Saluki downtime Dec 9, 20204


What are you thankful for? 


What have you learned about yourself this semester?


Where have you grown? 


What are you looking forward to over break?


Mary 


 Luke 1:30-33

30 But the angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary; you have found favor with God. 31 You will conceive and give birth to a son, and you are to call him Jesus. 32 He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High. The Lord God will give him the throne of his father David, 33 and he will reign over Jacob’s descendants forever; his kingdom will never end.”


Do you think you have found favor with God?


What are your thoughts on this statement?


LUKE 1:34-37

34 “How will this be,” Mary asked the angel, “since I am a virgin?”

35 The angel answered, “The Holy Spirit will come on you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you. So the holy one to be born will be called[b] the Son of God. 36 Even Elizabeth your relative is going to have a child in her old age, and she who was said to be unable to conceive is in her sixth month. 37 For no word from God will ever fail.”


Have you ever questioned or doubted God? 


What are some areas in which we doubt God? 


What did the Angel tell Mary? - the power of the Most High will overshadow you. 


Verse 37 - for no word from God will ever fail. 






Luke 1:38-39

38 “I am the Lord’s servant,” Mary answered. “May your word to me be fulfilled.” Then the angel left her.

39 At that time, Mary got ready and hurried to a town in the hill country of Judea,


Mary said, "I am the Lord’s servant," committing her life to doing what God called her to do. 


Where are you? 


Mary then, in verse 39, got ready and hurried to a town. 


I can go through what I am going through because of what God did through your circumstances.


This Story made me think a lot about where God has me. Am I committing to where I am because God has me where he wants me? 


Or am I trying to do my own thing? 


There is a balance that you have to learn for yourself. 


Patience and Pay off - be faithful daily.


Who am I?


Who is God to you?

Saluki downtime Nov 11, 2024 What are things that are out of your control? What is something that has negatively impacted your life outside of your control? Positively We will talk about Job. I want to talk about one of the most patient guys in the bible. I want to talk about one of the most God-honoring men of the bible. I want to talk about a guy who handled himself well while God allowed Satan himself to destroy his life. The Book of Job in the Bible is about a wealthy and pious man named Job who endures unimaginable suffering and loss:   Job's life Job is a wealthy man in the land of Uz with a large family and many flocks. He is known for being blameless, upright, and careful to avoid evil.   Satan's challenge Satan challenges God in heaven, arguing that Job is only good because of God's blessings. God allows Satan to test Job by inflicting suffering on him, including the deaths of his children, livestock, and servants and the development of skin sores. In the Bible, Jo...

Moses Some of you have glasses that are always half empty and have holes in them. Have you ever tried filling a cup that has a hole in it? Picture that for a minute. For some, it doesn't matter what happens in your life you are always going to take the negative and excuse way out. I know I’m filled to be emptied again There is a man in the bible who also had excuses. What did God choose to do with this man? In the Bible, Moses made five excuses when God called him to lead the Israelites out of Egypt: 1. I'm not good enough: Moses was content with his life as a shepherd in Midian. Who has been in a position where you didn’t feel good enough?  Transfer portal—NIL. By the way, please let me talk with you before you enter the transfer portal.
