Peter Roselle: Unless the Lord Builds the House We Will Labor in Vain (Psalm 127:1)
Proverbs 25:2 in the Passion Translation says, “God conceals the revelation of His word in the hiding place of His glory. The honor of kings is revealed by how they thoroughly search out the deeper meaning of all that God says.” This clip focuses on the power of prayer to help get all the direction we need.

Be blessed.
Remember: you have been “blessed to be a blessing.” (Genesis 12:2)
Pay it forward!

One of the reasons people don't like to read the Bible is because it's very convicting. We see how we're supposed to live, and then we look in the mirror and we realized we fell short. And instead of just humbling ourselves and getting down on our knees we say, "yeah, I think I'll read the sports page." 

Proverbs 25:2 (TPT)
“God conceals the revelation of His word in the hiding place of His glory. The honor of kings is revealed by how they thoroughly search out the deeper meaning of all that God says.”

Proverbs 25:29 (NKJV)
“Whoever has no rule over his own spirit is like a city broken down, without walls.”

Psalm 127:1
“Unless the LORD builds the house, its builders labor in vain.”

That's a good Word for 2021, right? There's a swirl, going around, about us, in the atmosphere right now. People are very disappointed. A lot of Christians are very disappointed about the way the election has gone up till now. I don't want anybody to think that I'm not praying for that. I am praying for that. But I do think that we do have to also honor the rule of law in America. That's what makes us great. We honor the rule of law. If there was fraud involved, God will show us where the evidence is, that evidence will get presented in a court. That's how it works here. 

You should be happy about that because you can go to other countries, called banana republics - it's not selling clothes. We have rights here, and that's what makes us great - we honor the rule of law. That we're not just rioting in the streets. The church has just gotten too comfortable and bought into this lie, that we're not relevant for the culture - that this is just the theory that we talk about here on Sunday mornings, but that you can't apply it on your job. 

I mean, come on, really? How come Paul stayed being a tent maker? Jesus was a carpenter till he was 30, right? His disciples were all working fishermen, tax collectors, all people out in the market among the lost, all the time. When you read about Paul in Ephesus, he was going on his lunch break from his job. He was making tents. They would come to him and say, "Can we borrow your canvas vest that you had on?" 

We know you're going to go teach in the hall of Tyrannus, during your lunch break. There's sick people that we want to see healed and we can't get them to you. We want to bring your smock and your bandana, (your handkerchief, and your apron) to them. They would bring those work clothes and lay them on people, and those people would get healed. It was while he was working. The honor of kings is revealed by how thoroughly, they search out the deeper meaning. 

Just a little further down the chapter 25, in verse 28, says, "Whoever has no rule over his own spirit is like a city broken down without walls." That's a very profound truth. From the day we started this church in 1999, this has been the most highly quoted verses, that have come out of my mouth since we've been out here. 

Because, we forget sometimes that when you look at, what's listed as evidence of the Holy Spirit, the fruit, right? The fruit that the spirit is operating in you is love, joy, peace, patience, right? Kindness, and then there's that last one in the King James, it was called temperance, right? Self-control. If there's any group of people that should be able to yield to the power of God in us (Holy Spirit), and say, “Give me control so that I'm not this person, who's not ruling my spirit because the city with the walls broken down means you're open for attack.”

James 1
12 Blessed is the man who endures temptation; for when he has been approved, he will receive the crown of life which the Lord has promised to those who love Him. 
13 Let no one say when he is tempted, “I am tempted by God”; for God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does He Himself tempt anyone. 
14 But each one is tempted when he is drawn away by his own desires and enticed. 
15 Then, when desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, brings forth death.
