What kind of Jesus do you want?

 What Kind of Jesus Do You Want?????


Do you want a Prozac Jesus? One that will make you feel better??


Maybe we …

  1. Want CONTROL more than we want redemption

  2. Crave SUCCESS more than we crave redemption. 

  3. Desire ACCEPTANCE more than we desire redemption. 

  4. Desire COMFORT AND PLEASURE more than we desire redemption. 

  5. Want MATERIAL THINGS more than we want redemption. 


He is much much more than Prozac Jesus he is your Sovereign Savior King.


Luke 12:13-21


Do you want a Vacation Planner Jesus? Who will take you to a place where life is more pleasurable.


He is not our vacation planner Jesus. He is our Sovereign Savior King


Acts 20:17-24


Do you want a Suggestion Box Jesus? Whose law is more advice than a command. 


He is your Sovereign Savior King, not your Suggestion Box Jesus.


2 Kings 22:3-23:25


Do you want a District Attorney Jesus? Who will get all those people who’ve made your life hard.


Romans 12:14-21

14 Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse them.15 Rejoice with those who rejoice, weep with those who weep. 16 Live in harmony with one another. Do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly.[a] Never be wise in your own sight. 17 Repay no one evil for evil, but give thought to do what is honorable in the sight of all. 18 If possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all. 19 Beloved, never avenge yourselves, but leave it[b] to the wrath of God, for it is written, “Vengeance is mine, I will repay, says the Lord.” 20 To the contrary, “if your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him something to drink; for by so doing you will heap burning coals on his head.” 21 Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.


He is not our vacation planner Jesus. He is our Sovereign Savior King


Matthew 5:38-48


Do you want a Match.com Jesus?....who will give you something to love. 


He is not our Match.com Jesus. He is our Sovereign Savior King



Mark 12:28-34



HE WILL ONLY EVER BE YOUR SOVEREIGN SAVIOR KING!!!


God’s care is sure, but will you run to him in your time of need or look elsewhere for hope and comfort?


1 Peter 5:7 casting all your anxieties on him, because he cares for you.

Hebrews 13:5  ….for he has said, “I will never leave you nor forsake you.”

Matthew 11:28-30 ….28 Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.”

Psalm 27:1….The Lord is my light and my salvation;

    whom shall I fear?

The Lord is the stronghold of my life;

    of whom shall I be afraid?

 

Isaiah 40:29-31

29 He gives power to the faint,

    and to him who has no might he increases strength.

30 Even youths shall faint and be weary,

    and young men shall fall exhausted;

31 but they who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength;

    they shall mount up with wings like eagles;

they shall run and not be weary;

    they shall walk and not faint.

Philippians 4:19  And my God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus.

Psalm 55:22  Cast your burden on the Lord, and he will sustain you; he will never permit the righteous to be moved.

Welcome to the

    School room "makeover" edition of the  Not-Back-to-School-Blog Hop!!!! This by far will be my most exciting post yet!!!  As I mentioned in my curriculum post, this is my second time to homeschool .  The last time I homeschooled , my children were in 2nd and 4th grade, and we homeschooled for two years.  We actually did our schooling in a small dining room where the table took up most of the room.  My daughter sat at one end of the table and my son at the other.  I sat in the middle.  I had a wicker basket thingy with 3 drawers with all our stuff.  Now, they are in 9th and 7th grade-which means they are much bigger - lol !!!  Not to mention the fact that I am schooling two of their friends.  That means two 9th graders and two 7th graders. Well, the room I did homeschool in no longer exist due to a little remodeling, and we just so happen to have an extra room that was supposed to me my husbands room f...

Not Back to School Blog Hop: Curriculum

This is our first year back homeschooling. They are in the 9th and 7th grade. The last time we homeschooled, they were in the 2nd and 4th and we homeschooled for two years. For the past three years we have been at a wonderful Christian school in our area. I taught 4th grade and my daughter had a wonderful experience in middle school, 6th through 8th grade. Our school only went to 8th grade. My son had a rougher time. The teachers were wonderful and he had great friends, played basketball and flag football, but academically he struggled due to his autism. The lockers, changing classes, over stimulation, etc. But the Lord has continued to be faithful throughout our school career whether we were in private school, public school, or homeschooling, so I have no doubt that the upcoming year will be no different.  I am so excited to be sharing this adventure with several close friends at my church and equally excited that I will be homeschooling a friend for each of my kids.  We ...

"Not" Back to School Blog Hop!!!!

2011-2012 Curriculum Choices for Reed Academy Wow!! Year two (technically four, but there have been a few years of regular school in there too!) of homeschooling.  This year my daughter will be a sophomore...have mercy!  She has had a very productive summer working as a lifeguard, babysitting, and getting her driving permit....double have mercy!!!  My son is going into 8th grade so this is his last year before the big stuff!!!  He has had a very productive summer as well...not!!!  Unless you consider the x-box as productive!!!  Can not wait to get him back into a routine and hopefully regenerate some of his brain cells!!! This school year starts so differently than our last.  We actually have a family living with us.  They are expecting a baby any minute....literally!!!!  Our school room is now also a bedroom for Alec and our office that held a lot of school stuff is now a nursery!!!  But God is faithful and we continue to find pla...
