RDC (The Red Door Community Church)
SOMETHING (Episode 3)
OUR CONVERSATION FOR JUNE 2017: SOMETHING SOMETHING OLD. SOMETHING NEW. SOMETHING MORE. Sometimes what feels comfortable is not healthy. Even so, we slip into the way we've always done things because it seems to be easier. And, don't we all want easier in this complicated life? The uncomfortable places are the open door to growth and strength—it’s where we take the leap of faith. BUT. And, it’s a big but—if we stay in the comfortable place—we will find ourselves deep in anxiety and eventually stress. Because, what matters is missed. Would you do it, if, you knew it would all work out? The grid of this conversation comes from the Old and New Testament—the full, complete unabridged story of God—the crosspoint of life. Sunday Service @ 10:30am @ 1219 3rd St Salem 97304

And.

God has something more for each one of us--now and in the not-yet!
Key God-word (a prophecy):
"Look here, what’s done is done and gone. The now is new, and there’s hope in the not-yet. I will tell you what’s to come, even before the events are brand-new" (Isaiah 42:9, Voice)
SOMETHING
The dynamics of God’s words remain foundational to the formation of the people of God: past, present, and future. The context of the past is to be understood to understand the with-God life in the present and future.

KEY GOD-WORD: (Voice)
Something Old:
2 Kings. Read 2 Kings 17-20 this week.
Isaiah 37, 38.
Isaiah 37: 16,17
Hezekiah: Eternal, Commander of heavenly armies, who sits enthroned above the winged guardians—You alone are God. Only You are supreme over all the nations and kingdoms of the earth.
Hezekiah: And only You have made the heavens above, the earth below, and everything in them.
Please, please listen, Eternal One. Attend to us here and now; look and listen (Voice).
Isaiah 38: 1-8
Meanwhile, back in Judah, Hezekiah became very sick and was about to die. Learning of it, Isaiah, Amoz’s son, went to visit him.
Eternal One: Get your affairs in order. You are going to die. You are not going to recover from this.
Hezekiah turned his face to the wall and started praying.
Hezekiah: Eternal One, I beg you to remember how I have followed the path You set before me, and how I did so with all my heart. Remember how I have done what You wanted with sincerity of purpose every step of the way. Then Hezekiah broke down and wept. He wept and wept. Then a different word from the Eternal came upon the prophet Isaiah.
Eternal One: Go and tell Hezekiah that the Eternal, the God of your ancestor David, says: “I have heard your prayer, and I have seen your tears. I’ve decided to add another 15 years to your life. Not only that, but I will also rescue you and this city and not allow you to fall under the control of the Assyrian king. I Myself will protect this city, Jerusalem. You’ll know that I, the Eternal One, will keep My promise by this sign: I will make the sun’s shadow—which has climbed these steps of Ahaz’s stairway—go backward 10 steps.”
And the shadow on the stairway moved backward 10 steps (Voice).
Something New: Matthew. This week read Matthew 8.
Matthew 8:6-10
Officer: Lord, I have a servant who is lying at home in agony, paralyzed. Jesus: I will come to your house, and I will heal him.
Lord, I don’t deserve to have You in my house. And, in truth, I know You don’t need to be with my servant to heal him. Just say the word, and he will be healed.
That, after all, is how authority works. My troops obey me whether I am next to them or not—similarly, this sickness will obey You. Jesus was stunned by the depth of the officer’s faith (Voice).
