“Earn as much as you can. Save as much as you can. Invest as much as you can. Give as much as you can.”
(John Wesley, English Evangelist and Founder of Methodism)
“Americans are especially vulnerable to an appeal that says,
‘Give us your dollars, but not your sons and daughters.’ If we do not, missionary vision will die within a generation,
and the dollars will also eventually stlp.” (Roger Hedlund, Author)
Reflect . . . Why do you think God can use the faith of little children to accomplish big things for God’s glory? Why is it important for you to cultivate childlike faith in your giving? Prayer . . . Heavenly Father, help us to understand that “little can become much” when you are in it. Amen.

ty and security of eve-ryone, your backpack or bag may be inspected.
Thanks for your cooper-ation!

Hoping in God
When our “hope is built on nothing less than Jesus’ blood and righteousness,” as one of my favorite old hymns states, the desire and expectation of this fulfillment can never disappoint us. It is only our own dreams, ideas and plans that are outside God’s desires for us that cause us to lose hope and be disappointed.
Hope and new beginnings are fresh every morning. It is not necessary to wait for a circumstance to bring hope. Hope, real hope, comes when we lay down our own ideas and plans … our mind, will and emotions … before God as a hand of cards dealt and say to Him, “How would YOU play them?”

“Don’t Force Your Will”
April 5, 2020 Dr. Roger Ball
[email protected] Even during the Coronavirus, living for and with Jesus each day must be the greatest human experience on earth. Agree? Like Adam and Eve in the cool sin-free garden (before they tried to force their will on God) they “freely” walked and talked in a special relationship with God. “Context” Three Point Introduction to “Don’t Force Your Will” #1 – Monday: Jesus ”Freely” Feeds ________________________ John 6:1-14 John 6:11 – Jesus therefore took the loaves; and having given thanks, He distributed to those who were seated; likewise also of the fish as much as they wanted. John 6:14 – When therefore the people saw the sign which He had performed, they said “This is of a truth the Prophet who is to come into the world.” #2 – Tuesday: Jesus “Freely” Says ______________________ John 6:15 – Jesus therefore perceiving that they were intending to come and take Him by force, to make Him king, withdrew again to the mountain by Himself alone. Based on John 6 we have a miracle on Monday, no miracle on Tuesday (John 6:15) and a miracle on Wednesday. Notice the pattern – a miracle on Monday, no miracle on Tuesday and a miracle on Wednesday.
#3 – Wednesday: Jesus “Freely” _________________________ John 6:16-25 (April 19 sermon)
Six Lessons on “Don’t Force Your Will” ________
__________________________________________
#1 - Jesus knows _______________ and every _______________
(so why try to force your will on Jesus)
John 6:15 – Jesus therefore perceiving that they were intending to come and take Him by force, to make Him king, withdrew again to the mountain by Himself alone.
Can’t hide anything from God.
#2 - Some people try to misuse the _________________ for
personal advantage
To create a political king John 6:15 – Jesus therefore perceiving that they were intending to come and take Him by force, to make Him king, withdrew again to the mountain by Himself alone.
#3 - Jesus retreats to show ____________ and _____________
John 6:15 – Jesus therefore perceiving that they were intending to come and take Him by force, to make Him king, withdrew again to the mountain by Himself alone.
#4 - Name your miracle and claim it is _____________________
John 6:15 – Jesus therefore perceiving that they were intending to come and take Him by force, to make Him king, withdrew again to the mountain by Himself alone. You cannot command Jesus
#5 - Jesus meets your needs the way He ___________________
John 6:15 – Jesus therefore perceiving that they were intending to come and take Him by force, to make Him king, withdrew again to the mountain by Himself alone.
#6 - Never forget Psalm 130:5
Psalm 130:5 – I wait for the Lord, my soul does wait, And in His word do I hope. Three Commands:
A. I ______________ _______________
B. I ______________ _______________
C. As promised God will ______________
