Mark 6:1-6
John 1:6-18
Romans 8:18-25
Isaiah 53:1-2,10-12
Luke 24:27-35
1. To reveal something is to point it out and demonstrate it. it was already there... you're just revealing it.
2. Our hands have the ability to transmit intellect or understanding.
-consecration
-sacrifice
-healing
-resurrection
-correction/smiting
-blessing
-anointing of the Holy Ghost, hand of God
3. We can sit on our hands because we are trying to save ourselves and promote ourselves (and that leads to anger and abuse of our neighbor). Lift Jesus and reveal him.
*Altar call:
-your hands were specially designed to reveal God to this world that doesn't recognize him.
-They might say they do... but they don't recognize God.
-Think of somebody you know that doesn't recognize God (like you do). And extend yourself. Reach out to them in skill and sacrifice, and when they say ah... now I see... don't abuse them for it, they will reveal it in turn.

Faith Tried In God's Mouth
Matthew 8:5-12
Hebrew's 11:4-6
Psalms 51:15-19
Genesis 4:3-8
1. Faith toward God is so fundamental to what's going on with us that if we don't understand it, we are seriously stunted.
2.When your in the mouth of God, you're getting shifted around a bit
-God has a very discerning pallet
-sacrifice has to be by faith
-God knows what pleases him
-Lack of growth on our faith doesn't please God
3. We are so quick to misdirect our faith that we will put on our lucky socks
4. Altar call: we need to grow in our faith. Those things that disturb us, should either not do that, or we need movement on a plan to solve it.

The Fulfilment of Law of Faith
Luke 24:44-53
Romans 3:27-31
Luke 4:20-23
-Faith by itself is not an action but a confidence, therefore for faith to even have a law implies some action (or restraint from action).
-Some people you can do wonders for, but they will not accept your faith because they treasure their own. Physician heal thyself.
-We need to always check with God and not turn our faith into our deeds
-The destination of the Christian faith is so great that we need to stay tuned to get it because it is too great to reveal to us who are holding on to competing faiths
-We get a little from God, and we are to take that little and grow it, not destroy it. But when we think we have much and yet be afraid we're going to lose it.
-The methodist seeks for a method but is the faith in the method rather than the method giver
1. Certain things in our life require a fulfillment process and while we wait we work to believe further
-Perfection being the fulfillment
2. We need God to help us understand what we already thought we knew and bring it together.
-It's not only scripture, but its real life events and experiences
-God starts in smallness but expects us to treat small right
3. Our faith can become tied up in ritual and Jesus was getting ready to leave his disciples. The disciples then had to turn the direction God pointed them in
-The methodist can turn all their faith toward the method and miss the revision (bike revelation)
4. Alter call: some of us have given up on an experience we don't understand. But God intended it to work with your faith and bring it and your faith to perfection/fulfillment.

Approval rating
-We can try desperately to receive the approval of certain people and only receive marginal gains
-The gains we do receive if we do get their approval will go to God's plan for those of us who have submitted the unfolding events of our lives to the will of God.
-Approval gets us a reaction against our adversaries and adversities, approval is a widening of the door of petition
-But people love the praises of men more than God's praises.
-Paul had to exceed the pharisees, the religious elite. There can be one person in our lives God puts there to say, now do better than them or get past them
Acts 23:1-11
John 12:40-43
Matthew 5:20
1. when you have something to say, not every ear is in the right place to receive it
2. seeking approval from certain places is a hard habit to break. Even leadership might not have your approval certificate.
3. Getting approval from an invisible God.
4. You will begin to accomplish more when you can say and do despite being rejected. then you are sowing abundantly. so the investment of affection doesn't seem like its returning... so what... is God with you?

Love & Food
John 6:48-5
-Again John gives many great "I AM" statements as a way to describe Jesus.
-we have gone from feeding the multitude bread and fish, to feeding them human flesh and blood. But ultimately this is our communion with God and eachother
-your diet is your strength, not your natural diet... but what you watch, listen too and talk about.
