1 My Father's House Sons Help Build their Father's Business

2 If the Son of God lives in you then you are God's son or daughter

3 Sons and daughters are deeply drawn to their Father's house

4 Luke 2:41-46 Now his parents went to Jerusalem every year at the Feast of the Passover. And when he was twelve years old, they went up according to custom. And when the feast was ended, as they were returning, the boy Jesus stayed behind in Jerusalem. His parents did not know it, but supposing him to be in the group they went a day's journey, but then they began to search for him among their relatives and acquaintances, and when they did not find him, they returned to Jerusalem, searching for him. After three days they found him in the temple, sitting among the teachers, listening to them and asking them questions.

5 Luke 2:48-51 And when his parents saw him, they were astonished. And his mother said to him, Son, why have you treated us so? Behold, your father and I have been searching for you in great distress. And he said to them, Why were you looking for me? Did you not know that I must be in my Father's house? And they did not understand the saying that he spoke to them. And he went down with them and came to Nazareth and was submissive to them. And his mother treasured up all these things in her heart.

6 The Father's House Old Testament The Tabernacle of Moses The Tent of David The Temple of Solomon

7 The Father's House New Testament?

8 Sons and Daughters

9 What is the Father's house? It's not a tabernacle, tent or temple It's not a denomination or organization It's the Father's family

10 You are a living stone

11 1 Peter 2:5 And you are living stones that God is building into his spiritual temple.

12 Orphans look out for themselves but sons and daughters are about caring for their Father's family

13 The Son's deepest craving: To do the will of His Father and accomplish His work

14 John 4:31-34 Meanwhile the disciples were urging him, saying, Rabbi, eat. But he said to them, I have food to eat that you do not know about. So the disciples said to one another, Has anyone brought him something to eat? Jesus said to them, My food is to do the will of him who sent me and to accomplish his work."

15 Sons are led by the spirit of compassion

16 Romans 8:14 For all who are allowing themselves to be led by the Spirit of God are sons of God.

17 Matthew 9:35-38 And Jesus went throughout all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues and proclaiming the gospel of the kingdom and healing every disease and every affliction. When he saw the crowds, he had compassion for them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd. Then he said to his disciples, The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few; therefore pray earnestly to the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into his harvest.

18 J.O.Y. Jesus Others Yourself

19 Philippians 2:3-7 Do nothing from selfishness or empty conceit, but with humility of mind regard one another as more important than yourselves; do not merely look out for your own personal interests, but also for the interests of others. Have this attitude in yourselves which was also in Christ Jesus, who, although He existed in the form of God, did not regard equality with God a thing to be grasped, but emptied Himself, taking the form of a bond-servant, and being made in the likeness of men.

20 True sons and daughters are about their Father's business

21 What is the Father's business?

22 Luke 4:18-19 The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, for he has anointed me to bring Good News to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim that captives will be released, that the blind will see, that the oppressed will be set free, and that the time of the Lord s favor has come.

26 Every Day is a Kingdom Day

27 Romans 12: 1-2 (NIV) Therefore, I urge you brothers and sisters, in view of God s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God- this is your true and proper worship.

28 Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God s will ishis good, pleasing and perfect will.

29 Romans 12 (MSG) So here s what I want you to do, God helping you: Take your everyday ordinary life- your sleeping, eating, going-to-work, and walking-around (the mall) life- and place it before God as an offering.

30 Embracing what God does for you is the best thing you can do for him... Don t become so welladjusted to your culture that you fit into it without even thinking. Instead, fix your attention on God. You ll be changed from the inside out.

31 Readily recognize what he wants from you, and quickly respond to it. Unlike the culture around you, always dragging you down to its level of immaturity, God brings the best out of you, develops well-formed maturity in YOU.

32 God LOVES Coffee As I have loved you, love one another. John 13:34

33 JESUS Adores JOE! The Lord is close to the brokenhearted. Psalm 34:18-20

34 God Loves Ross Dress For Less (and TRACY the Manager)

35 Thermometer vs. Thermostat We weren t called to be an echo in this world. We were called to be a VOICE! - Kris Vallotton

36 God, Popcorn and a Prayer. (0r) God LOVES Multi Tasking

37 God LOVES Tamara

38 We were meant to be Jesus to the world.

39 Is the life that you re living, worth the price that He paid? Todd White

40

41 Lord, I want you to Take my everyday ordinary life, when I m sleeping, eating, going to work, going to the movies or the beach, hanging out with friends and family, even when I m walking around the mall. I place my whole life in the offering basket to you. May it be a sweet smelling sacrifice that reaches your throne room.

42 Today I gladly embrace what you have done and are doing for me as your son/daughter. Help me not to adjust or blend in to the world around me without a thought. Instead I m choosing to fix my eyes and my attention on you. Then I ll be changed from the inside out. And as I gain understanding for what you want from me, I ll choose to respond to it quickly!

43 Instead of people and situations around me dragging me down to their level, I choose to come up higher and see it from your perspective, for You ALONE know what s best, and you bring out the best of me. Father shape me into everything you originally designed me to be.

44 *I give you permission now to use me to reach out to those in need of a touch from you. Quicken me Holy Spirit and help me to see them and the situation through your lens. Give me boldness which is my inheritance as your Son/ Daughter. Father be Extraordinary through my Ordinary in Jesus name. Amen!

You must be compassionate, just as your Father is compassionate. - Luke 6:36 (NLT)

You must be compassionate, just as your Father is compassionate. - Luke 6:36 (NLT) You must be compassionate, just as your Father is compassionate. - Luke 6:36 (NLT) Luke 6:32-37 (NLT) If you love only those who love you, why should you get credit for that? Even sinners love those who
