Eph 4:1-5 I therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you that ye walk worthy of the vocation wherewith ye are called, With all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one another in love; Endeavouring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling; One Lord, one faith, one baptism,

Story:
Two taxidermists stopped before a window in which an owl was on display. They immediately began to criticize the way it was mounted. Its eyes were not natural; its wings were not in proportion with its head; its feathers were not neatly arranged; and its feet could be improved. When they had finished with their criticism, the old owl turned his head…and winked at them.

Scripture:
2 Corinthians 11:12-14
But what I do, that I will do, that I may cut off occasion from them which desire occasion; that wherein they glory, they may be found even as we. For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ. And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.

Do our actions have consequences? Does cause and effect really exist?
George W. Bush, was in an airport lobby, and noticed a man in a long flowing white robe with a long flowing white beard and flowing white hair. The man had a staff in one hand and some stone tablets under the other arm.
George W. approached the man and inquired, “Aren’t you Moses?”
The man ignored George W. and stared at the ceiling.
George W. positioned himself more directly in the man’s view and asked again,
“Aren’t you Moses?”
The man continued to stare at the ceiling.
George W. tugged at the man’s sleeve and asked once again, “Aren’t you Moses?”
The man finally responded in an irritated voice, “Yes, I am.”
George W. asked him why he was so irritable and the man replied, “The last time I spoke to a bush I had to spend 40 years in the desert!”

Quote of the Day:
“He who is slow to anger is better than the mighty, and he who rules his spirit than he who takes a city.” – Proverbs 16:32
Introduction: A Fire That Can Help or Hurt
Anger is a powerful emotion. It’s not always wrong—in fact, sometimes it rises up in us when something unjust or unfair happens. But here’s the truth: anger is a terrible driver. If you let it take control, it can steer your life into places you never intended to go.
A Simple Story
A man once slammed his truck door in frustration after a long, stressful day. His young son, trying to help, accidentally dropped a tool nearby. In a burst of anger, the man snapped at his son harshly.
The boy quietly walked away.
Later that night, the father realized something: the problem wasn’t his son—it was the stress and anger he carried home. He went to apologize, but the damage, though repairable, had already been done.
Anger doesn’t just visit—it leaves footprints.
Three Truths About Anger
1. Anger Is Quick, But Wisdom Is Patient
Anger reacts in seconds. Wisdom takes a breath.
When you pause—even for a moment—you give yourself the power to respond instead of react.
2. Words Spoken in Anger Echo Longer Than You Think
You can say something in 5 seconds that takes 5 years to heal.
That’s why controlling your tongue is one of the greatest strengths a person can have.
3. You Can Feel Anger Without Becoming It
You don’t have to deny anger—but you don’t have to let it control you either.
You can acknowledge it, step back, pray, breathe, and choose a better response.
A Little Humor (Because We All Need It 😊)
Someone once said,
“I don’t have a short temper… I just have a quick reaction time!”
We’ve all been there—but growth comes when we start slowing that “reaction time” down.
Practical Steps for Today
Pause before responding (even count to 10 if needed) Walk away if emotions are high Pray or reflect before speaking Ask yourself: “Will this matter tomorrow?”
Closing Encouragement
Today, you may face moments that test your patience. That’s life. But remember this:
You are stronger than your anger.
You are bigger than the moment.
You have the power to choose peace.
Don’t let anger drive—you take the wheel.

Luke 28:39-41 And Mary arose in those days, and went into the hill country with haste, into a city of Juda; And entered into the house of Zacharias, and saluted Elisabeth. And it came to pass, that, when Elisabeth heard the salutation of Mary, the babe leaped in her womb; and Elisabeth was filled with the Holy Ghost:

3/19–Be grateful for every single person who was part of your story. The ones who hurt you, the ones who helped, you cause they all taught you
Story:
The man turned to the congregation and with tears in his eyes confessed he had been a “counterfeit” Christian. Everyone in that church knew he was a taxidermist. His job was making dead animals look alive. He compared his life to one of his stuffed animals—he looked spiritually alive, but he was dead on the inside.”
Scripture:
Mark 7:6
He answered and said unto them, Well hath Esaias prophesied of you hypocrites, as it is written, This people honoureth me with their lips, but their heart is far from me.

3/19-Can You Spare A Minute?
3/19-Recognizing that you are not where you want to be is the starting point to begin changing your life
“But the one who endures to the end will be saved.” – Matthew 24:13
There’s something about the word endure that feels heavy, isn’t there?
It doesn’t mean sprinting.
It doesn’t mean everything is easy.
It means holding on… when everything in you wants to let go.
The Race Isn’t Won at the Starting Line
Anyone can start strong.
We’ve all had those moments—new goals, fresh motivation, a fire in our spirit. But somewhere along the way, life happens. Fatigue sets in. Disappointment creeps in. Progress slows down.
And that’s where endurance begins.
Because endurance isn’t tested when you feel strong…
It’s proven when you feel like quitting.
A Story to Think About
Imagine a man digging for water.
He digs 10 feet—nothing.
He quits and moves over.
He digs another 10 feet—still nothing.
He quits again.
What he doesn’t realize… is that water was just 2 feet deeper in his first spot.
How often do we quit just before the breakthrough?
Endurance means staying in the place God planted you long enough to see the blessing come through.
Endurance Builds Strength You Can’t Fake
There are some things you can’t learn any other way.
You can’t learn patience without waiting You can’t learn faith without uncertainty You can’t learn endurance without hardship
What you’re going through isn’t wasted—it’s working on you.
Every hard day is building something inside you that easy days never could.
Even When It’s Hard… Keep Going
You may be tired right now.
You may feel like you’ve given everything you’ve got.
You may even be wondering if it’s worth it.
Let me encourage you: Don’t stop now.
If you can’t run—walk If you can’t walk—stand If you can’t stand—lean on God
But whatever you do… don’t quit.
A Little Humor Along the Way
I heard about a man who said,
“I told God I needed strength… so He gave me problems.”
Then he said,
“I asked for patience… so He made me wait.”
Finally, he said,
“I asked for endurance… and now I’m afraid to ask for anything else!”
Sometimes the process isn’t what we expect—but it’s exactly what we need.
Your Finish Line Matters
God isn’t just interested in how you start—He’s watching how you finish.
There’s a reward in finishing.
There’s victory in holding on.
There’s purpose in pressing through.
What you’re facing today is temporary…
But what God is building in you is eternal.
Final Encouragement
You’ve come too far to give up now.
The storm won’t last forever.
The night will turn to morning.
And your endurance will lead you to victory.
Stay faithful. Stay steady. Stay strong.
Because in the end…
Those who endure—win.
Jean Frederick Oberlin, a minister in 18th century Germany, was traveling by foot in winter when he was caught in a severe snowstorm.
He soon lost his way in the blowing snow and feared he would freeze to death. In despair he sat down, not knowing which way to turn. Just then, a man came along in a wagon and rescued Oberlin. He took him to the next village and made sure he would be cared for.
As the man prepared to journey on, Oberlin said, “Tell me your name so that I may at least have you in grateful remembrance before God.”
The man, who by now had recognized Oberlin, replied, “You are a minister. Please tell me the name of the Good Samaritan.” Oberlin said, “I cannot do that, for it is not given in the Scriptures.” His benefactor responded, “Until you can tell me his name, please permit me to withhold mine.”

2 Kings 4:8-10 And it fell on a day, that Elisha passed to Shunem, where was a great woman; and she constrained him to eat bread. And so it was, that as oft as he passed by, he turned in thither to eat bread. And she said unto her husband, Behold now, I perceive that this is an holy man of God, which passeth by us continually. Let us make a little chamber, I pray thee, on the wall; and let us set for him there a bed, and a table, and a stool, and a candlestick: and it shall be, when he cometh to us, that he shall turn in thither.
