Rule #1 Stand Up Straight With Your Shoulders Back
A variety of topics (Proverbs 15) on being right with God:
Getting God’s attention
On being positive…
Playing the victim
What if you are the victim?
Family
Anger
Just so much noise
Scoffers
When you trust in Jesus here is what happens-
You are able to do God’s work in your life because he is already there willing and working the good through you…
How’s that for wisdom?
Philippians 2:10-16, Proverbs 14
A 12-week sermon series of practical insight from deeper-than-usual Bible research, and world renowned clinical psychologist Dr. Jordan Peterson, “The most influential public intellectual in the world right now”- New York Times.
Dr. Peterson has had 100 million lectures downloaded from YouTube, 55 million podcasts, and the #1 worldwide best selling non-fiction book with 3 million + copies sold, 12 Rules for Life. This book is currently being translated into 50 languages.
Dr. Peterson sells out concert venues of several thousand seats each with the most cross-generational and cross-cultural audiences ever seen! So far, 350,000 people from 165 cities around the world have attended. But, instead of a two-hour rock concert, audiences are inspired by two-hour lectures on philosophy, psychology, brain research and biblical teachings. Along with this, Dr. Peterson is also one of the world’s most influential critics of atheism.
Pastor David Housholder, The Well at Surf City, Huntington Beach (divedeeptogether.com) and Pastor Dana. David and Dana have spent much time exploring Dr. Peterson’s work and are creating this teaching series together. Combining Dana’s years of experience in brain research and clinical psychology with David’s expertise in biblical languages and key cultural insights into the biblical narrative, this series will be helpful in strengthening faith, and provide key practical actions which can be taken to bring about transformation in people of all ages.
Jesus comes at a particular time, in a particular place, and in the midst of a particular people to announce God’s Kingdom breakthrough. We will look at the significance of this as we seek to strengthen our knowledge and faith.

“If you love me you will do what I want you to do. You will do what makes me happy”.
Try raising your children this way…
Yet, this is the meaning of love for the vast majority of people today.
God has another way of looking at love…
“I will love you, and I will serve you by doing what is good for you, what is good according to the teachings of Jesus, whether you want it or not.”
Last week I met with Veronica Mendoza and her children Desma and Vincent in preparation for the kid’s baptism on Sunday. I talked about how God is present with us always and how the more we pay attention, the more we notice his presence. I shared my experience with asking God to show me where he was when I was at the LA Zoo (I have shared this story before here).
Last Sunday in my sermon, I also spoke of how God is with us in all arenas, including at work. Well, this week I am so encouraged as Veronica took these teachings immediately to heart.
Veronica works in construction and sent me this text message and photo.
“Good morning, Pastor. I thought you might appreciate this. I was praying on my way to work this morning and asked God to show me something and I got to work and found this.”
Yep, God is everywhere, including right there on the job…Praise God for showing up at work!
