What's that special song that helps you connect with God the best? Expresses your heart? Inspires you to realize God's power? Faithfulness? Love? We want to know.
Over the first 6 months at Bay West, we've done about 40 different worship songs to help connect our people to speak out as a body to God on Sundays and continue singing throughout the week. On FEBRUARY 28, in our morning worship, we are going to put the worship sets together with songs from the list that you say hit you the best. Choose one or two songs from the list only and click here to send an email to us.
If you are a facebook person, there is also a place on our Facebook fan page to add your responses.
The deadline to have your submissions in are Tuesday, February 23rd.
We will only take songs from the list below.
In order to have an orderly and excellent service, we will ONLY take submissions here, before the deadline...NOT on Sunday morning.
**If you don't know the song by the title (we all do that), then just google the title or go to youtube and search the exact title...there's probably a music video that someone has done with it that could help job your memory.

A solution is a solution...
Mark 1
23 Suddenly, a man in the synagogue who was possessed by an evil spirit began shouting,
24 “Why are you interfering with us, Jesus of Nazareth? Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are—the Holy One sent from God!”
25 Jesus cut him short. “Be quiet! Come out of the man,” he ordered.
26 At that, the evil spirit screamed, threw the man into a convulsion, and then came out of him.
Was blowing through this story today and thought a couple of things.
1) Bet that convulsion wasn't so pleasant...but it had to be done. Couldn't Jesus have thrown out a "no convulsions clause" or something? Then I thought...a solution is a solution and sometimes, we don't get shed of unwanted and harmful stuff without a bit of a fight or some unpleasantness... Maybe it's still the same today...anyone....anyone...Buehler?
2) How long did that thing last? Doesn't really say and you'd probably think it was only a minute or two...but it could have been longer. I guess if you think about it and consider that it might not have been instantaneous, it gives you a different view on solutions from God. I don't know why Jesus chose to let it go down like that, but he definitely had a reason for it to be that way.
Could it be a teaching tool for the guy to stop a behavior that left him vulnerable for the attack? Bet he'd remember that...
Could it be that others around needed to know how bad this type of thing was, so they needed a little bit of a scary show? I don't know and the Bible certainly doesn't really tell us here, but...it all happened under the sovereignty of God... Something to think about.
I wonder if this guy was ready to give up or thought the whole situation just had gotten worse in about second number 2 of that convulsion?
I wonder if he wondered if Jesus really did know what He was doing for a minute?
Could the possessed man have thought that the spirit was more powerful than Christ because he didn't like the violent nature of his present state in the midst of the convulsion?
Anyway...it made me think that some of God's needed and "welcomed" solutions aren't without price/turmoil/conflict...that, in the middle of them, it might not really seem as He knows what He's doing if you only trust in the present and what you see. And, sometimes, they might take longer to complete than we'd want them to...

Another cool verse
Psalm 34
11 Come, my children, and listen to me,
and I will teach you to fear the Lord.
12 Does anyone want to live a life
that is long and prosperous?
13 Then keep your tongue from speaking evil
and your lips from telling lies!
14 Turn away from evil and do good.
Search for peace, and work to maintain it.
That's about as straightforward an instruction as you can find in the Scriptures.

Another nugget from Jim's QT
Proverbs 32
8 The Lord says, “I will guide you along the best pathway for your life.
I will advise you and watch over you.
9 Do not be like a senseless horse or mule
that needs a bit and bridle to keep it under control.”
In other words...I (the Lord) got this, stop fighting me on it. Good gravy, man! If you don't know and need to, I'll tell you. If I don't tell you, you don't need to know. If you are in danger, I am aware and will handle it. (If I say "duck!", then "duck!".)
Apply your God-given sense to reconcile these statements "Almighty God" and "I will guide you...best pathway for your life...I will advise you...watch over you."
If you do, you will see that just going along with what God advises is the best course of action. The only thing you can do to mess it up is to choose to disregard where He leads you and what He tells you.

From the QT of Jim...
Here's what the writer in Proverbs had to say in my QT this morning...thought it was cool.
Proverbs 8
22 “The Lord formed me from the beginning, before he created anything else.
23 I was appointed in ages past, at the very first, before the earth began.
24 I was born before the oceans were created, before the springs bubbled forth their waters.
25 Before the mountains were formed, before the hills, I was born—
26 before he had made the earth and fields and the first handfuls of soil.
That's a message for us all, but especially all of us who think we just kind of happened along. What exactly does that say about your life?

What do YOU think: An Interesting Verse from Jim's QT this morning
Proverbs 8:12-13
12 “I, Wisdom, live together with good judgment. I know where to discover knowledge and discernment.
13 All who fear the Lord will hate evil. Therefore, I hate pride and arrogance, corruption and perverse speech.
Couple of questions to mull over
(I'm not going to answer them)

13 All who fear the Lord will hate evil. Therefore, I hate pride and arrogance, corruption and perverse speech.
Couple of questions to mull over
(I'm not going to answer them)
- What things does the writer seem to imply are evil? (easy one)
- Why do those who fear the Lord hate evil? (the 64 million dollar question - it's answered in the verses)

Shades...
In the PULSE series, we are taking a read on our "spiritual pulse" by looking at different pulse points in our lives as seen in Proverbs 4. Last Sunday, we were looking at the Eyes as our installment of our sermon series pulse. We looked at Proverbs 4:25 and talked about how, even though that verse tells us to look straight ahead, a massive point of the verse centers around how we look, as much as what we look at or where we look. It's like looking at the world through red colored sunglasses...
When you look through the sunglasses, everything looks differently that it did without them. Everything would have a red tint to it...colors look different...things that were pretty look a little weird. You begin to notice different things about objects that you look at because the red sunglasses cause different things to be highlighted. Because of the way that some things look, tinted really red, you are drawn to some things and repulsed by others. Has the reality of the world changed? No...but how you look at it has.
In our case, it's like someone gave us Truth-colored sunglasses and for the first time, when we signed up for this thing with Jesus, we put them on and see the world as it really is for the first time. It's life-altering....things look different...things that were attractive now seem a little less of a deal. We notice different things about objects and different attributes that we didn't notice before are highlighted about objects we see. Because of the way things look now, you are drawn to some things and possibly repulsed by other things....Has the reality of the world changed? No...but you now begin to see it how it really is...because you are looking at it through different eyes, in a different way.
Decisions are now looked on differently. The reasons that we do what we do are different.
