“Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not.” (1 John 3:1)
One of the most motivating truths of the Bible is the doctrine that we become sons of God when we are born again through faith in Christ. God then deals with us as a father does with his beloved children. We should therefore respond as obedient children who love their father.
The little epistle of 1 John has many references to this relationship and our consequent responsibilities. In the first place, “ye know that every one that doeth righteousness is born of him” (2:29). “Whosoever is born of God doth not [habitually] commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God” (3:9).
Another attribute of our sonship is brotherly love: “Whosoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ is born of God: and every one that loveth him that begat loveth him also that is begotten of him” (5:1). “Every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God” (4:7). Furthermore, each child of God should have a victorious faith. “For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith” (5:4).
All who are truly sons of God will never lose that holy relationship. “He that is begotten of God keepeth himself, and that wicked one toucheth him not” (5:18). This is because of the fact that “greater is he that is in [us], than he that is in the world” (4:4).
There are many such references in the Bible. All stress that we should reflect the character of the Father in our lives as His children. The glorious, ultimate promise is this: “Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is” (3:2).

27 OCT 2024 · Oct 27,2024 Pastor Jason Roach Psalm 61 - Lead Me To The Rock
Psalm 61
Life has the ability to quickly change
Where our help can come from
Time and circumstance can happen to every man
Hear my cry oh Lord
When we try and shoulder the load alone ... we feel the distance
The storm reminds us how much we need Him
Incredible victory can rise from the storm
Get growth in those moments, God increases
Reminds you can not do it on your own
God is a stronghold, assurance when in trouble
Lead me to the rock
Davis recognized that he needed God
Hear my cry , lead me to the rock
Get me to You before you fix my problem
We need a closeness to you, get rid of this distance , hear my cry
He will never leave you, never left you, get close to you
Like a child , run to you, close to you
Let me get close to you, be with me, that is what matters
Fix the distance first, attend unto my prayer, close to you
A God that is capable, fix the gap,
Just hold me, comfort me, feel the connection between son and father
David acknowledges that he needs God, trusts that he is his strong tower, rock of safety
Close the distance, the distance is a greater problem than the issue
Lead me to the place where the confidence comes back
You can loose confidence, boldness, a place of intimidation.
Just get to your quiet place , into His presence, will get confidence back, boldness back.
There isn't a thing that God can't take you through
Take me to the rock, that is where my help is, my strength is, fortress, shield, banner
The Rock will follow you, will not let you go
We forget that the Rock is there, some time we just have to stop , there is a strength in reserve for you, if you would just stop long enough
There is times we need to get up, and say , God your strength is with me , He can lift you, lift you up, carry you
Lead me to you, to the place,
Sometimes you have to get the flesh in subjection of the spirit
2nd Chronicles 20:12
Get our eyes on the Lord
Oh God hear our cry, hear our prayer
God has a plan for our lives
Lead me to the Rock
Restore right relationship God
A passion for the presence
With a passion you don't have to get warmed up no more
The goodness and the faithfulness of God
Lead me to the Rock
Let it get a hold on me
The word is full of encouragement
Get in the word, close the gap
Encourage one another in faith
Invite to let God be your refuge, make everything brand new
Psalm 61:8
Turn our heart to Him
So will I sing praise unto thy name for ever, that I may daily perform my vows.
Lead me to the Rock
All my life you have been faithful
So so good
Every breath that I am able
I can see the goodness of God

Luke 10:25-27
What must I do to inherit eternal life ?
Love God with all your ...
Neighbour I Love You
And, behold, a certain lawyer stood up, and tempted him, saying, Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life? He said unto him, What is written in the law? how readest thou? And he answering said, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind; and thy neighbour as thyself.
Who is my neighbour? The Good Samaritan story Luke 10:30
The people outside these 4 walls, these are the people left half dead, left alone
Priest and Levites , chose cleanliness, to remain pure, over helping the half dead man, over loving their neighbour
We need to take a few extra seconds, to take a few moments and not have a priest or Levite like attitude , and to just live our neighbour and share the love of Jesus
Those devises that are to improve communications have pulled us apart from one another
We should be using to share the good news, looking to the fields that are ripe and ready
Surrender all to God
Lift up and you will begin to see
Luke 10:37
Go and do likewise.
You are my neighbour, because you are my neighbour, I love you
You are valuable, You are loved by God
Embrace of Jesus tugging on your heart, he is working on you
May God give us a true love for our neighbour no matter what
Show the love of Jesus
Jesus loves you my friend, my neighbour
Let me tell you about my Jesus
1 Corinthians 13:1
Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal. And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing. And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing.
Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up, Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil; Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth; Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things.
Charity never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away. For we know in part, and we prophesy in part. But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away.
Everyone needs compassion, He is mighty to save

She was disqualified, she did not run the race
If you have a favourite person and you can anticipate their response in certain situations. How did that happen?
Did you get that close that you can anticipate?
1:7 Proverbs
The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge:
but fools despise wisdom and instruction.
Consider the Fear of the Lord is the beginning point
If you have not developed relationship you have missed some points to start
It's the beginning, of knowledge, beginning of wisdom
2:5 Proverbs
Then shalt thou understand the fear of the LORD,
and find the knowledge of God.
2:3-5
Yea, if thou criest after knowledge,
and liftest up thy voice for understanding;
If thou seekest her as silver,
and searchest for her as for hid treasures;
Then shalt thou understand the fear of the LORD,
and find the knowledge of God.
Prospecting is hard work, goal to it, if you want to know God then you have to put the work into it
Like a married couple , put the work into it, do what you have to do to get the relationship
Put the work in to know that person
Over the years put the work in continuously to know your mate, as we all grow and change over time
Intimacy, inner most secrets , two parties working together to get to know each other better
Develop a deeper relationship
139 Psalm 1-4
O LORD, thou hast searched me, and known me.
Thou knowest my downsitting and mine uprising,
thou understandest my thought afar off.
Thou compassest my path and my lying down,
and art acquainted with all my ways.
For there is not a word in my tongue,
but, lo, O LORD, thou knowest it altogether.
David gives insight on putting in the work to know him
Genesis 4:1
And Adam knew Eve his wife; and she conceived, and bare Cain, and said, I have gotten a man from the LORD.
God knew David, put in the work to know , an intimate relationship, innermost secrets that are known
The relationship he desires from us, he wants to have relationship with us
Desires deep closeness in relationship with us
Life changes a person, God will examine the heart as he desires to know the person
Ephesians 3:18-19
May be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height; And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God.
God has done his work, he examines
Exodus 33:12-13
And Moses said unto the LORD, See, thou sayest unto me, Bring up this people: and thou hast not let me know whom thou wilt send with me. Yet thou hast said, I know thee by name, and thou hast also found grace in my sight. Now therefore, I pray thee, if I have found grace in thy sight, shew me now thy way, that I may know thee, that I may find grace in thy sight: and consider that this nation is thy people.
God is calling us to get to know Him
We have to put in the effort
Matthew 7:22-23
Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in
thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
Psalms 27:8-9
Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in
thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
God we need to know you the way you know me
Do you and do I do we fear the Lord so we know him the way he knows us ?

Complaining Spirit
Obedient to the word of God and not filtered through the trends of todays society , so we are not fitting in to the culture today
We are to Please the Father and not the flesh
Obey even when it makes no sense
No personal benefit
Even when painful
And ...
We may question God, there is wisdom in the results
Warning lights.... you're about to be in trouble
Proverbs 4:23
Jeremiah 17:9
The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?
To preserve the new heart put in us, keep that heart with all diligence, trust your gut , that gut feeling
Gut warning when faced with a situation
God has given us a warning system, a conscious system
It can be sharpened or dulled , fear of God
Hebrews 10:22
Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water.
Understand the conscious needs to be guarded , or it will be dulled
1Timothy 1:18-19
This charge I commit unto thee, son Timothy, according to the prophecies which went before on thee, that thou by them mightest war a good warfare; Holding faith, and a good conscience; which some having put away concerning faith have made shipwreck:
Paul knows shipwreck
We have been born into a sinful and fallen world
All have sinned and fell short of the glory of God
2 Corinthians 5:15-19
And that he died for all, that they which live should not henceforth live unto themselves, but unto him which died for them, and rose again.
Wherefore henceforth know we no man after the flesh: yea, though we have known Christ after the flesh, yet now henceforth know we him no more. Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation; To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation.
We also understand that we are washed in the blood , all things have become new , keep the new heart with all diligence , keep your conscious , we have been redeemed
A miracle if exchange , my old nature for a Christ like nature
Protect what God has rejuvenated in our life
Learn to walk after the spirit and not after the flesh
2 Samuel 24: Recounting the later days of David's life
V1
There is times that God allows certain things,
Why ?
David was putting his confidence in numbers , a large enough army
What matters is does your tribe trust in God ?
Psalm 20:7-8
Some trust in chariots, and some in horses:
but we will remember the name of the LORD our God.
They are brought down and fallen:
but we are risen, and stand upright.
This is the issue, the problem of the numbering of the army
David realizes his sinful pride
God will direct your steps, it is vital , He will give you direction
Your never going to outgrow the attraction of sin, stay alert and on Gaurd
Never underestimate the price of sin
Don't ignore the whispers of conscience
James 1:20-22
For the wrath of man worketh not the righteousness of God.
Wherefore lay apart all filthiness and superfluity of naughtiness, and receive with meekness the engrafted word, which is able to save your souls.
But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.
We have to make up our mind to walk in obedience. If we walk in self deception we weaken our life
Unattended we sear our conscience
Grace and mercy are always available, the issue is to ...
Learn to walk,
1Timothy 4:1-2
Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils;
A good conscious maintains integrity
Of your consciousness is seared it no longer feels, locks your conscious up and ...
We have been made new, cleansed
How do we keep a clear consciousness?
Guard our heart with all diligence
What can we do? Spiritual disciplines , Prayer, read the word, do what it says , fasting ...
The closer you get to God, the enemy gets harder in his attack in many ways

Self denial
We all have tasks, things we start , that are left undone
Is it possible to reach the full potential without completing it ?
Jobs left undone, we all have things,
Life comes and our attention takes it away

He gave the responsibility to humanity to build it
There is a building of the kingdom of God, a huge responsibility
We have been adopted into

1Samuel 9:21
The story of King Saul
Before he was King, before he had the responsibility of King
Samuel speaks to bring out insight , Saul shows humility , Saul was hiding from the anointing. Yet Saul lost the Holy fear that he once had
1Samuel 15:4
Saul did 99% of the job, and Gods response was he was sorry he made him King , he didn't finish the job
For rebellion is like the sin of witch craft and stubbornness as bad as worshipping idols
Obedience is important to God
What is sin? Instructions negated
1John 3:4
Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law.
Sin can also have inaction when it is an affront to God
Saul did not place holy fear at the top of his completion list
Why do you focus on the little and not the complete task
Obedience is from beginning middle to the end
God uses such strong language
Proverbs 4:23
Keep thy heart with all diligence;
for out of it are the issues of life.
God knows the heart
The heart governs all aspects of man, all issues flow out of the heart, the seat of the will
From the fountain of your heart flow all
Jeremiah 17:9
The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?
God knows the heart and man doesn't
1Samuel 15:15 Saul is confronted by Samuel
Saul lacked Godly fear, in fact he feared man
Doing what seemed right in his eyes
A process that turns a heart away from God is slow, a slow process.
Obedience in completion, finish what God has in-trusted in us
What in meekness and humility
Hebrews points us in a direction , author and finisher of our faith
Jesus said it is finished
If we can run the race in patience
Luke 17:10
So likewise ye, when ye shall have done all those things which are commanded you, say, We are unprofitable servants: we have done that which was our duty to do.
