    Enduring - November 24, 2024
    Nov 24 2024
    BIG | A Bigger Heart For His Big World Enduring Jon Fredricks Today’s Scripture: Luke 20:9-19 NIV __________ Luke 20:9-19 NIV The Parable of the Tenants 9 He went on to tell the people this parable: “A man planted a vineyard, rented it to some farmers and went away for a long time. 10 At harvest time he sent a servant to the tenants so they would give him some of the fruit of the vineyard. But the tenants beat him and sent him away empty-handed. 11 He sent another servant, but that one also they beat and treated shamefully and sent away empty-handed. 12 He sent still a third, and they wounded him and threw him out. 13 “Then the owner of the vineyard said, ‘What shall I do? I will send my son, whom I love; perhaps they will respect him.’ 14 “But when the tenants saw him, they talked the matter over. ‘This is the heir,’ they said. ‘Let’s kill him, and the inheritance will be ours.’ 15 So they threw him out of the vineyard and killed him. “What then will the owner of the vineyard do to them? 16 He will come and kill those tenants and give the vineyard to others.” When the people heard this, they said, “God forbid!” 17 Jesus looked directly at them and asked, “Then what is the meaning of that which is written: “‘The stone the builders rejectedhas become the cornerstone’? 18 Everyone who falls on that stone will be broken to pieces; anyone on whom it falls will be crushed.” 19 The teachers of the law and the chief priests looked for a way to arrest him immediately, because they knew he had spoken this parable against them. But they were afraid of the people. 2 Timothy 2:12 NIV if we endure, we will also reign with him. If we disown him, he will also disown us; Matthew 24:13 NIV But the one who endures to the end is the one who will be saved. 1) LOOK TO THE CORNERSTONE Hebrews 12:1-3 NIV 12 Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, 2 fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before him he endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. 3 Consider him who endured such opposition from sinners, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart. Psalm 119:105 NIV Your word is a lamp for my feet, a light on my path. 2) ACHE FOR THE KINGDOM Luke 20:10 NIV 10 At harvest time he sent a servant to the tenants so they would give him some of the fruit of the vineyard. But the tenants beat him and sent him away empty-handed. Luke 11:2 NIV He said to them, “When you pray, say: “‘Father, hallowed be your name, your kingdom come. 3) STRETCH INTO GENEROSITY Luke 17:33 NIV Whoever tries to keep their life will lose it, and whoever loses their life will preserve it. Matthew 19:21 NIV Jesus answered, “If you want to be perfect, go, sell your possessions and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me.” 4) TAKE IT TO YOUR NEIGHBOR John 15:1-2 NIV 1 “I am the true vine, and my Father is the gardener. 2 He cuts off every branch in me that bears no fruit, while every branch that does bear fruit he prunes so that it will be even more fruitful. James 1:27 NIV Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world. Proverbs 11:30 NIV The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life, and the one who is wise saves lives. Matthew 28:19-20 NIV 19 Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”

    How To Pray Again

    Jon Fredricks

    Today’s Scripture: Luke 19:45-48 NIV

    __________

    Proverbs 16:25 NIV

    There is a way that appears to be right, but in the end it leads to death.

    Luke 19:45-48 NIV

    Jesus at the Temple

    45 When Jesus entered the temple courts, he began to drive out those who were selling. 46 “It is written,” he said to them, “‘My house will be a house of prayer’; but you have made it ‘a den of robbers.’”

    47 Every day he was teaching at the temple. But the chief priests, the teachers of the law and the leaders among the people were trying to kill him. 48 Yet they could not find any way to do it, because all the people hung on his words.

    Ephesians 2:22 NIV

    And in him you too are being built together to become a dwelling in which God lives by his Spirit.

    Isaiah 56:1-7 NIV

    This is what the Lord says:

    “Maintain justice
    and do what is right,
    for my salvation is close at hand
    and my righteousness will soon be revealed.
    2

    Blessed is the one who does this—
    the person who holds it fast,
    who keeps the Sabbath without desecrating it,
    and keeps their hands from doing any evil.”

    3

    Let no foreigner who is bound to the Lord say,
    “The Lord will surely exclude me from his people.”
    And let no eunuch complain,
    “I am only a dry tree.”

    4 For this is what the Lord says:

    “To the eunuchs who keep my Sabbaths,
    who choose what pleases me
    and hold fast to my covenant—

    5

    to them I will give within my temple and its walls
    a memorial and a name
    better than sons and daughters;
    I will give them an everlasting name
    that will endure forever.

    6

    And foreigners who bind themselves to the Lord
    to minister to him,
    to love the name of the Lord,
    and to be his servants,
    all who keep the Sabbath without desecrating it
    and who hold fast to my covenant—

    7

    these I will bring to my holy mountain
    and give them joy in my house of prayer.
    Their burnt offerings and sacrifices
    will be accepted on my altar;
    for my house will be called
    a house of prayer for all nations.”

    Luke 4:8 NIV

    Jesus answered, “It is written: ‘Worship the Lord your God and serve him only.’”

    Deuteronomy 4:24 NIV

    For the Lord your God is a consuming fire, a jealous God.

    Mark 11:17 NIV

    17 And as he taught them, he said, “Is it not written: ‘My house will be called a house of prayer for all nations’? But you have made it ‘a den of robbers.’”

    Mark 12:31 NIV

    The second is this: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no commandment greater than these.”

    1 Corinthians 11:17 NIV

    17 In the following directives I have no praise for you, for your meetings do more harm than good.

    1) BE SLOW TO CRITIQUE

    Luke 19:47 NIV

    47 Every day he was teaching at the temple. But the chief priests, the teachers of the law and the leaders among the people were trying to kill him.

    2) BE SOFT TO JESUS' REBUKE

    Luke 19:48 NIV

    48 Yet they could not find any way to do it, because all the people hung on his words.

    3) BE QUICK TO RESPOND

    John 13:17 NIV

    Now that you know these things, you will be blessed if you do them.

    Maintaining a Soft Heart in a Hard World

    Jon Fredricks

    Today’s Scripture: Luke 19:41 NIV

    __________

    Luke 19:41 NIV

    41 As he approached Jerusalem and saw the city, he wept over it

    Hebrews 3:8 NIV

    do not harden your hearts as you did in the rebellion, during the time of testing in the wilderness,

    Proverbs 28:14 NIV

    Blessed is the one who always trembles before God, but whoever hardens their heart falls into trouble.

    Matthew 13:15 NIV

    For this people’s heart has become calloused; they hardly hear with their ears, and they have closed their eyes. Otherwise they might see with their eyes, hear with their ears, understand with their hearts and turn, and I would heal them.’

    Proverbs 4:23 NIV

    Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it.

    Ezekiel 36:26 NIV

    I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you; I will remove from you your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh.

    1) S: STILLNESS

    Luke 5:16 NIV

    But Jesus often withdrew to lonely places and prayed.

    Psalm 46:10 NIV

    He says, “Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.”

    2) U: UTILIZE GOD'S WORD

    Matthew 4:4 NIV

    Jesus answered, “It is written: ‘Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.’”

    John 6:63 NIV

    The Spirit gives life; the flesh counts for nothing. The words I have spoken to you—they are full of the Spirit and life.

    3) G: GIVE FORGIVENESS

    Luke 23:34 NIV

    Jesus said, “Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing.” And they divided up his clothes by casting lots.

    4) A: ALLOW FAILURE

    John 2:24 NIV

    But Jesus would not entrust himself to them, for he knew all people.

    5) R: REFUSE ISOLATION

    Hebrews 10:25 NIV

    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.

    John 21:15-17 NIV

    15 When they had finished eating, Jesus said to Simon Peter, “Simon son of John, do you love me more than these?” “Yes, Lord,” he said, “you know that I love you.” Jesus said, “Feed my lambs.” 16 Again Jesus said, “Simon son of John, do you love me?” He answered, “Yes, Lord, you know that I love you.” Jesus said, “Take care of my sheep.” 17 The third time he said to him, “Simon son of John, do you love me?” Peter was hurt because Jesus asked him the third time, “Do you love me?” He said, “Lord, you know all things; you know that I love you.” Jesus said, “Feed my sheep."

    Ezekiel 36:26 NIV

    I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you; I will remove from you your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh.
