If you give something up, what should it be? In this talk, Gary looks at the the passage when Jesus tells his discples "it is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than a rich man enter heaven". But what was the real issue? Was it wealth, or was it that there was something in the man's life that was keeping God as number 2 rather than number 1? What things in our lives stop God from having the number one slot? And is Lent a good time to start working with God on those things? Lots of questions - and maybe some answers.

Matthew 1:12-19 lists part of Jesus' family tree - and tells us something about who he was and his family history, although it tells us very little about Joseph or Mary - key players in the Nativity story. Over the last few months we have been looking at our vision, looking back at where we come from and forward to God's calling and vision: Who are we? What is our DNA - who are we? What is God calling us to be? What do others expect us to be? What say do we have in the future? What we want for the future is primarily to know who He wants us to be and how He plans to transform from what we are into His vision for us? But there are some givens: We are loved ndash; we are valued ndash; we are resourced by all the riches of our Father. We are seeking God among brothers and sisters that love us and want the best for us. We are Christians so we know that by definition the best is yet to come? 2009 will be an important year. We enter it as brothers and sisters we enter it shoulder to shoulder with partners in mission.

Some verses to look at: (you can click the links to view them, thanks to Biblegateway.com and Scripturizer Remix Ps 93:1 Ps 96:6 Ps 118:14 1 Tim 1:12 Mike Pilavachi tells us The heart of worship is and always has been blessing Him, coming to intimacy with Him, giving to Him, he is the centre of worship and how dare we ever make us the centre of worship. Worship isn't to please me, it's to please Jesus. Worship is for Jesus, it's to Jesus, and it's about Jesus. If our job is to worship with all our stength, and worship is about servingm then the basic question is "What would you like the people who see and hear us in worship to think about Jesus"?

A well known story - the son who takes his inheritance early, squanders it, then realises that he would be better being a servant for his father than a starving pig herder in a strange land. Or it is the story of the father, who gives his son the freedom to choose what to do with his life - hoping each day that the son would want to spend it with him - and seeing the son returning on the horizon runs out to meet him.

David (later King of Israel) was a young shepherd boy who took on the champion of the Phillistines - by any measure it is an unfair battle. (The story is in the Old Testament in 1 Sam 17.) There are some things in our society that are big and scary: on the face of it, there seems to be an similar unequal battle. So do we run away from the fight? Knowing that God is with us; that He has a plan, like David we can run into the battle. David knew who he was - didn't need extra bits and pieces. He knew he committed to the fight - so he ran into it. He knew that he had God with him.

Around 479BC ... Esther - a person who was in the right place at the right time ... let's look at the historical context for the story. Around 479BC the remnant of Israel was in captivity. 50 years earlier, 10 tribes of the Northern Kingdom were lost to Assyria. Then Babylon conquered Assyria and the remaining two tribes (Southern Kingdom) brought into captivity. The ruling classes, the skilled people, the ones who could read and write, were taken leaving only the workers in Jerusalem. It was a tricky time for Israel - would faith and Jewish identity survive? Brief summary of the story - Esther is brought up by her uncle Mordecai (a court adviser who uncovers a plot against the king), who persuades her to put herself forward when King Xerxes decides he needs a new wife. She gets the job. Meanwhile, Haman, the prime minister decides everyone should bow down to him. Unfortunately for him the Jewish people do not bow down to anyone but God. Haman (egged on by his wife) orders all Jews to be killed, and builds a 75 foot gallows for Mordecai. This could be then end for Israel. However - Mordecai asks Esther to plead their case to Xerces, and taking her life into her hands invites Xerces to a feast. Now (although the book doesn't mention God directly) God is working behind the scenes. Before the feast, Xerces has a bad night and calls for his favourite reading matter "the Xploits of Xerxes" - and opens it at the place where it tells of Mordecai saving the king's life. So when he goes to the feast is is well disposed to listen to what Esther has to say about Haman's plans. Mordecai is made PM, Haman's gallows is tested on Haman and it all ends happily for Esther and the Jewish people - who still celebrate the Feast of Purim. Faith survived because ordinary people like Esther and Mordecai kept "the rumour of God" alive Because of prophets like Ezekiel and faith leaders like Mordecai and willing servants like Esther faith made it through Exile Ezra and Nehemiah could rebuild because Esther was faithful Never underestimate the power of the faithfulness of an ordinary Christian!
