Jesus most famous Sermon Part 13 Judging others

Leave a reply

Today’s topic of Jesus most famous Sermon is about judging others in Matthew 7.1-6. Be inspired!

Hello our friend

We hope you had a wonderful week!

Last week Caleb and I randomly found a small park in the city that we have never been to. It was near a hospital. Caleb started running around with some kids there and I got in a conversation with a dad. I found out his wife was here for a medical appointment. Just by starting this conversation god opened up a door to encourage and pray for him in this fear-provoking moment and point him towards the one who is always with him. I want to encourage you through this situation that we are Gods hands and feet who he partners with to bring hope.

One reminder from the video at the end: Ask God to show you the “log” sin in your own life and repent and bring it to him. Then ask holy spirit to help you not to judge or come with pride but instead come with humility, love and compassion to help the person.

God bless you

Hi our friend

We hope you had a wonderful week!!

Last week I shared with our board from YWAM Bay area about what we do. It is so wonderful to have a board of people that bring help and their expertise to the things going on and provide their inside. We have board members from in and outside of YWAM which helps to get a greater outside perspective. I feel it’s a pretty good picture for us as believers too. We have God and our faith community that helps us grow and get perspective as well as help us see our blind spots. We want to encourage you that if you haven’t already done so to plug into a church community and of course that is a given to spend time with God!

We also hope you got inspired through todays Gospel Carrier Billy Graham. Who is God calling you to, to preach the gospel?

Have a blessed week

Hello our friend

We hope you had a wonderful week!

Some visits are easy and lots of fun. But some visits are hard especially if you don’t know if you will see the person again. We had one of those last week while visiting a neighbor friend at a hospice place. It was not an easy time but we were able to bring joy just by being there. Jen got to share the gospel again and pray for our friend. The visit made us sad, but it showed again how genuine and real our friendship is. It can be easy to avoid hard moments like this, but I want to encourage you not to do so. Instead be a genuine friend in those seasons and show the love of Jesus through that!

We also celebrated the 4th of July with our church with a BBQ on the beach. It was a lot of fun! And since it was the 250th birthday celebration the city planned an extra special firework over the Golden Gate Bridge. Sadly so, Karl the fog came in and covered up most of the show. But I got a short video of some that could be seen below the fog. 🙂

One reminder from the video at the end: Want to be more free from anxiousness? Remember to seek first his Kingdom (prioritize his will, recognize God’s authority, going towards righteousness, participate in God’s work and trust His provision) and Righteousness!

God bless you

Hi our friend

We hope you had a wonderful week!!

I love how God is using giftings and things you learned, in the context you are in. Last week I was able to help a newly married couple in the area of finances through the things I learned over the years. They were really blessed and I felt encouraged that I was able to help them. What gifting did God give you or what things did you learn that he could use to bless others? Think about it!!

We also hope you got inspired through todays Gospel Carrier Rachel Saint. Pray about and ask God if he calls you to a people group or tribe? If pray about how to get there!

Have a blessed week

Jesus most famous Sermon Part 11 Treasures

Leave a reply

Today’s topic of Jesus most famous Sermon is about Treasures in Matthew 6.19-24. Be inspired!

Hello our friend

We hope you had a wonderful week!

Last weekend we were going to help with a neighborhood trash cleanup. When we arrived at the meeting spot none of the organizers was there, only a few volunteers. We all ended up in a really great conversation while waiting and during that noticed how many of the same people we knew and all the connections. It was one of those God moments where he connects people. It was wonderful. The team who was organizing the clean up never ended up coming. We think they might have not found parking cause of the North Beach street fair. So sometimes something that doesn’t work out as planned actually works out even better.

One reminder from the video at the end: Ask yourself where are your treasures and how can you personally store more treasures in heaven?

God bless you
