TANGENTRIDER BLOG--God's Treasured Possession
Exodus 19:5-6
Now therefore, if you will indeed obey my voice and keep my covenant, you shall be my treasured possession among all peoples, for all the earth is mine; and you shall be to me a kingdom of priests and a holy nation. These are the words that you shall speak to the people of Israel.
1 Peter 2:9
But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for his own possession, that you may proclaim the excellencies of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light.
At the first Pentecost, with the people shaking in fear at the foot of Sinai, God gave his people Torah--the instructions by which they might become who they truly are: Gods treasured possession. Nearly 1,500 years later at Pentecost, with the people gathered in an upper room in Jerusalem, God gave the Spirit--himself present in the soul of each and among them all that they--we--might become who we truly are: a people for his own possession.
When we gather, feasting on the Word and engaging the Spirit, we are becoming who we truly are: Gods treasured possession, a people of his very own. Our Tuesday Gatherings will change in the coming weeks and months, if we are attentive and rest in his presence.
I ask you to join me: feast on his Word daily, come pray weekly (Tuesdays at 7:15 pm), and speak what God tells you.

SERMON NOTES--HOW TO FACE YOUR FUTURE
A LIFE TRANSFORMED BY FAITH, Part 12
James 4:13-17
Pastor Charlie
June 11, 2006
COMMON MISTAKES TO AVOID
MISTAKE #1: PLANNING WITHOUT GOD (v. 13)
SOLUTION: INCLUDE GOD IN YOUR GOAL SETTING (v. 15). Proverbs 16:1; 16:9
Responses to God's will:
1. I can make reference to it.
2. I can show deference to it.
3. I can show preference for it.
MISTAKE #2: PRESUMING ABOUT TOMORROW (v. 14, 16)
SOLUTION: LIVE ONE DAY AT A TIME Matthew 6:34
1. Life is unpredictable ("you don't even know").
2. Life is brief ("you are a mist"). Isaiah 56:12; Proverbs 27:1
MISTAKE #3: PUTTING OFF DOING GOOD (v. 17)
SOLUTION: DO IT NOW. Proverbs 3:27-28; luke 12:16-21
"RIGHT NOW God is ready to welcome you. TODAY He is ready to save you!"
(2 Corinthians 6:2, LBP).
