The Wisdom of God
18 The message of the cross is foolish to those who are headed for destruction! But we who are being saved know it is the very power of God.
Philippians 2:3-5 New Living Translation (NLT)lippians 2:3
3 Don’t be selfish; don’t try to impress others. Be humble, thinking of others as better than yourselves. 4 Don’t look out only for your own interests, but take an interest in others, too. 5 You must have the same attitude that Christ Jesus had.
As followers of Jesus Christ we are to live to conform to the image of Christ. When Jesus was on this earth He lived and taught as an example of how we are to live, He was God’s model for us.

John 4 – The Woman At The Well
On Thursday evenings I have the honor of going to the Jail in our city and bring the Gospel of Jesus Christ to broken women. Last Thursday I preached on being a Prisoner of Shame to my girls of J Pod. This woman we read about in John chapter 4 has a bad reputation, she’s been married 5 times and is living with another man, that isn’t her husband. She runs with the wrong crowd and she is definetly no angel.
Because of her reputation and the shame she felt because of it she would wait until the hottest part of the day to go to the well to get water. Most of the women went first thing in the morning before the noon day sun. Not this women, she was too ashamed so she wanted to avoid contact with the…

Romans 12:6-8
New Living Translation (NLT)
6 In his grace, God has given us different gifts for doing certain things well. So if God has given you the ability to prophesy, speak out with as much faith as God has given you. If your gift is serving others, serve them well. If you are a teacher, teach well. If your gift is to encourage others, be encouraging. If it is giving, give generously. If God has given you leadership ability, take the responsibility seriously. And if you have a gift for showing kindness to others, do it gladly.
