reBUILD in the Face of Distraction

March 6, 2016 by Brad Murphy

The story of Nehemiah is the story of a person called by God, who knew the mission, and understood the honor that his life could bring to God. In the process God used Nehemiah to reBUILD a city and inspire a people.

https://eaglelifechurch.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/2016-03-06-Nehemiah-6.1-4-Distraction.mp3

When God puts it in your heart to reBUILD your life, your family, or your community, you can be sure that the enemy of God will use anything and everything he can to stop you from renewing hope. In today’s sermon from Nehemiah 6:1-4, we learn about the enemy’s tactic of distraction and how to stand firm.

And I sent messengers to them, saying,
“I am doing a great work and I cannot come down.
Why should the work stop while I leave it and come down to you?” – Nehemiah 6:3

 Distraction brings ___confusion________

Confusion is ____unbelief_____ that fails to ____prioritize______ God.

  1. Not every ____invitation______ is a reason for _____celebration______ | Nehemiah 6:1-3

Identify Distractions by Asking Four Questions:

  • Who is inviting you?
  • Where are they inviting you?
  • What is there motivation?
  • Why should the work you are doing stop? Or should it?

1 Chronicles 8:12 | 2 Corinthians 11:12-15 | 1 Peter 5:8-9 | John 10:10 | Matthew 7:13-14

  1. Distraction is a ­­­­____constant____ enemy | Nehemiah 6:4

Luke 9:51-56 | Hebrews 12:1-3 | James 1:2-18 | Romans 5:3-5

DETERMINATION BRINGS ___clarity___. CLARITY IS BELIEF

THAT WHAT GOD HAS ____started____ HE WILL ____finish___.

Empowered Living | Manifestation Gifts Pt. 2

July 29, 2013 by Brad Murphy

This entry is part 10 of 3 in the series Empowered Living

Jesus said, “If you love me, you will obey what I command.”  He asks us to bring light and God flavors into the dark and flavorless hearts of our neighbors.

He knew this assignment would be impossible without power.

The invisible powerful presence of God is available to strengthen, comfort, energize, and lead us to accomplish His purposes.  He gives different gifts to each one of us, that work together to build up, encourage, and equip us  for being His hands and feet, serving the world.

We learn many things from the Acts of the Apostles in the Bible.  We see them experiencing miracles, speaking in strange languages or tongues, and healing diseases.  Many of the apostles or followers of Christ experienced visions, dreams, or encounters with angels that lead them to act, change plans, or behave in certain ways.

During the first century, these common occurrences, were quickly spreading the Good News about Jesus around the world.

Manifestation Gifts Part 2

This week, Pastor Brad continues a study of the Apostle Paul’s writings in 1 Corinthians 12 -14 about the Manifested Gifts of the Spirit that are present today and how they should and shouldn’t be exercised in the church.

Now to each is given the manifestation of the Spirit for the common good.
– 1 Corinthians 12:7

In Part One we learned that God hasn’t asked you to do everything, but he’s gifted you for something.

This week we discuss the following outline:

  • The Gifts are Manifested of the Spirit, and Jesus is the perfection of each of the gifts
    • Prophecy
    • Tongues (Personal Use)
    • Tongues (Public Use)
    • Interpretation of Tongues
    • Discerning of Spirits

Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms.
– 1 Peter 4:10
