Scriptures for your heart and mind to stand on: 
* He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds. Psalms 147:3
* He sent His word and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions. Psalms 107:20
* For those who are led by the Spirit of God are the children of God. The Spirit you received does not make you slaves, so that you live in fear again; rather, the Spirit you received brought about your adoption to sonship. And by him we cry, “Abba, Father.” The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are God’s children. Romans 8:14-16
* The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly. John 10:10

NWLA Church | The former Man

Ephesians 4:22-24 NLT 22 throw off your old sinful nature and your former way of life, which is corrupted by lust and deception. 23 Instead, let the Spirit renew your thoughts and attitudes. 24 Put on your new nature, created to be like God—truly righteous and holy. "When we surrender to God, we render our old self powerless."
“He who began a good work in you, will carry it through…”
Philippians 1:6

NWLA Church | Father, forgive them

Luke 23:34
34 And Jesus said, “Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.” And they cast lots to divide his garments.
If Jesus asked for forgiveness (for us) at His death, we should make it a daily practice to forgive as Fathers, Sons and followers of Jesus.
 
Matthew 6:8-13
8 Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask him. 9 Pray then like this:
“Our Father in heaven,
hallowed be your name.
10 Your kingdom come,
your will be done,
on earth as it is in heaven.
11 Give us this day our daily bread,
12 and forgive us our debts,
as we also have forgiven our debtors.
13 And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.

NWLA Church | Humanity

Romans 5:12-15
12 Therefore, just as sin came into the world through one man, and death through sin, and so death spread to all men[a] because all sinned— 13 for sin indeed was in the world before the law was given, but sin is not counted where there is no law. 14 Yet death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over those whose sinning was not like the transgression of Adam, who was a type of the one who was to come.
15 But the free gift is not like the trespass. For if many died through one man's trespass, much more have the grace of God and the free gift by the grace of that one man Jesus Christ abounded for many
 
Genesis 1:26-27
26 Then God said, “Let us make man[h] in our image, after our likeness. And let them have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over the livestock and over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.”
27 
So God created man in his own image,
    in the image of God he created him;
    male and female he created them.
 
 
Our humanity is:• God-given, • corrupted in our natural earthly state, • created new through Jesus.
 

Christian Living | Pornography, Addiction & Christianity

Rob Lopez, Christian Alonzo & Gabriel sit down and discuss everything from Neural plasticity to pornographic addiction while playing on a Church worship team. Rob & Christian will share more of their personal struggles from childhood trauma to coping mechanisms as adults in upcoming episodes. Our prayer is that these episodes will bring to light some questions to ask and conversations to have with your friends and family. The Church is not a place to hide our sinful nature, it's a place to bring it into the light and ask for help in genuine, sincere humility. There is Hope in Jesus. 

NWLA Church | Pentecost

• Moses encounters a bush that is burning but the fire does not consume it - God speaks to man
• Elijah has wind, earthquake and then fire - God speaks to man Jesus is crucified, appears to the disciples teaches them many truths and then instructs them to wait for the gift.
• The upper room, the tongues of fire - God speaks through man.
 
Acts 2:1-2 When the day of Pentecost arrived, they were all together in one place. 2 And suddenly there came from heaven a sound like a mighty rushing wind, and it filled the entire house where they were sitting. 3 And divided tongues as of fire appeared to them and rested on each one of them. 4 And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit gave them utterance.
TPT On the day Pentecost was being fulfilled,[a] all the disciples were gathered in one place. 2 Suddenly they heard the sound of a violent blast of wind[b] rushing into the house[c] from out of the heavenly realm. The roar of the wind was so overpowering it was all anyone could bear! 3 Then all at once a pillar of fire appeared before their eyes.[d] It separated into tongues of fire that engulfed[e] each one of them. 4 They were all filled and equipped[f] with the Holy Spirit and were inspired[g] to speak in tongues—empowered by the Spirit to speak in languages they had never learned!
Because Jesus is the great high priest - he has empowered us with the Holy Spirit
Hebrews 9:11-14 11 But when Christ appeared as a high priest of the good things that have come,[e] then through the greater and more perfect tent (not made with hands, that is, not of this creation) 12 he entered once for all into the holy places, not by means of the blood of goats and calves but by means of his own blood, thus securing an eternal redemption. 13 For if the blood of goats and bulls, and the sprinkling of defiled persons with the ashes of a heifer, sanctify[f] for the purification of the flesh, 14 how much more will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without blemish to God, purify our[g] conscience from dead works to serve the living God.

Relationships | Christian Alonzo - Single & Divorced

In this episode of the Carry Us Through Podcast I sit down with my friend Christian (@Alonzo_Woodworks) an artist, carpenter and the Hipster King of Silver Lake (j/k) and talk about some of the challenges of being single. We go further and talk about the combined challenges of being single after a divorce. Christian shares some of his past and hopes for the future. As well as how we can encourage and be helpful to singles and those coming out of a divorce. We will definitely be doing some more podcasts together in the near future; but in this one we touch on some areas that a lot of people in Church seem to shy away from; have a listen and let us know what you think.
