Romans 1:18-21 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness, because what may be known of God is manifest in them, for God has shown it to them. For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse,because, although they knew God, they did not glorify Him as God, nor were thankful, but became futile in their thoughts, and their foolish hearts were darkened.Everyone knows God.Romans 1:21,25 because, although they knew God, they did not glorify Him as God, nor were thankful, but became futile in their thoughts, and their foolish hearts were darkened…who exchanged the truth of God for the lie and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen. Everyone has rejected God.Romans 3:9-11What then? Are we better than they? Not at all. For we have previously charged both Jews and Greeks that they are all under sin. As it is written:“There is none righteous, no, not one;There is none who understands. There is none who seeks after God.Everyone is guilty.Romans 3:19-20 Now we know that whatever the law says, it says to those who are under the law, that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become guilty before God. Therefore by the deeds of the law no flesh will be justified in His sight, for by the law is the knowledge of sin.Everyone is condemned.Romans 3:21-26 But now the righteousness of God apart from the law is revealed, being witnessed by the Law and the Prophets, even the righteousness of God, through faith in Jesus Christ, to all and on all who believe. For there is no difference; for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, being justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus, whom God set forth as a propitiation by His blood, through faith, to demonstrate His righteousness, because in His forbearance God had passed over the sins that were previously committed, to demonstrate at the present time His righteousness, that He might be just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus. Everyone can be saved.Romans 3:27Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? Of works? No, but by the law of faith.Romans 5:1-2 Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom also we have access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.Everyone can be saved by faith in Jesus alone.Romans 10:13-15 For “whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.” How then shall they call on Him in whom they have not believed? And how shall they believe in Him of whom they have not heard? And how shall they hear without a preacher? And how shall they preach unless they are sent? Everyone who puts their faith in Jesus is commanded to make him known.

A Mother’s Day Tribute - Proverbs 31Proverbs 31:10, “Who can find a virtuous wife? For her worth is far above rubies.”Proverbs 31:28, “Her children rise up and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praises her.”She is devoted to her husband. Proverbs 31:11-12, “The heart of her husband safely trusts her; so he will have no lack of gain. She does him good and not evil all the days of her life.”A godly wife brings her husband honor. Proverbs 12:4, “An excellent wife is the crown of her husband, but she who causes shame is like rottenness in his bones.”A godly wife brings her husband success. Proverbs 31:23, “Her husband is known in the gates, when he sits among the elders of the land.”She is dedicated to her family. Proverbs 31:13, “She seeks wool and flax, and willingly works with her hands. She is like the merchant ships, she brings her food from afar. She also rises while it is yet night, and provides food for her household, and a portion for her maidservants.”A godly wife works hard for her family! Proverbs 31:27, “She watches over the ways of her household, and does not eat the bread of idleness.”She delights in her provision. Proverbs 31:16-19, “She considers a field and buys it; from her profits she plants a vineyard. She girds herself with strength, and strengthens her arms. She perceives that her merchandise is good, and her lamp does not go out by night. She stretches out her hands to the distaff, and her hand holds the spindle.”The Proverbs 31 wife is an enterprising woman. She is contributing financially for her family. Proverbs 31:24 “She makes linen garments and sells them, and supplies sashes for the merchants.”She dresses with care. Proverbs 31:22 “She makes tapestry for herself; her clothing is fine linen and purple.”The Proverbs 31 woman does not dress for vanity but for virtue. 1 Timothy 2:9. “In like manner also, that the women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with propriety and moderation, not with braided hair or gold or pearls or costly clothing.”1 Peter 3:3-4 “Do not let your adornment be merely outward—arranging the hair, wearing gold, or putting on fine apparel—rather let it be the hidden person of the heart, with the incorruptible beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is very precious in the sight of God.”She depends on God. Proverbs 31:30, “Charm is deceitful and beauty is passing, but a woman who fears the Lord, she shall be praised.”1 Peter 3:7, “Husbands, likewise, dwell with them with understanding, giving honor to the wife, as to the weaker vessel, and as being heirs together of the grace of life, that your prayers may not be hindered.”Men, make every day Mother’s Day!

Next Level, Part 4 - Luke 12:31-34Your future is defined one decision at a time. DecisionsDirectionDestinationLuke 12:31, But seek the kingdom of God, and all these things shall be added to you.”Three purposes for money…It is meant to be Enjoyed It is meant to be Employed It is meant to be DeployedEnjoy your money!God wants us to enjoy the reward of our work. Ecclesiastes 2:24, “Nothing is better for a man than that he should eat and drink, and that his soul should enjoy good in his labor. This also, I saw, was from the hand of God.” Employ your money!Don’t just work for money. Make moneywork for you! Practice the law of the harvest – you reap what you sow!Deploy your money!Our dollars are like soldiers. Deploy your dollars to advance the Kingdom! Luke 12:32-34 “Do not fear, little flock, for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom. Sell what you have and give alms; provide yourselves money bags which do not grow old, a treasure in the heavens that does not fail, where no thief approaches nor moth destroys. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.”Our dollars equal destinies and become treasure eternally when deployed into kingdom priorities. The eternal treasure are the souls of men and women that will last forever.  Connect with us on Social Media ↴Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/abundantlifels/Instagram:  https://www.instagram.com/abundantlifels Connect with Pastor Phil ↴Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/PhilHopperKCInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/philhopper_kc/Web: https://livingproof.co/resources/books/Learn more about the A-Life Discipleship Journey: https://alife.livingproof.co/ More information on our sermons: https://livingproof.co/sermons/Do you want to see your life changed by Jesus?

Next Level, Part 3 - Luke 12:16-21Luke 12:16-21, Then He spoke a parable to them, saying: “The ground of a certain rich man yielded plentifully. And he thought within himself, saying, ‘What shall I do, since I have no room to store my crops?’ So he said, ‘I will do this: I will pull down my barns and build greater, and there I will store all my crops and my goods. And I will say to my soul, “Soul, you have many goods laid up for many years; take your ease; eat, drink, and be merry.”’ But God said to him, ‘Fool! This night your soul will be required of you; then whose will those things be which you have provided?’ “So is he who lays up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God.”Jesus taught that fools live for prosperity that lasts temporarily, but the wise live for eternity which is why they give generously. Proverbs 22:7, The borrower is servant to the lender. The wise create margin financially, so they can live freely and give generously to kingdom priorities that last eternally. Margin is not created by making more money; it is created by spending less money.Take back control of your money by giving up control to God. Remember, God is the Master, and you are the manager.Three levels of Generosity…Tipper. The “tipper” generally only gives God what they think they can “afford.”Our God deserves more than a “tip.” God deserves our worship! 2 Samuel 24:24, “No, but I will buy it from you for a price; nor will I offer burnt offerings to the Lord my God with that which costs me nothing.”Tither. The tithe is a biblical guide and means a “tenth” of our income.God desires more than our tithe. God desires our trust! Malachi 3:8-11, “Will a man rob God? Yet you have robbed Me! But you say, ‘In what way have we robbed You?’ In tithes and offerings. You are cursed with a curse, for you have robbed Me, even this whole nation. Bring all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be food in My house, and try Me now in this,” says the Lord of hosts, “If I will not open for you the windows of heaven and pour out for you such blessing that there will not be room enough to receive it. And I will rebuke the devourer for your sakes, so that he will not destroy the fruit of your ground, nor shall the vine fail to bear fruit for you in the field.”Giver. The giver understands God owns more than a tenth – He is the owner of 100%.The giver does more than give God the tithe. They give God their treasure. Luke 12:34, “For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.”Luke 12:20-21, But God said to him, “Fool! This night your soul will be required of you; then whose will those things be which you have provided? So is he who lays up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God.”Generosity is how you become “rich with God”—it’s by giving away what God gives you.

Next level, Part 2 - Luke 12:42-44Luke 12:15, And He said to them, “Take heed and beware of covetousness, for one’s life does not consist in the abundance of the things he possesses.”Luke 12:42, And the Lord said, “Who then is that faithful and wise steward, whom his master will make ruler over his household, to give them their portion of food in due season?”Until Jesus is your EVERYTHING, you will worry about everything. Our anxiety and worry reveal our idolatry. The idolatry of money is the source of much anxiety and worry.Luke 12:42-44, And the Lord said, “Who then is that faithful and wise steward, whom his master will make ruler over his household, to give them their portion of food in due season? Blessed is that servant whom his master will find so doing when he comes. Truly, I say to you that he will make him ruler over all that he has.”God’s expectation for us is to be wise and faithful stewards with the resources He entrusts us with. 1 Corinthians 4:2, “Moreover it is required in stewards that one be found faithful.”To go to the Next Level of GENEROSITY demands you plan for three things!SpendingSavingSharingThe 10/10/80 plan gives you the margin needed to live freely so you can give generously. Your first 10% goes to God, your second 10% goes to savings, and you live on the 80% that is left. The percentages can change. You can modify it as needed, but the basic plan stays the same.You need a plan to give generously—your first 10% goes to God. The tithe is not a New Testament command. For the Christian, the tithe is a guide. If you cannot do a full tenth, start somewhere. Be intentional and prayerful; be consistent and persistent. Then go to the NEXT LEVEL!When we give back to God, there is a promise of blessing for our obedience. Proverbs 3:9-10, “Honor the Lord with your possessions, and with the firstfruits of all your increase; so your barns will be filled with plenty, and your vats will overflow with new wine.”You need a plan to save—the second 10% goes to you. If you follow a plan, you’ll be amazed at how much you can save!Compound interest has the power to multiply your debt or multiply your savings. The power of compound interest has the power to be your greatest financial asset or your worst financial nightmare!You need a plan to spend—live on the 80% that is left. You cannot get ahead and go to the “next level” by living at your means or above your means.Adjust your standard of living to live “below your means”—80% of your income.Whether or not you are wealthy materially, you can live free financially.

Next Level, Part 1 - Mark 10:17-27The goal for the Next Level series is to…Learn to spend wisely, live freely, and give generously by thinking biblically. To accomplish this does not require making more money, but it does require thinking differently. Acts 20:35, “And remember the words of the Lord Jesus, that He said, ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.’”The key to living generously is not making more money, it is thinking biblically about money. If you don’t learn to think biblically, you will never be able to “afford” living generously regardless of your means financially.Mark 10:17-22, Now as He was going out on the road, one came running, knelt before Him, and asked Him, “Good Teacher, what shall I do that I may inherit eternal life?” So Jesus said to him, “Why do you call Me good? No one is good but One, that is, God. You know the commandments: ‘Do not commit adultery,’ ‘Do not murder,’ ‘Do not steal,’ ‘Do not bear false witness,’ ‘Do not defraud,’ ‘Honor your father and your mother.’” And he answered and said to Him, “Teacher, all these things I have kept from my youth.” Then Jesus, looking at him, loved him, and said to him, “One thing you lack: Go your way, sell whatever you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, take up the cross, and follow Me.” But he was sad at this word, and went away sorrowful, for he had great possessions.When money is a source of idolatry, it will become a source of our captivity. Anyone who thinks they own their money and possessions is actually owned by them.Ownership  Stewardship  LordshipWhen Jesus is Lord of your finances, you will spend wisely. Proverbs 9:10, “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom…”When Jesus is Lord of your finances, you will live freely. You will live more freely because you will have less worry! (See Matthew 6:25-34)When Jesus is Lord of your finances, you will give generously. The treasure of heaven is greater than the treasure of this world! Mark 10:21, “Go your way, sell whatever you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven…”Sunday, May 2, is a day of decision, destination, and celebration. Our one day giving goal toward the Impossible Campaign is $2 million. This will help us finish renovating the Independence campus, build the infrastructure for the on-line campus, and begin renovation for our Crossroads campus.Mark 10:23-27, Then Jesus looked around and said to His disciples, “How hard it is for those who have riches to enter the kingdom of God!” And the disciples were astonished at His words. But Jesus answered again and said to them, “Children, how hard it is for those who trust in riches to enter the kingdom of God! It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God.” And they were greatly astonished, saying among themselves, “Who then can be saved?” But Jesus looked at them and said, “With men it is impossible, but not with God; for with God all things are possible.”When God’s people move in unity for kingdom priorities, impossibilities become realities.

Revelation 1:8, “I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End,” says the Lord, “who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty.”Revelation 1:18, “I am He who lives, and was dead, and behold, I am alive forevermore. Amen. And I have the keys of Hades and of Death.”Death and Hades are two places from which there is no escape. It is death that claims the body and Hades that claims the soul!Romans 6:23, “The wages of sin is death…” The penalty of sin is death physically (grave) and death spiritually (Hades).There is no escape by being a “good” person. Matthew 19:17, “No one is good but One, that is, God.”1 John 1:8, “If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.”There is no escape by getting “religion.” Ephesians 2:8-9, “For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast.”Jesus is God. Jesus made the escape because He is the Almighty! Revelation 1:8, “I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End,” says the Lord, “who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty.”Jesus died for our sin and rose again. Jesus made the escape to redeem us from sin’s penalty. Revelation 1:18, “I am He who lives, and was dead, and behold, I am alive forevermore. Amen. And I have the keys of Hades and of Death.”Jesus has the keys to set us free! In Christ, we escape Death, and we escape Hades!Jesus has the keys, and Jesus is the key to set us free from sin’s penalty so we can live eternally. John 11:25, “I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in Me, though he may die, he shall live.”  Connect with us on Social Media ↴Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/abundantlifels/Instagram:  https://www.instagram.com/abundantlifels Connect with Pastor Phil ↴Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/PhilHopperKCInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/philhopper_kc/Web: https://livingproof.co/resources/books/Learn more about the A-Life Discipleship Journey: https://alife.livingproof.co/ More information on our sermons: https://livingproof.co/sermons/Do you want to see your life changed by Jesus?

Jesus lived a daring life, but He was most daring in His death. In the last week of His earthly life, Jesus entered Jerusalem knowing ahead of time it would end with Him being tortured to death on a Roman cross.Four daring events of “Passion” week in the life of Christ…1. The Presentation of the King.Mark 11:1-7, Now when they drew near Jerusalem, to Bethphage and Bethany, at the Mount of Olives, He sent two of His disciples; and He said to them, “Go into the village opposite you; and as soon as you have entered it you will find a colt tied, on which no one has sat. Loose it and bring it. And if anyone says to you, ‘Why are you doing this?’ say, ‘The Lord has need of it,’ and immediately he will send it here.” So they went their way, and found the colt tied by the door outside on the street, and they loosed it. But some of those who stood there said to them, “What are you doing, loosing the colt?” And they spoke to them just as Jesus had commanded. So they let them go. Then they brought the colt to Jesus and threw their clothes on it, and He sat on it.By entering Jerusalem from the Mount of Olives through the Eastern Gate, while riding on the back of a colt, Jesus was presenting Himself to the Jews as their promised Messiah. This was done in direct fulfillment of biblical prophecies concerning the Promised One.Zechariah 9:9, Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion! Shout, O daughter of Jerusalem! Behold, your King is coming to you; He is just and having salvation, lowly and riding on a donkey, a colt, the foal of a donkey.Ezekiel 43:1-2, Afterward he brought me to the gate, the gate that faces toward the east. And behold, the glory of the God of Israel came from the way of the east. His voice was like the sound of many waters; and the earth shone with His glory.2. The Coronation of the King. Mark 11:8-10, And many spread their clothes on the road, and others cut down leafy branches from the trees and spread them on the road. Then those who went before and those who followed cried out, saying: “Hosanna! ‘Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!’ Blessed is the kingdom of our father David that comes in the name of the Lord! Hosanna in the highest!”By lining the streets with palm branches and clothing and declaring Jesus as the One to usher in David’s Kingdom, the people were receiving Jesus as the Promised King!3. The Crucifixion of the King.Mark 15:12-15, Pilate answered and said to them again, “What then do you want me to do with Him whom you call the King of the Jews?” So they cried out again, “Crucify Him!” Then Pilate said to them, “Why, what evil has He done?” But they cried out all the more, “Crucify Him!” So Pilate, wanting to gratify the crowd, released Barabbas to them; and he delivered Jesus, after he had scourged Him, to be crucified.Jesus had not come to conquer Rome; He had come to conquer sin and death. But one day He will return, and the kingdoms of this world will become one and the same with the Kingdom of Heaven!Ezekiel 44:1-2, Then He brought me back to the outer gate of the sanctuary which faces toward the east, but it was shut. And the Lord said to me, “This gate shall be shut; it shall not be opened, and no man shall enter by it, because the Lord God of Israel has entered by it; therefore, it shall be shut.”4. The Resurrection of the King.Mark 16:5-6, And entering the tomb, they saw a young man clothed in a long white robe sitting on the right side; and they were alarmed. But he said to them, “Do not be alarmed. You seek Jesus of Nazareth, who was crucified. He is risen! He is not here. See the place where they laid Him.Jesus dared to die so that He could arise! It demands we take the same dare!Dare to live a daring life for the Lord Jesus Christ!Dare to invite someone to church on Easter weekend!Dare to find your ONE! Personally share the gospel with someone!Dare to believe that Christ died for your sin and rose again!

Which scoreboard are you using for your life?Jesus taught the world’s scoreboard for success is different from God’s. Success is defined differently in the Kingdom of God than in the kingdoms of this world. Mark 1:15, “The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand. Repent, and believe in the gospel.”As a member of God’s Kingdom, the world cannot “score” you because God keeps a different score! Some of us need to change teams and start keeping a different score!How the world scores vs. how God scores…The world’s scoreboard values the temporal; God values the eternal. (See Mark 1:15) The kingdoms of this world will all decay and fade away. But the kingdom of the Lord Jesus Christ will last forever!Mark 9:33-35, Then He came to Capernaum. And when He was in the house He asked them, “What was it you disputed among yourselves on the road?” 34 But they kept silent, for on the road they had disputed among themselves who would be the greatest. 35 And He sat down, called the twelve, and said to them, “If anyone desires to be first, he shall be last of all and servant of all.”The world’s scoreboard values being “first” — serving “self.” God values being last — serving others. (See Mark 9:33-35) The world’s value system is full of self-promotion, position, and competition. Mark 9:38-40, Now John answered Him, saying, “Teacher, we saw someone who does not follow us casting out demons in Your name, and we forbade him because he does not follow us.” 39 But Jesus said, “Do not forbid him, for no one who works a miracle in My name can soon afterward speak evil of Me. 40 For he who is not against us is on our side.The world’s scoreboard values competition; God values communion. (See Mark 9:38-40) On “essentials” we have unity. On the “non-essentials” we give each other liberty.Mark 10:13-14, Then they brought little children to Him, that He might touch them; but the disciples rebuked those who brought them. 14 But when Jesus saw it, He was greatly displeased and said to them, “Let the little children come to Me, and do not forbid them; for of such is the kingdom of God.The world’s scoreboard values hierarchy; God values humility. (See Mark 10:13-14) The world says some are more “important” than others. To God everyone is a VIP—a very important person.Mark 10:21-22, Then Jesus, looking at him, loved him, and said to him, “One thing you lack: Go your way, sell whatever you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, take up the cross, and follow Me.” 22 But he was sad at this word, and went away sorrowful, for he had great possessions.The world’s scoreboard values prosperity; God values generosity. (See Mark 10:21-22) Money is neither moral, nor immoral. It is not how much you have that matters to God, but rather what you do with what you have.Mark 10:42-45, But Jesus called them to Himself and said to them, “You know that those who are considered rulers over the Gentiles lord it over them, and their great ones exercise authority over them. 43 Yet it shall not be so among you; but whoever desires to become great among you shall be your servant. 44 And whoever of you desires to be first shall be slave of all. 45 For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many.”The world’s scoreboard says to live positionally; God says to live sacrificially. (See Mark 10:42-45) The world’s scoreboard says some are expendable; God says every person is essential. (See Mark 10:46-52)Today some of us need to change teams! Mark 1:15, “The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand. Repent, and believe in the gospel.” Get on the winning side! Become a member of God’s Kingdom by receiving God’s Son! Every Kingdom has a King. And the King of God’s Kingdom is God’s Son. But if He is not your King you are on the wrong side.

One KC, Part 5 – Mark 8:27-35Mark 8:27-28, Now Jesus and His disciples went out to the towns of Caesarea Philippi; and on the road He asked His disciples, saying to them, “Who do men say that I am?” So they answered, “John the Baptist; but some say, Elijah; and others, one of the prophets.”1. Who do people say Jesus is? Mark 8:29a, He said to them, “But who do you say that I am? 2. Who do you say Jesus is? Mark 8:29b, Peter answered and said to Him, “You are the Christ.”Christ – anointed one or chosen one. Mark 8:34-35, When He had called the people to Himself, with His disciples also, He said to them, “Whoever desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me. For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake and the gospel’s will save it.”3. How do you follow Jesus?
