    Becoming A Home

    Jon Fredricks

    Today's Scripture: Acts 2:42-47 NIV

    __________

    Acts 2:42-27 NIV

    The Fellowship of Believers

    42 They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer. 43 Everyone was filled with awe at the many wonders and signs performed by the apostles. 44 All the believers were together and had everything in common. 45 They sold property and possessions to give to anyone who had need. 46 Every day they continued to meet together in the temple courts. They broke bread in their homes and ate together with glad and sincere hearts, 47 praising God and enjoying the favor of all the people. And the Lord added to their number daily those who were being saved.

    Ephesians 5:16 KJV

    16 Redeeming the time, because the days are evil.

    1) TURN AROUND

    Acts 3:19 NIV

    Repent, then, and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped out, that times of refreshing may come from the Lord,

    Acts 2:38 NIV

    Peter replied, “Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.

    Psalm 39:4-5 NIV

    4 “Show me, Lord, my life’s end
    and the number of my days;
    let me know how fleeting my life is.
    5 You have made my days a mere handbreadth;
    the span of my years is as nothing before you.
    Everyone is but a breath,
    even those who seem secure.

    Proverbs 3:5-6 NIV

    5 Trust in the Lord with all your heart
    and lean not on your own understanding;
    6 in all your ways submit to him,
    and he will make your paths straight.

    2) ASK GOD

    James 4:14-15 NIV

    Why, you do not even know what will happen tomorrow. What is your life? You are a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes. 15 Instead, you ought to say, “If it is the Lord’s will, we will live and do this or that.”

    James 1:5 NIV

    If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you.

    3) BUILD BETTER COMMUNICATION

    Proverbs 18:20-21 NIV

    20 From the fruit of their mouth a person’s stomach is filled; with the harvest of their lips they are satisfied. 21 The tongue has the power of life and death, and those who love it will eat its fruit.

    4) LEVERAGE EVERY DAY

    Colossians 4:5 NIV

    … make the most of every opportunity.

    God's Heart for Family - May 11, 2025

    HouseGod's Heart for FamilyJon FredricksToday's Scripture: Genesis 2:18-25 NIV__________Psalms 68:6 NIVGod sets the lonely in families, he leads out the prisoners with singing; but the rebellious live in a sun-scorched land. Genesis 1:26-27 NIVThen God said, “Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness, so that they may rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky, over the livestock and all the wild animals, and over all the creatures that move along the ground.” So God created mankind in his own image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them. Genesis 2:18-25 NIVThe LORD God said, “It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper suitable for him.” Now the LORD God had formed out of the ground all the wild animals and all the birds in the sky. He brought them to the man to see what he would name them; and whatever the man called each living creature, that was its name. So the man gave names to all the livestock, the birds in the sky and all the wild animals. But for Adam no suitable helper was found. So the LORD God caused the man to fall into a deep sleep; and while he was sleeping, he took one of the man’s ribs and then closed up the place with flesh. Then the LORD God made a woman from the rib he had taken out of the man, and he brought her to the man. The man said, “This is now bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh; she shall be called ‘woman,’ for she was taken out of man.” That is why a man leaves his father and mother and is united to his wife, and they become one flesh. Adam and his wife were both naked, and they felt no shame. 1 John 4:7 NIVDear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God. Genesis 2:25 NIVAdam and his wife were both naked, and they felt no shame. Genesis 4:8 NIVNow Cain said to his brother Abel, “Let’s go out to the field.” While they were in the field, Cain attacked his brother Abel and killed him. 1 John 4:7 NIVDear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God. STARTING OVER 1) LIST WHAT NEEDS TO CHANGEProverbs 28:13 NIVWhoever conceals their sins does not prosper, but the one who confesses and renounces them finds mercy. 2) RE-COMMIT TO THE CHANGEProverbs 16:3 NIVCommit to the LORD whatever you do, and he will establish your plans. Psalms 37:5 NIVCommit your way to the LORD; trust in him and he will do this 3) GET A TEAM TO HELPEcclesiastes 4:9-10 NIVTwo are better than one, because they have a good return for their labor: If either of them falls down, one can help the other up. But pity anyone who falls and has no one to help them up. 4) PRAYJohn 15:5 NIV“I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing. James 4:2 NIVYou desire but do not have, so you kill. You covet but you cannot get what you want, so you quarrel and fight. You do not have because you do not ask God. Luke 18:1 NIVThen Jesus told his disciples a parable to show them that they should always pray and not give up.

    FlourishThe WordJon FredricksToday's Scripture: Luke 24:36-53 NIV__________ Luke 24:36-53 NIV36 While they were still talking about this, Jesus himself stood among them and said to them, “Peace be with you.”37 They were startled and frightened, thinking they saw a ghost. 38 He said to them, “Why are you troubled, and why do doubts rise in your minds? 39 Look at my hands and my feet. It is I myself! Touch me and see; a ghost does not have flesh and bones, as you see I have.”40 When he had said this, he showed them his hands and feet. 41 And while they still did not believe it because of joy and amazement, he asked them, “Do you have anything here to eat?” 42 They gave him a piece of broiled fish, 43 and he took it and ate it in their presence.44 He said to them, “This is what I told you while I was still with you: Everything must be fulfilled that is written about me in the Law of Moses, the Prophets and the Psalms.”45 Then he opened their minds so they could understand the Scriptures. 46 He told them, “This is what is written: The Messiah will suffer and rise from the dead on the third day, 47 and repentance for the forgiveness of sins will be preached in his name to all nations, beginning at Jerusalem. 48 You are witnesses of these things. 49 I am going to send you what my Father has promised; but stay in the city until you have been clothed with power from on high.”The Ascension of Jesus50 When he had led them out to the vicinity of Bethany, he lifted up his hands and blessed them. 51 While he was blessing them, he left them and was taken up into heaven. 52 Then they worshiped him and returned to Jerusalem with great joy. 53 And they stayed continually at the temple, praising God. Luke 24:41 CEB41 Because they were wondering and questioning in the midst of their happiness, he said to them, “Do you have anything to eat?” Psalm 119:9 NIVHow can a young person stay on the path of purity? By living according to your word. 1 Peter 1:23 NIVFor you have been born again, not of perishable seed, but of imperishable, through the living and enduring word of God. Hebrews 4:12 NIVFor the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart. 1) JESUS HAS PROVIDED HIS WORD TO GROW USJohn 1:14 NIVThe Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the one and only Son, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth. Proverbs 8:17 NIVI love those who love me, and those who seek me find me. Hebrews 8:11 NIVNo longer will they teach their neighbor, or say to one another, ‘Know the Lord,’ because they will all know me, from the least of them to the greatest. 2) JESUS HAS PROMISED TRANSFORMATIONJohn 15:5-7 NIV5 “I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing…. 7 If you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you. 2 Timothy 3:16-17 NIV16 All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, 17 so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work. Joshua 1:8 NIV8 Keep this Book of the Law always on your lips; meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. Then you will be prosperous and successful. 3) JESUS HAS ALREADY PAVED THE WAY FOR ENCOUNTERMark 4:19 NIVbut the worries of this life, the deceitfulness of wealth and the desires for other things come in and choke the word, making it unfruitful. John 16:13a NIVBut when he, the Spirit of truth, comes, he will guide you into all the truth. Matthew 7:7 NIV“Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. Matthew 7:8 NIV
