Scripture: Luke 10:25-37 - live in the house of the Good Samaritan - picture the person - picture the amount of money used - picture the beaten - be like the Samaritan 
How to study the Bible better - teaching midweek 
-point 1: Read different translations - read it over and over again - get different things in a different translations - use different words and some ideas - understand it better 
-read a little before and a little after to get all the context  
-Live with the story 
-point 2: context - immediate (above and below) -remote (whole bible)  
-immediate- to see what is going on in the story/parable 
-remote- to make sure the story/parable fits in the context of the whole bible - if it doesn't fit = not a good translation 
-who is it happening to/who is the audidence/what is going on/what is being said/why is it being said/where is it happening 
-Ask question - what moved you- find what moved then - ask what they see 
-point 3: Background- research - can't get from just reading bible - study Bibles, online, sermons, talks, books - have to be willing to dig  
-point 4: Genre - different kinds of literature throughout the bible - wisdom/romantic/prophetic/historical/narrative/poetry/apocalyptic/gospels-biographical  
-dont mix genres - can get in trouble 
MLK- Going to the Mountain Top 
-"let us develop a dangerous unselfishness...'if I don't stop and help this man what to him'...don't think 'if I stop and help what will happen to me'" (on The Good Samaritan)

“But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. Against such things there is no law.” Galatians 5:22-23. The fruit of the Spirit is all things that we should be. Jesus came into this earth in order for us to be saved from eternal death and also to be an example for us. Jesus never turned a blind eye. He embraced everyone with open arms. You have to work hard everyday to strengthen ourselves in these categories. We have be able to portray these characteristics in order to bear good fruit. We have to love one another, even our enemies. We gain joy by believing in Jesus and following his teachings. There is everlasting joy just knowing he has our back even during the tough times. We have to bring peace to this world that is full of hate and evil. There is constant war and battle, we have to be that loving, peaceful hand in the toughest of situations. We have to be faithful. Faith is a strong attribute as a fo...

“For everything that was written in the past was written to teach us, so that through the endurance taught in the Scriptures and the encouragement they provide we might have hope.” Romans 15:4. Everything, and I mean everything, in the Bible was written for us. From Genesis all the way to Revelations. Even the books of law in Exodus, Deuteronomy, and Leviticus. All that is written can be used to spread the word and love of Jesus. “ALL Scripture is god-breathed” (2 Tim. 3:16). It is used to teach, rebuke, correct, and train.It is “sharper than any double-edge sword” (Hebrews 4:12). It is alive and active. Everything that is written in the Bible no matter the time period is still relevant today. We age, but God doesn’t. That is why it is important to continually be in the Scripture. We have to continually read, study, and talk about it. We have to train in righteousness and be ready for the day when Jesus comes back. We are are in a constant battle with darkness, because we live in dar...

Daily Devotional: 6/13/2018 - LAZARUS PT. 2

"Boy I hopped up out of the grave, good morning!" Trip Lee - "Lazarus" Now it is time to compare literature with literature, keep your Bibles open to John 11 and open your technological devices to Rap Genius Trip Lee: Lazarus. We first looked at the story in the Bible, now we look at a song that is inspired by the story. Trip Lee is the man. A man with many talents and many titles; he is a pastor, blogger ( http://builttobrag.com/ ), writer, rapper, and father. He was one of the first to join Lecrae over at Reach Records, back in the day where overly baggy shirts and overly baggy pants were the thing (the early 2000s were an interesting time). So far he has written two books, The Good Life (in the progress of reading) and Rise (read, it is such a great read). He has racked up six albums If Only They Knew (2006), 20/20 (2008), Between Two Worlds (2010), The Good Life (2012), Rise (2014), and The Waiting Room (2016). The song Lazarus is from the Rise co...
