RCC 12/19/2010 Dave Champness Gal 4:4-7
Galatians 4
4 But when the fullness of time had come, God sent forth his Son, born of woman, born under the law
5 to redeem those who were under the law, so that we might receive adoption as sons.
6 And because you are sons, God has sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, crying, "Abba! Father!"
7 So you are no longer a slave, but a son, and if a son, then an heir through God.
- The timing was perfect, preparation was laid over history
- Jupiter: king planet, star Regulus, king star, king of kings shining together
- Romans: peace, roads, language,
- Prophecy of Daniel, 70 7's
- Over 300 prophecies fulfilled in Jesus
- Redemption, Justification

The Pursuit of the Wayward (James 5:19,20), RCC, Dave Champness
Review o the book of James: a test of your walk
- view of works and faith
- view of Scripture
- view of money
- view of people, classes
James 5:19 My brothers, if anyone among you wanders from the truth and someone brings him back, 20 let him know that whoever brings back a sinner from his wandering will save his soul from death and will cover a multitude of sins.
1. The object of the pursuit
- The wanderer, left the faith,
- Is this person a Christian?
You cannot lose your faith, but you can lose your assurance
Professors but not possessors, "I never knew you"
Parable of the seeds and the ground (Matt 13:19-23)
2. The nature of the pursuer
- every believer, me
3. The importance of the pursuit
- Eternal life and death
- Help them come to a place of repentance
4. The way of the pursuing
a) pray
b) humility, gentleness
c) persistence
d) confrontation (not to win, to redeem
e) love
5. A word to the wayward
Three thoughts that are untrue:
a) God has let me done
b) I've gone too far
c) God could never except me now (prodigal son)

RCC 5/2/10 How to make good plans (James 4:13-17)
James 4
13 Come now, you who say, Today or tomorrow we will go into such and such a town and spend a year there and trade and make a profit 14 yet you do not know what tomorrow will bring. What is your life? For you are a mist that appears for a little time and then vanishes. 15 Instead you ought to say, If the Lord wills, we will live and do this or that. 16 As it is, you boast in your arrogance. All such boasting is evil. 17 So whoever knows the right thing to do and fails to do it, for him it is sin.
Boasting About Tomorrow
The foolishness of forgetting God. He is the "key"
-Our common problem: Everyday life. The curse of the familiar.
-Our flawed assumptions: That we are in control, we assume his place. We don't know tomorrow. Don't boast. Worry is a flawed attempt to control.
-Our greatest good: Gods will. "If the Lord wills". We are not in control. Seek Him. Don't force anything! Jer 29:11. We can't take the credit when things go right. Proverbs 16:1-3,9
-Act on what you know: Sins of omission. Act. No fear, He is responsible for the results.
God please open the doors for my family's future

Brokeness
Don't hide your broken pieces. It is like duct tapping cardboard over your broken car window. Share your broken pieces and let God turn them into a beautiful mosaic. Your test is your testimony. Feeding the multitudes: take it, break it, & give it away.
