Spiritual Proactivity by Don Campbell

Lesson 1 in "Habits of Highly Effective Christians" series

No one can make you change
No one can upset me
No one can make me mad
No one can hurt my feelings

I am either a REACTIVE person or a PROACTIVE person.

Proverbs 4:23 (KJV)

The world teaches:

• Genetic Determination - my DNA makes me the way I am
  
• Psychic Determination - my parents made me this way
• Environmental Determination - my situation made me this way

Stimulus - - Response

Response-able

Testimony of God's Protection

Last Sunday afternoon an EF-3 tornado hit our community damaging over 200 homes and 1oo businesses. Thankfully there were no causalities.

Ron Mitchell - President of Prattville Christian Academy shares a testimony how the destruction of the tornado of PCA affected the students, staff, and faculty.

Paul and Theresa May - thankful for the outpouring of love, support, and materials after significant damage to their house.

Doug and Diane Huff - Gives glory to God for the demonstration of how His people reacted to help them. People weren't worried about damages, but instead were concerned with ensuring that people were OK.

Kenneth & Leah Hedgepeth - Kenneth talks about how he doesn't usually go to the closet, but bravely watches the TV or go the porch to watch the storm. But this time, something told him to move and he responded. He was encouraged about how the church responded.

Mark and Michelle Thompson - Wants to the Dance of David because they feel so BLESSED throughout their experience. Talk about how God is Jehovah Jireh, the Protector. Everyday since the tornado people from the church have come out to help clean up and rebuild.

Boyd Wainwright - Boyd's house is a complete loss. Boyd talks about ensuring that your relationship with God is right because nobody expected the kind of destruction to come through our community as we were worshiping last week...just 3 1/2 hours before the tornado came.

Bill and Brandy Moseley - Lost entire house. Talks about how they relied on God during the middle of the storm. Claimed God's Promises of Food, Clothing, and Shelter. Every closet was intact and perfectly dry. Keeps pointing to God. Through all this chaos, God is at work.

A Word to the Wise (Part 5) by Don Campbell

Usually you hear two extremes about financial matters in sermons. Either you hear that you God expects you to be poor and all rich people are not following the will of God, or you hear that God wants you to be wealthy and healthy and if you are not wealthy, then you are not following the will of God.

How do these two extremes come from the same Bible? What does God's word say about finances?

Recording Issues

We apologize to those who rely on this site for hearing the sermons from Hunter Hills. On Nov. 18, 2007 we started having difficulty with our recording equipment. That sermon was not posted. The sermon on Nov. 25, 2007 was posted, but it sounds awful. Starting on December 2 the equipment wouldn't record at all.

Due to the death of my father-in-law on November 18 and then the holidays, I had no chance to troubleshoot the problem. We finally tracked it down to short-circuit in the sound card of the computer that records. We replaced it, only to discover that the adapter that changes a 1/4" stereo plug into a 1/8" mono plug had also been damaged.

I was successfully able to record the sermon on January 20, 2008. Hopefully all of our issues have been resolved and regular postings will resume. Once again, I apologize for the inconvenience.

   You can’t get there from here. You must start from the other side of the mountain!” In the same way, you cannot arrive at your life’s purpose by starting with a focus on yourself. You must begin with God, your Creator. You exist only because God wills that you exist. You were made by God and for God—and until you understand that, life will never make sense. It is only in God that we discover our origin, our identity, our meaning, our purpose, our significance, and our destiny

Vengeance is Mine by Don Campbell

Luke 6:27-28

We can trust God with Injustice, because God is the God of Vengeance.
No, that’s the God of the Old Testament

• Malachi 3:6 – I the Lord do not change - also Will a man rob God?
• Hebrews 13:8 – the Lord is the same yesterday, today and forever

No, you say, God is the God of Love. Yes, and more...

• Nahum 1:2 – the Lord is Jealous, avenging, angry…and Good
• Deut. 32:35 – the Song of Moses
• Deut. 32:41 – the Song of Moses
• Deut. 32:43 – the Song of Moses
• Ps. 58:10 – Strong word picture – bathe their feet in the blood of the wicked
• Ps. 94:1-2
• Is. 35:4 – he will come with vengeance and divine retribution
• Romans 12:17-21 – Vengeance is mine. I will repay. Make room for God’s wrath.
• Titus 2:7-8 – let those who oppose you be ashamed…

Vigilante Vengeance – action
Vindictive Vengeance – attitude

Lev. 19:18 - Do not seek revenge (action ) or bear a grudge (feelings)

God has a plan
It’s God’s prerogative

Will a man rob God? If you take revenge or harbor vengeance in your heart…you rob God of what is His…Vengeance is MINE says the Lord.

Tomorrow is the day of justice.
Today is the day of mercy.

Matt. 5:7 – Blessed are the merciful for they will be shown mercy – axiomatic
James 2:12-13 – judgment without mercy to anyone who has not been merciful.

God will avenge at the Best Time. There is a day coming and it is circled in red….the day of vengeance the day of the Lord.

Rev. 14:17 – the wine press of God’s wrath
2 Thess. 1:6 – not two God’s – I the Lord do not change

Feel like you have suffered injustice? Take your injustice to the foot of the cross and see how small it is compared to the injustice Jesus suffered because of your sin.

Shepherding a Child's Heart by Don Campbell

We must shepherd their thoughts, helping them learn DISCERNMENT and WISDOM (God’s Wisdom).

Our goal is not just to have well behaved children but they need to know WHY they sin and HOW to recognize spiritual change in their lives.

It involves an investment of your life in your child’s life. It requires open and honest communication that reveals the meaning and purpose of life.

Values are not taught...they are caught. The shepherd doesn’t say to the sheep, "go up that hill"...the shepherd walks up the hill and the sheep follow.

Spiritual Formation by Don Campbell

Spiritual maturation is a deliberate process, but many of us get caught in ruts.

Hebrews 5:11-6:3 - A Call to Maturity

What is spiritual maturity?

- It is someone who has "trained themselves to distinguish good from evil."

- They can get along with folks and be unified (I Corinthians 3:1-4)

- It is someone who is firm in his beliefs (not tossed back and forth) and it is someone who "can speak the truth in love." (Ephesians 4:11-16)

- Maturity is a result of someone who has persevered through struggles. (James 1:2-4)

I've Got that Feeling by Don Campbell

Happiness, Contentment, & Joy
(Part 3)

"You can't make yourself feel something that you do not feel, but you can make yourself do right in spite of what your feelings are." ~ Pearl S. Buck

God's desire for you today may not be for you to be happy. God's number one desire is for Him to be glorified. He created me to glorify Him, so sometimes He is glorified more by me when I am miserable.

Why should I worship a God who doesn't want me to be happy?
Why should I stay in a marriage when I am not happy?
Why should I stay with this church when I am not happy?
Why should I stay at a job when it doesn't make me happy?

One word answer: Love

Our problem is we think that Love is a feeling. Today we will talk about the fact that love is a choice.


I Corinthians 13:4-7 - the definition of Love
- How many of these items are feelings?
- Where are the feelings in this definition of Love?

Love is a choice.
Love is a commitment.
Love is not a fuzzy feeling.

There are times when you are in a valley and you don't have warm, fuzzy feelings toward God.

Hebrews 12:2-3 - For the Joy set before him, endured...

The Pursuit of Happiness by Don Campbell

Happiness, Contentment, & Joy
(Part 1)

Declaration of Independence - Right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

National obsession - I want to be happy - #1 Goal

Happiness - is getting what you want

Contentment - is wanting what you get

Joy - is the positive confidence I possess by trusting God regardless of the circumstances

John 15:11 - So that my joy may be in you and that your joy may be complete

Psalm 37:3

Nehemiah 8:10 - The joy of the Lord is your Strength

We must ask ourselves:

Am I going to judge God by the circumstances I don't understand or judge the circumstances I don't understand in light of the character of God.

Happiness depends on chance.
Joy and Contentment depend on trusting in the character of God.

Unbroken Bread by Don Campbell

There is a running joke around the church that we can't do anything without there being a potluck Eating, breaking bread is an important part of our worship because breaking bread is about family time. It is a time to sit down and share family values and keep up-to-date on the happenings of everybody. It is a time to impart knowledge, mold thinking, and teach. If you don't have time to eat together, you don't have time to teach.

What is Christianity all about? (Acts 2:42-47)

• Fellowship
• Breaking Bread (eating together, not the Lord's Supper)
  
• Praying

The Altar of Incense by Don Campbell

Psalm 14:2

• The tradition was to burn the incense in the morning and in the evening (twice a day)
• The Jews would also pray at these times, thus the burning of the incense came to symbolize the prayers of the worshippers

Revelation 8:2-4

• Heaven contains the altar of incense and an angel brings the censer in that contains the prayers of all the saints
• Prayers are a sweet-smelling aroma before the Lord

2 Corinthians 2:14-16
1) Death Redeemed

• By placing the dead flowers that have been dried in the censer and then placing the coals from the Bronze Altar into the censer, they bring the flowers back to a new life. Death has been redeemed.
• As we spread the aroma of Christ, we will experience two different reactions. Some will be drawn to the smell (the aroma of life) and others will be repulsed by it (the aroma of death).

Genesis 27:27
2) The Scent of the Son

The (Not-So) Terrible Teens by Don Campbell and Todd Newsom

The (Not-So) Terrible Teens
Begin with the End in Mind
Teens

I Timothy 4:12

Be an Example
I Corinthians 11:1

There needs to be a balance with teens and parents in these areas:

• Fellowship
• Communication
• Accountability

Any one or two without the other(s) can lead to results other than that which parents desire for their children.

Ephesians 6:10-13

You can not raise a perfect teen. Therefore, equip your children with the tools they need.

Colossians 3:21
