(http://www.pastordanwalker.org/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/101107.jpg)Currently, we’re in a message series called “40 Days with Jesus” based on the Sermon on the Mount. In our series, we’re discovering that Jesus doesn’t pull any punches when He preaches. He is serious about the kind of life that He expects His disciples to live. Jesus is dead set against any kind of hypocrisy in His followers. He is interested in our hearts becoming full of God and our actions following our hearts. The wonderful thing is that as we learn from and follow Jesus’ commands in this passage, we lay a firm foundation for a blessed life. Today, we’ll be looking at a passage from Matthew 7 and I’ve entitled this message “Jesus on Humility.” Of course, the opposite of humility is pride, which is a primary motivator for the hypocrisy that Jesus condemned. As adults, we sometimes play games that aren’t so good. One game we may play could be called “Let’s Label.” To play the game, you first find someone who is different from you, that’s not hard to do. Then you carefully look them over and form a negative or critical opinion of them. That’s not hard to do either, they’re different from you. Then you mentally stick a label on the person and freely share your thoughts and labels with others. Jesus called the Let’s Label game “judging” and He commanded His followers not to play it. Matthew 7:1 (NIV) Do not judge, or you too will be judged. In other words, don’t play the label game or someone will put a label on you as well. Why shouldn’t we judge others? We never know everything about another person. We cannot know the other person’s motives. We have our own biases and aren’t objective in our judging. When we judge others, we put ourselves into the position of God Himself, which is the essence of pride. I read a story of a young attorney at a large law firm. The head of the firm set out a row of huge turkeys for his employees every Thanksgiving, one turkey for each one. The young attorney was single, lived alone, had no use for a huge turkey, but he took one every year. One year, his close friends in the law office replaced his turkey with a paper-mache turkey, weighted and wrapped just like a real turkey. The young attorney picked his turkey up as usual and got on a bus to go home with it. On the bus, he sat next to a man who proceeded to tell him that he’d been looking for a job all day with no luck. He had a large family and nothing to feed them for Thanksgiving. So, the attorney decided to give the man the turkey, but in order not injure his pride, he sold it to him for a couple of dollars. The man was moved to tears about the gift turkey. The next day, his friends at work were dying to know his reaction to the turkey. When he told them about selling the fake turkey, everyone was mortified. They rode the bus for a week, but never saw the jobless man again. What do you think the jobless man thought of the attorney? I’m sure he thought the attorney was the lowest of the low, he would have been sorely tempted to judge him. But the attorney had been trying to do a good deed, he had simply been fooled himself. Don't judge others, for you never know all the facts. Listen to my November 7, 2010 message "Jesus on Humility."

Faith That Wins

What Is Faith?

Hebrews 11:6 (NIV) And without faith it is impossible to please God, We need faith, not just to go to heaven, but to live life here and now on this earth. In our passage today, (http://www.pastordanwalker.org/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/101031.jpg)Faith is incredibly important. Hebrews 11:6 (NIV) And without faith it is impossible to please God, We need faith, not just to go to heaven, but to live life here and now on this earth. In our passage today, Jesus is going to talk quite a big about the biggest enemy of faith.  I believe that the biggest enemy of faith is worry. The Bible condemns worry in multiple places, including our passage today, yet it is often considered an acceptable sin. Worry is basically looking at the future in a negative way and becoming afraid or worried about it. People are worried about all kinds of things. People are worried about the economy, their investments, their jobs, taxes their bills, their mortgages. What do all those things have in common? People are worried about money. Jesus has something to say about money this morning. People are worried about all kinds of other things, including their health, their relationships, their children, and the list can go on and on. What does worry bring you? Nothing good at all. In fact, it can damage your health, waste your time and make you an unpleasant person to be around. Why is worry wrong? The Bible calls worry sin. Worry is wrong because it is the opposite of faith. If you’re trusting God, you won’t be worrying. If you’re worrying, you’re not trusting God. To put it positively, faith drives away worry. Do you want to live free from worry? If you learn and apply what Jesus has to teach us today, you can live worry-free. God wants to encourage everyone to trust Him in every area of their lives. So, think about the areas of concern, the areas of your life where you are tempted to worry. Let God speak to you today through His word and help your faith to grow strong. Remember, faith drives away worry.

Overcoming a Judgmental Attitude

Why Relationships Are Important

]]> http://www.pastordanwalker.org/2010/10/why-motives-are-important.htm/feed 0 Jesus,message,purpose Today my message is called “Jesus on Motives.” Motives are the inward thoughts or reasons behind our words and behaviors. Other people can’t see your motives, only you and God truly know the motives behind your actions. (http://www.pastordanwalker.org/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/101024.jpg)Today my message is called “Jesus on Motives.” Motives are the inward thoughts or reasons behind our words and behaviors. Other people can’t see your motives, only you and God truly know the motives behind your actions. Motives have a lot to do with our hearts. As we are going through the Sermon on the Mount, we are seeing that Jesus had a lot to say about our heart attitudes or motives. Why should you be concerned with your motives? We’re going to see today that when you do the right things with the right motives, God will bless you. If you do the right things with the wrong motives, you get zero blessing. And of course if you do the wrong things in life, things won’t go well with you. Sometimes people wonder why God blesses others who appear to be doing the same things they are, but they aren’t blessed. One of the possible reasons could be motives. We are carefully studying Jesus’ words, because as we learn to follow them with God’s help, our lives will be blessed in increased measure. Matthew 6:1 (NIV) "Be careful not to do your 'acts of righteousness' before men, to be seen by them. If you do, you will have no reward from your Father in heaven. This statement by Jesus sums up everything we’re going to be talking about today. He says the His disciples must not do good things before others with the motivation to be seen by others. If you have this wrong motivation, you will get no blessing or reward from God. Now, if you’ve been following this message series, we talked earlier about Jesus’ statement in Matthew 5:16 (NIV) In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven. Isn’t that a contradiction? In Matthew 5, Jesus tells us to let others see our good deeds and in Matthew 6, He says don’t do your good deeds before men. No, it’s not a contradiction, it’s a difference of motives. In Matthew 5, the motivation in doing good deeds before people is so that God is praised. In Matthew 6, Jesus warns us to not do our good deeds before men in order to be seen or praised by them. Jesus is warning us against the hypocrisy of the religious leaders who had wrong motives. John 12:43 (NIV) for they loved praise from men more than praise from God. That is a wrong motivation for good deeds. So what we have here is truth in tension. We are to do good deeds before others, so God is praised. Yet, we must be careful not to do those same good deeds in order to receive praise for ourselves. In this passage, in Matthew 6:1-18, Jesus is going to instruct us about three kinds of good deeds. In each instance, Jesus begins his instruction by saying, When you … and then goes on. Jesus is assuming, or perhaps we should say commanding every follower to practice these three things in their lives. But when we practice them, we must have the right heart attitude or motivation in order to be rewarded or blessed by God. Listen to my October 24, 2010 message "Jesus on Motives."

(http://www.pastordanwalker.org/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/101017.jpg)We’re going to be looking at what Jesus has to say about living out God’s plan for your relationships. In our current message series, 40 Days with Jesus, we’re going through Jesus’ famous teaching in the Sermon on the Mount in Matthew 5-7. Relationships were invented by God. People were created so that we could have a relationship with God and with one another. Relationships bring much blessing into our lives, but also sometimes conflict and pain. How can your relationships be everything that God intends them to be? The answer is by understanding the principles of God’s Word and then applying them to your life with the help of the Holy Spirit. It is the Holy Spirit that illuminates God’s Word and shows us how to practically apply it to our lives. Matthew 5:19 (NIV) … whoever practices and teaches these commands will be called great in the kingdom of heaven. In order to teach God’s Word, you have to understand what it says. However, that’s not enough. God desires for each person to understand, teach and practice God’s Word. What did Jesus call those who understand and teach God’s Word, but don’t practice it? Hypocrites. We don’t want to be hypocrites but devoted followers of Jesus. Jesus goes on to say Matthew 5:20 (NIV) For I tell you that unless your righteousness surpasses that of the Pharisees and the teachers of the law, you will certainly not enter the kingdom of heaven. You see the religious teachers of the day appeared to have it all together. They thought they understood God’s Word and they taught it to others. Yet, Jesus says here that these teachers weren’t even saved. Why? Because, as we’ll see, their so-called righteousness was only in outward appearances. In their hearts they were not right with God, they were hypocrites. The teachers did not practice what they taught. Managing outward appearances with no change of heart just doesn’t work. But isn’t there just a touch of the truth there? Don’t we sometimes say one thing, but think quite another in our hearts? What if the thoughts of our hearts came out, rather than the words we want others to hear? Let’s remember as we go through Jesus’ teaching that God wants our outward actions and words to reflect a pure and honest heart within. In this section of Matthew 5, we will see Jesus teach on 6 aspects of relationships. In each aspect, Jesus begins by saying, “You have heard … And I say to you.” What people had heard had to do with outward actions. Jesus deals with heart attitudes. Listen to my October 17, 2010 message "Jesus on Relationships."

(http://www.pastordanwalker.org/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/101003jpg.jpg)Today we begin a new message series called “40 Days with Jesus.” I believe the content of this series has the potential to make a radical difference in the lives of everyone here. Why? Because we’re going to be studying the most famous teaching of Jesus called the Sermon on the Mount. This teaching of Jesus is found in Matthew 5-7 and we’ll be going through these 3 chapters verse by verse over the next 40 days or so in October and November. Before we get into the first section of the Sermon on the Mount, let’s look at the whole passage in summary. I believe that Jesus’ teaching could be best summarized in Matthew 6:8 (NIV) Do not be like them … Who is the ‘them’ we are not to be like? As you read the whole passage, which I’d encourage you to do this week, you’ll see the ‘them’ is hypocrites. What is a hypocrite? A hypocrite is a person who claims to have certain beliefs, but his behavior in his life shows he is not sincere. A hypocrite is someone who wears a beautiful mask, but underneath things are not so beautiful. A hypocrite is not who they seem to be. Now, before we all excuse ourselves, because we aren’t hypocrites, but we sure know a few, I believe that we all have some hypocrisy to deal with in our lives. As long as we are sinners, we try to cover up that sin and appear better than we really are. Jesus hates hypocrisy, but he loves authenticity. Being who you say you are. Being in private, the same as you appear in public. That’s what I want for myself and everyone in this church. Jesus’ message in the Sermon on the Mount is not just negative, he also shows us what a true follower, a true disciple of Jesus should live like. In the very first section of the sermon, Jesus shows us what the character of a disciple should be. Today, I’ve entitled my message ‘Jesus on Character.” Every believer is to be a disciple of Jesus, a follower of Jesus. If someone is not a disciple of Jesus, then they’re not a believer. In today’s message, we’re going to be looking at the 8 beatitudes, found in Matthew 5. Each one begins with the phrase “Blessed are ... and then Jesus describes a character trait of a disciple.” What does it mean to be blessed? Someone who is blessed by God is content, they are fulfilled, they are filled with joy, their needs are met. So, today, we’re going to look at 8 character qualities that God wants to build into your life, so that you’ll be blessed and equipped to fulfill God’s purpose for your life.

(http://www.pastordanwalker.org/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/100404.jpg)I believe that the event Easter celebrates is the most important event in world history. On Easter we celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead. If the resurrection had not occurred, we would not be meeting here today. Nor would we remember Jesus Christ or have a New Testament. Without the resurrection, life would be incredibly more dark and evil than it is. The resurrection of Jesus changed the world and it changed history. Every time you write a date, it is based on the resurrection. Easter split history into AD and BC. What happened on Easter still is changing things today. Easter is changing individual lives like mine and yours over 2000 years later. Today, we’re going to look at how Easter can make a difference in your life. We’re kicking off a new message series on Easter called “Growing Through Life.” In this series, we’re going to see how to face the difficulties of life with a completely different approach and attitude. We’re going to discover how not just to get by, but to learn and grow from every experience in life. Today, I’ve named my message “The Point of Life.” This message will prepare you for the rest of the series which will run throughout April. We’re going to ask and answer the question of “what is the point of life?” Why are you and here on this earth? What is our purpose in life? Easter holds the key to discovering the point of life. Easter opens the door to the great life that God created you to live. Your life doesn’t have to stay the same. Do you want to see change for the better in your life? Because of Easter you can. If God could raise Jesus from the dead, He can change your life. Easter gives us hope to dream again. Perhaps you have had shattered dreams in the past. You had dreams of a better life but things haven’t seemed to work out. God wants you to begin to dream again today. God wants you to begin to dream again of not just a better life but of a great life. And God doesn’t just want you to dream, He wants to begin to change you today so that your dream of a great life can become reality. Jesus said in Matthew 18:4 (NIV) Therefore, whoever humbles himself like this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven. Do you want to have a great life? To be great in the eyes of God? It begins by becoming as humble as a little child, by becoming open to change. A small child is learning and changing at an amazing rate. By the age of 3, the number of connections between brain cells approaches adult levels One quadrillion connections have been formed in a child’s brain by the age of 3. A child has learned to speak, to eat, to walk and to interact socially. An incredible rate of change has occurred in the young child’s life. God has made children open to change. In order to see our lives change, we must be open to letting God change us. Change for your life will not happen merely by a change in outward circumstances. If you want to have a great life, you must be open to changing from the inside out. This morning we’re going to learn from Easter about three doors we must open in order to discover the point of life.

Christmas is the time of year we remember when God came to this earth as a baby boy named Jesus. We send all those Christmas cards with pictures of Jesus in the manger. Underneath our Christmas trees are Nativity sets with baby Jesus next to the donkeys and sheep. There’s nothing wrong with that, as that’s what happened 2000 years ago. However, somehow, subtly, what gets etched into our minds is Jesus as a baby. What thoughts come to your mind when you think of Jesus as a baby? Probably sentimental thoughts of a sweet cuddly baby. What can babies do for you? Not much, they need to be taken care of. So when you’re facing a big problem in your life, the thought of baby Jesus coming to your rescue doesn’t lead to much confidence. In fact, if our view of Jesus is too small, than our view of our problems will be too big. Your view of Jesus will determine the amount of fear and worry you have in your life. The smaller your view of Jesus, the more you will fear. The bigger your view of Jesus, the less you will fear. How big is Jesus in your mind? The Jesus that was born on Christmas was God Himself, the God that created the universe. That’s pretty big. There’s no one bigger than that. Here’s what Jesus told His disciples about fear. Matthew 10:28 (NLT) Don’t be afraid of those who want to kill your body; they cannot touch your soul. Fear only God, who can destroy both soul and body in hell. A believer should not fear even if someone is out to kill you. Why? Because even if they kill you, your soul will be safe in heaven. However, there is one fear that every believer should have, the fear of God. Jesus gives the ultimate reason to fear God. We fear God because our lives and our eternal destiny are in His hands. In other words, when you fear God completely, you will fear nothing else. The fear of God is mentioned throughout Scripture, yet is not talked about much today. Proverbs 3:7 (NIV) Do not be wise in your own eyes; fear the LORD and shun evil. The fear of the Lord will keep you humble and keep you from sinning. Psalm 34:7 (NIV) The angel of the LORD encamps around those who fear him, and he delivers them. God sends His angels to protect those who fear God. Proverbs 14:26 (NIV) He who fears the LORD has a secure fortress, and for his children it will be a refuge. Those who fear God will be secure and so will their children. We’re going to look at an incident in the life of Jesus to teach us more about the fear of God.

Christmas is a wonderful time of the year. It’s a time to take a break from work, at least for a few days and spend time with our families. Christmas is a time to think of giving to others. Christmas is a time to be thankful for the good things that God has brought into our lives in the past year. Yet, for some people, Christmas is a difficult time. Perhaps, someone dear to you is no longer around. Maybe this past year had more sorrows and hardships than joys. For many, finances are tight and the cost of gift-giving raises the stress level. Worry of what may happen in 2010 can also put a damper on the holidays. If Christmas is just a holiday, than it will come and go with little change in our lives. The worries and fears that we carried into Christmas, we will carry right into the New Year of 2010. However, Christmas is more than just a happy holiday. Christmas is all about the birth of Jesus. Jesus, God Himself, came to this earth as a baby, ultimately to die for us. Why did He do it? Jesus came to this earth on that first Christmas night because He loved you. Jesus came to save you from your sins, worries and fears. Jesus came to have an eternal relationship with you that would last forever. Jesus came to bring hope into our lives. On that first Christmas, hope was born into our world. Matthew 12:21 (NLT) And his name [Jesus] will be the hope of all the world.” What is hope? Hope is a confidence that something good is going to happen in the future. Hope is the opposite of worry. Worry is the concern that something bad is going to happen in the future. Jesus gives confidence that good will happen to those who put their trust in Him. This Christmas, 2010, God wants to give each person here hope, hope for the New Year. Here’s God’s purpose for you and your family. Romans 15:13 (NIV) May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit. God is a God of hope. What goes along with hope? We see in this verse that joy and peace will fill your life when you have hope. We’re going to look at how each person here can overflow with hope. You see, when you overflow with hope, you have so much hope that you can lead others into that same hope from Jesus Christ.
