The Way to Happiness: Jesus’ First Sign in John 2 (Mark E. Moore)

We’re thrilled to offer you a free sample chapter of Mark E. Moore’s book on leadership, The Master Leader, available here: https://themasterleader.com/.

In this message from John 2, Mark will help you grow in their love of the church more: to see church more like a wedding than a funeral. If you feel like Jesus is not meeting your expectations in life, perhaps it’s because he wants to exceed them. What do you do when Jesus doesn’t met your expectations? Mark offers an answer anchored in the story of Jesus’ first sign, at a wedding in Cana of Galilee.

Moms: Managing Your Emotions (Linda Ruth Reeb)

How can moms manage their emotions? MomsMentoring founder and author of Wise Moms, Linda Ruth Reeb, encourages moms to handle them from a Christian perspective.

First, learn to identify your triggers, she suggests, like your kids disobeying, or perhaps emotions stemming from unresolved issues from your past.

Then, she gives hope and advice about healing from a Christian perspective, as she points moms to God’s Word. Not only this, she emphasizes the importance of setting healthy boundaries and healing. 

Reeb poses this to moms: Are you curious or critical when your emotions get the best of you? Get curious! How can we give negative emotions to God? Or should we just think differently? What’s the role of action to change our thinking? 

Linda learned something about how to handle her anger from how her own mother modeled it that she shares with listeners.

1 Peter 3: Strengthened for Suffering (Josh Patrick)

Josh Patrick delivered this message on suffering in 2018, just months before he died of a years-long battle with stage four colon cancer. He knew suffering well. This sermon for me, which we turned into chapter 7 of the book Living Hope, is Josh at his best. He shares a story in this message that to me stands the test of time. He is humble, ardent, and so filled with hope. 

In fact, I would say above all, Josh Patrick lived out the gospel of the hope of Jesus more than any one I’ve known personally. 

This message is a treasure. In it Josh gives us four pieces of advice on how to be strengthened for suffering. I can think of no one better to deliver this message on 1 Peter 3:15–22.

If you want to support us and the Patrick families desire to get Josh’s content out, grab a copy of Josh’s book we adapted from this sermon series into book format. It’s called Living Hope, and you can buy from our website here: https://himpublications.com/product/living-hope/

Quick summary of his main points: Disappointment grows in difficult circumstances, unmet expectations, and limited perspective. 

Quotes: “Isn’t it amazing what a little disappointment will do to your theology?” “John took his disappointment straight to Jesus with brutal honesty.” “Faith is like film; it develops in the dark.” “To doubt is a pitstop on the journey of faith; it’s not a destination.”
