  <title>Are You a Hall of Famer?</title>
  <description>&quot;Are You a Hall of Famer?&quot;
Malachi 3:16-18
Part 13

A Hall of Fame life involves:

   1. A personal commitment to exalt God.

  Fearing the Lord involves the understanding that:

    * God can hurt us &amp;
    * We can hurt God.

   2. Participation in a community that edifies others.

Community is important because:

    * God warns us against solo Christianity.
    * We wander away from God at times.
    * Other witnesses of God's grace help grow our faith.

Community involves a common:

    * Attitude
    * Activity
    * Association

3.    A powerful conclusion that should encourage us.

We are encouraged because the Lord:

    * Receives us as his own.
    * Responds when we pray.
    * Regards us as His treasured possession.
    * Remembers us on the Day of Judgment.

  <title>What Do You Really Think About God?</title>
  <description>
&quot;What Do You REALLY Think About God?&quot;
Part 12
Malachi 3:13-15

Do you think:

1. Doing God's work is unfulfilling? (14a)

    This mindset:

    * Reflected a fanciful notion
    * Resulted in a false statement

2. Submitting to God's will is unrewarding? (14b)

 This belief comes from a wrong:

    * Attitude
    * Assessment

3.   God's word is unreliable? (15)

  This approach to God's word allows for:

    * Hypocritical actions
    * Hateful accusations

  <title>Are You Robbing God?</title>
  <description>
Are You Robbing God?
Malachi 3:6-12
Part 11

Robbing God involves our:

    * Attitudes
    * Actions
    * Assets

If we desire to find victory in the area of giving we must:

1.       Remember what God has done for us (6).

God is completely trustworthy in:

    * The promises He has made to us.
    * The plans He has for us.

2.         Return to God (7).

Our return involves:

    * Acknowledging our departure.
    * Admitting our sin.
    * Asking for His forgiveness and guidance.

3.         Realize the importance of giving (8-9).

This involves understanding:

    * The significance of giving.
    * The systematic nature of giving.
    * The strategy of giving.
    * The submission that is shown in giving.

4.       Rejoice in God's blessing (11-12).</description>

I Do Not Change!!!
Part 10
Malachi 3:6-7

The immutability of God means that He is unchanging in His being, perfections, purposes, and promises, yet God does act and feel emotions, and he acts and feels differently in His response to certain situations.

Our text declares that this immutability involves:

1.   God's character

Which involves His:

    * Perfection
    * Personhood
    * Promises
    * Plans

2.   God's covenant

The covenant with Jacob proved:

    * His faithfulness
    * Israel's faithlessness

3.   His Compassion

This compassion allows for:

    * God's redemption of humanity
    * Our return to God

  <title>He's Coming: Are You Ready?</title>
  <description>
&quot;He's Coming:  Are You Ready?&quot;
Malachi 3:1-5
Part 9

Our readiness for His coming involves:

   1. A thought that should challenge us.

 His coming should challenge:

 ·         The unbeliever to experience salvation.

 ·         The believer to pursue sanctification.

 This challenge involves:

·         A diligent examination.

·         A daily expectation.

This expectation includes:

    * Wanting.
    * Waiting.
    * Watching.

   2. A testing that should concern us.

This testing involves:

    * A confrontation by the Lord.

    * Our condition before the Lord.

Our condition will determine whether the day of His coming will result in a:

    * Grievous condemnation.

    * Glorious celebration.

  <title>Are You Sick and Tired of God... OR ...Is God Sick and Tired of You?</title>
  <description>
Part 8
&quot;Are you sick and tired of God?&quot;
Or
&quot;Is God sick and tired of you?&quot;
Malachi 2:17

1.   God's patience was exhausted.

The patience of God:

    * Is extremely long in duration.
    * Will be eventually lost.

2.   God people were exasperating.

They believed that God:

    * Delights in people's iniquity
    * Dwells in perpetual indifference

   3. God's path involves expectation.

Our expectation includes a:

    * Coming deliverer
    * Child's discipline
    * Certain destruction
    * Christ-like direction

  <title>Broken</title>
  <description>
&quot;Broken&quot;
Malachi 2:10-16
Part 7

 When our spiritual relationship is broken we become:

 1.  Unfaithful in our fellowship with others.

 We are called to love one another because we share:

    * The same Father
    * The same faith

 2.  Unfaithful to our Father in heaven.

 The Israelites unfaithfulness was evident when:

    * God's covenant of marriage was ignored

    * The people's choice in marriage allowed for idolatry

 God's anger towards inter-marriage

    * Had nothing to do with race

    * It was all about religion

 3.  Unfaithful to our families.

God declares that he is the sole:

    * Author of marriage

    * Authority in marriage

    * Administrator in marriage

 God's plan to prevent broken marriage is seen in his:

    * Attitude towards divorce

    * Admonition to pursue faithfulness with your spouse

Malachi's message today has practical application for the

    * Not married
    * Nearly married
    * Newly married
    * Numbly married
    * Narrowly married

  <title>Real Leadership - Part B</title>
  <description>
&quot;Real Leadership&quot;
Malachi 2:1-9

Part 6

Our text gives 10 characteristics of leadership.

   1. First, we see five characteristics of spiritually flawed leadership.

Leadership is flawed when we:

    * Dishonor God's holiness (2-3).
    * Depart from God's way (8a).
    * Damage the spiritual lives of others (8b).
    * Desecrate the covenant God has given (8c).

    * Reveres God as awesome and faithful (4-5).
    * Resolves to live a holy life (6).
    * Reproves people regarding their sin (6b).

  <title>Are You Right With God?</title>
  <description>
Malachi 2:1-3

Part 5

&quot;Are You Right With God?&quot;

Failure to live a godly life may result in:

1.   The removal of God's privileges.

This removal will hinder our:

    * Personal experiences.
    * Public expressions.

2.   Repercussions from God's punishment.

This punishment may include:

    * A firm rebuke.
    * A variety of far-reaching and negative results.

3.   The rejection of godly purposes.

Instead of honor and blessing, there is:        ·         

    * Disclosed sin.
    * Disqualified service.

These three consequences can be . . .

4.   Remedied through godly practices.

These practices involve:    

    * Hearing God.
    * Hungering for God.
    * Honoring God.

  <title>Giving God Your Leftovers</title>
  <description>
Malachi 1:6-14

Part 4

&quot;Giving God Your Leftovers&quot;

We give God our best when we:

1.   Cease the pattern of living that displeases God.

God is displeased with:

    * Prideful attitudes
    * Polluted actions

2.   Check to see if what you give to God is what He demands.

Two questions to ask before we give to God:

    * Would it be it accepted by our governor?
    * Does it ascribe glory to God?

If the answer is no then:

    * God is not pleased
    * We have unanswered prayer
    * God would rather close the place down

3.    Commit to living a life that is dedicated to God.

This dedication involves:

    * Giving God what he deserves.
    * Giving to God what you have declared.

  <title>To God Be the Glory</title>
  <description>Part 3

Malachi 1:6

&quot;To God Be the Glory&quot;

 
In this second message from God through Malachi we are told of:

1.    A Special Relationship

God speaks of his people as:

    * Sons
    * Servants

          As a result of this relationship God's people hold a:

    * High position
    * Holy position

2.   A Serious Rebuke

This rebuke involved a:

    * Relationship that had been dishonored
    * Revelation of God that had been despised

3.    A Sad Response

This response was a result of:

    * Hard hearts
    * Hypocritical hearts

  <title>Are You Ready? -Overview of Malachi-</title>
  <description>Overview of Malachi
Malachi 1:1
God’s last Old Testament message to His earthly people Israel is directed to the remnant that returned from the Babylonian captivity. This remnant had totally failed during the decades after the return in their testimony for God. It is true that the Jews did no longer serve the idols as they did before the exile, but their moral condition was marked by indifference, despising of God and unbelief. Into this situation God declares His unchanging love for the people and points out their sins and their departure from His commandments (Mal. 1 – 2). But God also announces to the Jews that severe judgments will come upon them before he sends his next prophet to usher in the coming of Jesus Christ. (Mal. 3 – 4). Over the next couple months we will examine this ancient message and learn principles and commands that remain true today.  The book of Malachi is truly an “Ancient Truth for Modern Times”

  <title>The Word of Victory</title>
  <description>Famous Last words

 &quot;The Word of Victory&quot;

John 19:30 When he had received the drink, Jesus said, &quot;It is finished.&quot; With that, he bowed his head and gave up his spirit.

 Tetelestai= This Greek word speaks of something being finished, completed, or accomplished.

As we observe this cry from the cross we see:

1.   Completion

Christ was declaring that:

    * He had fulfilled the words foretold by the prophets.

    * He had finished the work of salvation.

2.    Conquest

            On the cross Christ gained victory over:

    * Society

    * Sin

    * Satan

3.     Commitment

This involved Christ's:

    * Obedience to the Father

  <title>The Word of Suffering</title>
  <description>A Word of Suffering

John 19:28

 John 19:28-29

    Later, knowing that all was now completed, and so that the Scripture would be fulfilled, Jesus said, &quot;I am thirsty.&quot; [29] A jar of wine vinegar was there, so they soaked a sponge in it, put the sponge on a stalk of the hyssop plant, and lifted it to Jesus' lips.

This cry from the cross should cause us to:

1.  Realize the certainty of suffering.


2. Remain faithful to our calling to serve God.


3. Renew our commitment to Scripture.


4. Remember the work of Christ that brought salvation.


5. Recognize our own craving for sustenance.</description>

  <title>The Word of Anguish</title>
  <description>The Word of Anguish

Matthew 27:45; Mark 15:33-34

 As we observe this cry from the cross we see:

1.  A season of darkness.

 This darkness came as a result of:

    * Physical pain
    * Physiological ploys
    * A paternal purpose

2.  A sudden desertion.

The desertion of Christ teaches us about:

    * The purity of God

·         The penalty for our sin

·         The perseverance of Jesus

3.  A spiritual deliverance.

    This deliverance involves:

      ·   The person of Christ.

    * The payment for sin

    ·         A promise to all people.

      Both:

 -Sinner

 -Saint

  <title>Words of a Family Man</title>
  <description>
Words of a Family Man

John 19:26-27

 

1.   Jesus was a model son

a.  Jesus was about the business of saving the world, but he was not too busy for his family.

b.  The perfect man sets an example for children to honor their parents.

c.  Our spiritual responsibilities do not supersede our family responsibilities

2.   If Jesus had time to honor his parents then so do you.

a.  No one is ever released from this sacred obligation. 

b.  When you can't do anything else for the people you love, you can at least tell them, &quot;I love you.&quot;

c.  No matter what you do in this life, you can hardly be considered a success if in your rapid climb to the top you neglect to care for your family. 

d.  If you can't honor them while they are alive, you can remember them after they die.

e.  If you are unable to speak good about your parents, you can honor them by refusing to speak evil of them.

3.   A disciple's responsibility:

a.  John deserted his Savior

b.  John returned to his Savior

c.  John was forgiven by his Savior

 

Family Devotional Follow-Up:

1.        In a practical sense, what does it mean to you to &quot;honor your parents&quot;?

2.        Read Ecclesiastes 12.  Why is it important to remember God when you are young?

3.        Read Psalm 127.  In what sense are children a &quot;reward&quot; from the Lord?  Why is the person blessed whose &quot;quiver&quot; is full?

4.        Do you agree that we are always called to honor our parents, even if we can't always obey them?  How can this principle help us win our unbelieving parents who do not understand our faith in Christ?

5.        Name three ways we can honor our parents after they have died.

6.        If your parents are still living, take a moment and pray for them right now.  If you have children, pray for them as well.</description>

  <title>The Word of Salvation</title>
  <description>A Word of Salvation

Luke 23:42 &amp; 43

 As we observe the story

of the repentant thief we encounter:

1.   The picture of all sinners.

Just like the thief:

    * We revile God.
    * We are robbers.
    * We are ruined.

2.   The path of salvation.

This path to Christ involves your:

·        Change of heart.

    * Confession of guilt.
    * Commitment to faith in Christ.

3.    The proclamation of the Savior.

This proclamation regarding the afterlife:

 

    * Was rooted in a promise.
    * Involved a certain point in time.
    * Declared the presence of Christ.
    * Tells us of an eternal paradise.

  <title>The Word of Forgiveness</title>
  <description>
A Word of Forgiveness

Luke 23:34

1.   Forgiving the unforgivable begins with prayer.
Jesus' prayer on the cross was

    * Surprising
    * Sensitive
    * Sufficient

2.   Forgiving the unforgivable always involves a   Pardon.

This Pardon:

    * Involves a purpose
    * Consist of an ongoing principle
    * Is a commanded practice
    * Contains power for all who need it

-For those below the cross

-For those beyond the cross

3.  Forgiving the unforgivable makes way for us to experience peace.

Only through forgiveness can peace be restored:

    * With our Creator
    * With other Christians
    * In all circumstances

 -No matter the event

 -No matter the enemy </description>

  <title>The Priority of Biblical Preaching</title>
  <description>
The Priority of Preaching
Part 1
Acts 2:42-47

1.   Biblical preaching must be a focus and priority of every church.

Preaching was:

o       Central in the earthly ministry of Jesus Christ.

o       Commanded in the Great Commission.

o       Continually practiced in the early church.

o       Constantly encouraged in the Apostles' correspondence.

2.   Biblical preaching must follow a specific pattern to be authentic.

The Apostles' teaching:

o       Was rooted in the Old Testament.

o       Revolved around the person and work of Christ.

o       Was replete with doctrinal instruction and application.

3.   Biblical preaching must remain faithful to the principles of scripture.

The Apostles' teaching was:

 o       Declared as God's truth.

o       Deemed worthy through God's power.

o       Delineated in the New Testament.

4.   Biblical preaching that is founded on the scriptures produces results.

These results take place when people desire to:

o       Hear the Word.

o       Heed the Word.

These results often include:

o       Elevated worship.

o       Empowered prayers.

o       Enriched service.

o       Expanded joy.

o       Explosive evangelism.</description>

  <title>The Evil That We Do</title>
  <description>Part  15

The Evil That We Do

Romans 1:28-32

This evil involves:

1.      Our embracing of certain decisions that are unholy.

           These decisions involve:

    * A systematic review of God's worth
    * A stubborn rejection of God
    * A settled reaction by God
    * A sinful response by humanity

2.     Our engaging in depravity that is

      unthinkable.

This depravity is seen through our

    * Entrenched attitudes
    * Elevated arrogance
    * Evil activities

         As a result we are:

    * Morally unlearned
    * Spiritually unfaithful
    * Naturally unloving
    * Continually unmerciful

Our experiencing a future destiny that

     will be unbearable.

             This destiny:

    * Comes as a result of habitual practices of sin
    * Involves continual praise of other sinners
    * Leads to an unbearable penalty for our sins

  <title>&quot;It's Time We Get This Right&quot; - A Study on Sanctified Sexuality</title>
  <description>
Part  13

&quot;It's Time We Get This Right&quot;

Romans 1:24 &amp; 25

Sanctified sexuality comes when we:

1.   Recognize the different stances people take with regard to sex:

    * Playboy's stance.
    * The prude's stance.
    * The proper stance.

2.   Realize what the Bible says about sexual immorality.

Paul states that our decline into sexual immorality:

    * Reflects God's settled position towards humanity's sin.
    * Deepens when we cultivate sinful pleasures of the heart.
    * Results in shameful practices that dishonor our bodies.

3.   Respond with biblical steps that will bring praise to God:

    * If you are single, remain celibate until marriage.
    * If you are married, celebrate sex with your spouse.
    * If you struggle with sexual temptation, ask God for the strength to conquer it.

  <title>The Reasons for God's Wrath #2 - The Truth Substituted</title>
  <description>
Part  12

&quot;The Reason For God's Wrath&quot;

Romans 1:21-23

Humanity's substitution for the truth:

1.   Leads to our dismissal of God in our lives.

This dismissal involves:

    * A reckless choice
          o We did not give God glory
          o We did not show God gratitude
    * A resulting condition
          o Hollow reasoning
          o Horrible reality

2.   Involves a decision to live life apart from God.

This decision led to a:

    * Foolish regression
    * False religion

3.   Reminds us of our duty in this world.

 Every Christian must:

 ·         Give God glory

    * Show God your gratitude
    * Understand the Gospel
    * Worship God and Him alone

  <title>&quot;Wait 'til Your Father Comes Home&quot; A Lesson on the Wrath of God</title>
  <description>Part 10

&quot;Wait 'til your Father Comes Home&quot;

Romans 1:18-19

As we look at this weighty scripture, we should give attention to:

1.   Contemporary preachers' fear of preaching this truth.

We must speak of this truth because:

    * The Bible proclaims it.
    * It teaches us about our greatest problem.
    * It gives us a proper view of God.
    * It gives us a passion for the gospel.

2.   A proper understanding of the facts surrounding this truth.

The Bible speaks about:

    * The characteristics of this wrath.
    * The consistency of this wrath.
    * The categories of this wrath.
    * The course of this wrath.

3.    The primary focus of this wrath. 

God's wrath is being revealed because of humanity's:

    * Ungodliness
    * Unrighteousness
    * Unwillingness

4.   The perfect formula for turning away this wrath.

This biblical formula involves:

    * Examining your life.
    * Making every effort to know God.

Allowing your life to be an evidence of God's grace.</description>

  <title>Are You Seeing Results?</title>
  <description>
Part 5

&quot;Are you seeing results?&quot;

Romans 1:5-7

A true and growing Christianity is seen in its results.
Every growing Christian must:

1.   Remember the purpose of our deliverance.

The purpose for our deliverance involves:

    * God receiving glory
    * Humanity receiving grace
    * God giving gifts

2.   Respond with a passion to declare the gospel.

This declaration must be:

    * Shared with all people
    * Shared properly

 3.   Recognize the privileges that bring forth our delight.

Our delight comes because:

    * We belong to God
    * We are beloved by God
    * We become saints
    * We are showered with His blessings

  <title>Are You Attached to the Gospel?</title>
  <description>
Part  4

&quot;Are You Attached To the Gospel?&quot;

Romans 1:2-4

Our attachment to the gospel involves answering 3 questions:

   1.

      Are you in awe of the promise of the gospel?

When we explore the scripture we see:

   1.

       
          *

            The continuity of the gospel.
          *

            The consistency of the gospel.
          *

            The character of the gospel.
   2.

      Are you attached to the person of the gospel?

Jesus is the person of the gospel based on:

·         Prophecy

·         His position

·         His pedigree


Jesus had the right pedigree from a

    *

      Human perspective
    *

      Heavenly perspective

3.  Are you aware of your position with regard to the gospel?

This awareness of Christ's Lordship should involve your:

    *

      Pursuits
    *

      Pleasures
    *

      Possessions
    *

      Profession
    *

      Proclamation
    *

      Planet
    *

      Place of worship

  <title>God's Breaking News for a Broken World</title>
  <description>
Part 3

Gods Breaking News To a Broken World






Romans 1:1

This Breaking News:

1.     Comes to a world seduced by sin.

This seduction is seen in:

    * The longing of humanity
    * The lust we long to gratify
    * The lost condition we face

2.     Connects us to the only source of salvation.

This news of salvation involves:

    * A positive declaration
    * Plenty of descriptions
    * Powerful dimensions

3.     Converts the sinner through a proper response to the Savior.

There are 4 responses we can have to the good news:

    * Antagonistic
    * Apathetic
    * Attracted
    * Attached

  <title>What is a Christian</title>
  <description>Part 2:

What Is a Christian?

Romans 1:1

A Christian is one:

1.     Who serves the Master in Heaven.

This service should remind us about our:

    * Partnership
    * Purpose
    * Priority

2.     Who is sent on a mission as a herald.

This mission involves:

    * God calling us
    * God changing us
    * God commissioning us

3.     Who is set apart to proclaim a message of hope.

Our being set apart:

    * Involves the past
    * Is permanent
    * Involves certain parameters

1.   Starts with a humble request.

For this request to be valid:

    * Ruth had to ask
    * Boaz had to answer

Ruth's answer was found in Boaz's

    * Promises
    * Provisions
    * Persistence

2.   Involves a set of requirements

This meant Ruth's redeemer must be:

    * Worthy
    * Willing

3.   Is seen through the results.

Result #1     Establishes a new start

Result #2     Elevates the position of the saint

Results #3    Exalts our Savior</description>

          * Change in our direction

Likewise our wardrobe is changed from that of a:

    * Sinner to a Saint

  <title>There's No Place Like Home</title>
  <description>
Redeeming Ruth
Part 3
&quot;There is no place like home&quot;

Ruth 1:19-22

The road back from bitterness involves:

1.   Moving beyond past hurts.

These past hurts may result from:

    * Disaster
    * Disappointment
    * Decisions
    * Discipline

Naomi's bitterness were a result of:

    *
      Death

   2. A personal homecoming.                

Bethlehem was a place known for God's

    * Praise
    * Presence
    * Provision
    * People

3.   A proper humility.

Humility teaches you how God:

    * Brings you back home
    * Breaks you down
    * Blesses you again

Your tombstone will speak of:

1.   How you live amidst dreadful circumstances.

  <title>Deliverance from Our Shame</title>
  <description>
&quot;Deliverance from Our Shame&quot;
Part 4
John 21:1-23

1.   Shame is a result of our failures.

Through the life of Peter we see:

    * The price of failure

     Our failure involves our:

    * Choices

Jesus:

  <title>Deliverance from Our Second Guessing</title>
  <description>Part 3
&quot;Deliverance from Our Second-guessing&quot;
John 20:19-31

Deliverance from second-guessing the claims of Jesus demands that we:

1.      DEVELOP A RELATIONSHIP WITH A DISCIPLE WHO DOUBTED.

THOMAS WAS:

    * A FISHERMAN (John 21:1-3)
    * A FOLLOWER OF CHRIST (Luke 6:13-16)
    * FOCUSED ON FINDING ANSWERS (John 14:5)

 2.      DEFEND AGAINST THE RISKS SURROUNDING THE DOWNWARD OF SPIRAL DOUBT.

DOUBT LEADS US DOWN THE PATH OF:

    * DESERTION (v.19)
    * DELAY (v. 24)
    * DENIAL (v.25a)
    * DEMAND (v.25b)

3.      DEEPEN OUR RESOLVE TO DISARM THE DOUBTS OF LIFE.

DOUBT IS DISARMED BY:

    * DRAWING CLOSE TO JESUS (v.26)

    * BELIEVING THE DEMONSTRATIONS GIVEN TO US. (v. 27)

    * DECLARING OUR ALLEGIANCE TO GOD. (vv. 28-29)

    * DEVOTING OURSELVES TO THE WORD OF GOD. (vv. 30-31)

  <title>Deliverance from Our Sin</title>
  <description>Part 2
&quot;Deliverance from our sin&quot;
John 20:1-18

Our deliverance from sin:

1.    Requires finding success in overcoming great obstacles.

     The resurrection overcomes our:

    * Suffering
    * Sorrow
    * Shame
    * Sin

2.    Is realized through a startling observation.

                  Three different observations are seen:

    * Peter observes with curiosity
    * John observes carefully
    * Mary observes completely


3.  Results in sharing with others.

                  Our sharing should include:    

    * The resurrection of Christ
    * Our spiritual reversal
    * Our new relationship

Part One:
Deliverance from Our Suffering

    * Rulers (6-16)
    * Robbers (18)

  <title>God's Answer to Our Desires</title>
  <description>God in 3-D
Part 29
Jesus: The answer to our desire
John 6:1-15

We can find the fulfillment and contentment in Jesus because:

1.   There is no problem too big for Jesus to solve.

When we face times of obstacles we must remember that:

    * Jesus always recognizes the problem
    * The solution requires us to exhibit faith
    * Our response will fall short without faith

2.   There is no person too small to serve Jesus.

    * We are called to serve no matter the size of the gift

    * Our service to God runs parallel with the sacrifice of the giver.

    * Our service to God may be second-guessed by others.

If we desire to be used by God we must:

    * Transfer all that we have to Jesus
    * Allow Jesus to transform it for his glory

3.   There is no other provision that results in such a great satisfaction.

This provision that comes from Christ:

    * Strengthens the faltering
    * Stuffs the famished
    * Supplies His followers

  <title>God's Answer to Our Disappointment</title>
  <description>
God in 3-D
Part 28
&quot;God's answer to our disappointment&quot;
John 2:1-11

The answer to our disappointment is found by:

1.   Recognizing the sources of our disappointment.

Disappointment is:

The failure to satisfy hopes and expectations

Or

The state of being unsatisfied

Our disappointment involves the:

    * Family
    * Finances
    * Physical
    * Emotional
    * Spiritual

   2. Remembering a biblical situation of joy that turned to disappointment.

    * The setting
    * The significance
    * The sign

This miracle shows us that Jesus is able to:

    * Restore order
    * Release nature
    * Reverse failure

3.   Responding with biblical steps that allow for joy to be restored.

The bible prescribes the following steps:

    * Ask Jesus to attend all occasions of your life
    * Listen to the advice of Jesus
    * Tap into the abundance that only comes from Christ
