1 Corinthians 15:1-11 (NASB)
1 Now I make known to you, brethren, the gospel which I preached to you, which also you received, in which also you stand, 2 by which also you are saved, if you hold fast the word which I preached to you, unless you believed in vain. 3 For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received, that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, 4 and that He was buried, and that He was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures, 5 and that He appeared to Cephas, then to the twelve. 6 After that He appeared to more than five hundred brethren at one time, most of whom remain until now, but some have fallen asleep; 7 then He appeared to James, then to all the apostles; 8 and last of all, as to one untimely born, He appeared to me also. 9 For I am the least of the apostles, and not fit to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God. 10 But by the grace of God I am what I am, and His grace toward me did not prove vain; but I labored even more than all of them, yet not I, but the grace of God with me. 11 Whether then it was I or they, so we preach and so you believed.

THE BEST IS YET TO COME!
The worldwide crisis continues to impact us. However, we are planning on having a Sunday Worship Service at 10:45 am this Sunday, JULY 25. The Facebook service can be viewed at any time, just use the link below to find our page or go to www.stuartalliance.weebly.com (our web page to see previous messages). We will continue to broadcast on Facebook until it is completely safe. If you desire to attend our service, we have masks which will be available for all. We also have hand sanitizer. We will continue to keep our distance from each other. We will not have refreshments available this week.
The Word of God reminds us that we are to be change agents here on earth while we are waiting for Heaven! One of the ways to be a change agent is to live a life of Love and Joy each day.
The message NEXT Sunday is: DWELLING ON UPLIFTING THOUGHTS! All things around us may change but Jesus Never!
We have a sharing program. If you have a need or shortage of supplies, please call me or the church office 772-283-4484 or my cell 772-349-4941. Likewise, if you have extra supplies and are willing to share let us know as well. Let’s work and pray together for the Glory of God!

IN 2021, THE BEST IS YET TO COME!

WE WILL GROW IN FAITH, HOPE & LOVE!
1 Corinthians 2:9-10 (NIV) However, as it is written: "No eye has seen, no ear has heard, no mind has conceived what God has prepared for those who love him"-- but God has revealed it to us by his Spirit. The Spirit searches all things, even the deep things of God.
1 Corinthians 13:12-13 (NIV) Now we see but a poor reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known. And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.

2 Corinthians 1:20-21 (NIV) For no matter how many promises God has made, they are "Yes" in Christ. And so through him the "Amen" is spoken by us to the glory of God. Now it is God who makes both us and you stand firm in Christ.

Galatians 2:20 (NIV) I have been crucified with Christ & I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me & gave himself for me.

Philippians 3:13-14 Brothers, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind & straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.
Our Mission:

“To become a body of

believers whom the Holy Spirit can use to

help others experience Christ as Savior,

Sanctifier, Healer and Coming King.”

“God has dreams which we have not yet dreamt. He has visions we’ve not yet seen. He has passions we’ve only begun to feel. He has provisions we’ve only just begun to experience. He has fruit to be reaped that is still in the form of a seed to be planted. He has future Kingdom harvesters who are still in the ripening, yet-to-be-harvested fields. He has answers for prayers we’ve not yet prayed. He has more—more for us and more to accomplish through us.”

“Controlling What We Can - Trusting God For What We Can’t”
“Controlling Our Thought Life - Part 2”
Philippians 4:4-9 (Vs. 8)
Sunday, July 25th, 2021 @ Stuart Alliance Church
Pastor Jim Harp

Last week we took an overview of this verse in context of where our thoughts come from and how we’re to deal with them by taking them captive to the obedience of Christ (2 Corinthians 10:3-6)

Paul says that we’re to think on these things…ponder these things…like a cow chewing her cud. The word means to give proper weight and value to these things. AND, to allow the appraisal of these things to influence how we live our lives. This isn’t just so we have an understanding of the theology or of the words themselves, but that it can change our lives and the lives of those around us.

Proverbs 23:7 - “For as he thinks in his heart, so is he.”

Ralph Waldo Emerson - “A man is what he thinks about all day long.”

Recognize - Reject - Replace ~ Replace destructive thoughts with those things which “up-lift.”

1. Think on whatever is TRUE… The Greek word is al-ay-thace’ and literally means “what can’t be hidden.”

God Himself is the only final test for truth. The Bible says that He is unchanging and the moral standards revealed in His Word come from His Holy nature. Since He is unchanging, His standards do not change.

If you want to ponder truth - then ponder God. If you want to let your mind/thoughts rest on truth, then let them rest on God.

John 3:33 - “He who has received His testimony has set His seal to this, that God is true.”

If God is true, then Satan is the opposite - not truth and we must be on guard against his lies/schemes/deceptions.

We must also guard against and resist the culture of our day. Truth is not relative and is not found “within.”

The Knowledge of the Holy - by A. W. Tozer

2. Think on whatever is HONORABLE…the word means “that which inspires awe or reverence, dignified, worthy of respect.

Does that describe the last TV program we watched or the music we listened to yesterday or the conversations we’ve had this week?

This brings to mind our world-view. Is it Biblical or a secular view? Barna’s research around moral truth as defined by 6 specific views:
1) Jesus Christ lived a sinless life 2) God is the all-powerful and all-knowing Creator of the universe and He still rules today 3) Salvation is a gift from God and cannot be earned 4) Satan is real 5) A Christian has the responsibility to share their faith in Christ with other people 6) The Bible is accurate in all of its teachings.

His research showed only 4% of adults have a Biblical world-view.

3. Think on whatever is RIGHT…Retired C&MA Pastor Wes Lampe: “One definition of righteous is simply always doing what is right.”

1 John 3:7-8; 10 To think on what is right is to think on the holy nature of God, especially as revealed in the person of Jesus Christ, and to model our behavior after Him. To practice righteousness.

4. Think on whatever is PURE…Greek hagnos which means: free from ceremonial defilement, holy, sacred.

Ephesians 5:3-5; Romans 13:14
