hope is to stimulate us all to think about how we can become action figures who respond in service to Christ's model as opposed to being sales agents who market the gospel. Servanthood living is the best way to demonstrate the love of Christ and be faithful Christians. I actually met Mother Teresa in Calcutta once, and she said to us, "spread the gospel; use words if necess

Scripture Proverbs 4:1-9 (NIV) “Listen, my sons, to a father’s instruction; Pay attention and gain understanding. I give you sound learning, so do not forsake my teaching. When I was a boy in my father’s house, Still tender, and an only child of my mother, He taught me and said: “Lay hold of my words with all your heart; Keep my commands and you will live. Get wisdom, get understanding; Do not forget my words or swerve from them. Do not forsake wisdom, and she will protect you; Love her, and she will watch over you. Wisdom is supreme; therefore get wisdom. Though it cost all you have, get understanding. Esteem her and she will exalt you; Embrace her, and she will honour you. She will set a garland of grace on your head And present you with a crown of splendor.” This message centers around six ways to gain more wisdom 1. Study the scriptures 2.

A Father's Blessing: Isaac Life Lessons from Ordinary People Series III - Isaac Genesis 27:25-34 25 Then he said, “My son, bring me some of your game to eat, so that I may give you my blessing.” Jacob brought it to him and he ate; and he brought some wine and he drank. 26 Then his father Isaac said to him, “Come here, my son, and kiss me.” 27 So he went to him and kissed him. When Isaac caught the smell of his clothes, he blessed him and said, “Ah, the smell of my son is like the smell of a field that the Lord has blessed. 28 May God give you heaven’s dew and earth’s richness— an abundance of grain and new wine. 29 May nations serve you and peoples bow down to you. Be lord over your brothers, and may the sons of your mother bow down to you. May those who curse you be cursed and those who bless you be blessed.” 30 After Isaac finished blessing him, and Jacob had scarcely left his father’s presence, his brother Esau came in from hunting. 31 He too prepared some tasty food and brought it to his father. Then he

Lives of ordinary people - Ezra Scripture: Ezra 7:6 - 10 6 Ezra came up from Babylon. He was a teacher well versed in the Law of Moses, which the Lord, the God of Israel, had given. The king had granted him everything he asked, for the hand of the Lord his God was on him. 7 Some of the Israelites, including priests, Levites, musicians, gatekeepers and temple servants, also came up to Jerusalem in the seventh year of King Artaxerxes. 8 Ezra arrived in Jerusalem in the fifth month of the seventh year of the king. 9 He had begun his journey from Babylon on the first day of the first month, and he arrived in Jerusalem on the first day of the fifth month, for the gracious hand of his God was on him. 10 For Ezra had devoted himself to the study and observance of the Law of the Lord, and to teaching its decrees and laws in Israel.

Our tongues direct our lives, they can destroy our lives and the lives of others, and our words show what is our hearts. SCRIPTURE: James 3:1-12 Not many of you should become teachers, my fellow believers, because you know that we who teach will be judged more strictly. 2 We all stumble in many ways. Anyone who is never at fault in what they say is perfect, able to keep their whole body in check. 3 When we put bits into the mouths of horses to make them obey us, we can turn the whole animal. 4 Or take ships as an example. Although they are so large and are driven by strong winds, they are steered by a very small rudder wherever the pilot wants to go. 5 Likewise, the tongue is a small part of the body, but it makes great boasts. Consider what a great forest is set on fire by a small spark. 6 The tongue also is a fire, a world of evil among the parts of the body. It corrupts the whole body,sets the whole course of one’s life on fire, and is itself set on fire by hell. THEMES: - managing our tongues and words

There’s no magical handbook for how to be a successful adult. We are all just doing our best to make good decisions and deal with things as they come along. Researchers from Cornell University found that adults make an estimated average of 226.7 decisions each day just on food alone and it’s estimated that the average adult makes about 35,000 remotely conscious decisions each day. James tells us that if we lack wisdom – if we need it – we should ask. "If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you. But when you ask, you must believe and not doubt." James 1:8-9a "Then you will call on me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all of your heart. I will be found by you declares the Lord. Jeremiah" 29:12-14a "So here’s what I want you to do, God helping you: Take your everyday, ordinary life – your sleeping, eating, going-to-work, and walking-around life – and place it
