John‬ ‭20:19-23‬ ‭NLT‬‬ “That Sunday evening the disciples were meeting behind locked doors because they were afraid of the Jewish leaders. Suddenly, Jesus was standing there among them! “Peace be with you,” he said. 20 As he spoke, he showed them the wounds in his hands and his side. They were filled with joy when they saw the Lord! 21 Again he said, “Peace be with you. As the Father has sent me, so I am sending you.” 22 Then he breathed on them and said, “Receive the Holy Spirit.” 23 If you forgive anyone’s sins, they are forgiven. If you do not forgive them, they are not forgiven.””

NWLA Church |4.10.22 ”The Arrival”

Pastor Jeremy Ballon 
"The Arrival" - Palm Sunday 
 
The Arrival
Luke 19:28-40 After telling this story, Jesus went on toward Jerusalem, walking ahead of his disciples. 29 As he came to the towns of Bethphage and Bethany on the Mount of Olives, he sent two disciples ahead. 30 “Go into that village over there,” he told them. “As you enter it, you will see a young donkey tied there that no one has ever ridden. Untie it and bring it here. 31 If anyone asks, ‘Why are you untying that colt?’ just say, ‘The Lord needs it.’” 32 So they went and found the colt, just as Jesus had said. 33 And sure enough, as they were untying it, the owners asked them, “Why are you untying that colt?” 34 And the disciples simply replied, “The Lord needs it.” 35 So they brought the colt to Jesus and threw their garments over it for him to ride on. 36 As he rode along, the crowds spread out their garments on the road ahead of him. 37 When he reached the place where the road started down the Mount of Olives, all of his followers began to shout and sing as they walked along, praising God for all the wonderful miracles they had seen. 38  “Blessings on the King who comes in the name of the Lord!    Peace in heaven, and glory in highest heaven!” 39 But some of the Pharisees among the crowd said, “Teacher, rebuke your followers for saying things like that!” 40 He replied, “If they kept quiet, the stones along the road would burst into cheers!”
 
•Jesus enters your life because He wants to (v. 28).
•Jesus enters your life with His plans (v. 29-31).
•Jesus enters your life using His followers to reach you (v. 29).
•Jesus enters your life bringing miracles (v. 37).
•Jesus enters your life bringing peace (v. 38).

NWLA Church | Surrender

Matthew 16:24-25
24 Then Jesus told his disciples, “If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me. 25 For whoever would save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will find it. 
 
To surrender is to observe, submit and follow the leadership and Lordship of Jesus over your life. 
 
“If not to God, you will surrender to the opinions or expectations of others, to money, to resentment, to fear, or to your own pride, lusts, or ego. You were designed to worship God and if you fail to worship Him, you will create other things (idols) to give your life to. You are free to choose, what you surrender to but you are not free from the consequence of that choice.” 
― Rick Warren
 
Surrendering is a consistent daily practice. 
Our sinful nature always tries to take the lead. 
This is why surrendering to God is important. 
To Surrender is to embrace Christ. 
 
“He who began a good work in you, will carry it through…”

NWLA Church | Breaker series Finale

Once you realize who He really is. There’s no way that your treasures or your valuables or your idols or your earthly goals are still more important. 
“If Christ is not all to you He is nothing to you. He will never go into partnership as a part Saviour of men. If He be something He must be everything, and if He be not everything He is nothing to you.” ― Charles Spurgeon
 
Mark 14:3-93 And while he was at Bethany in the house of Simon the leper, as he was reclining at table, a woman came with an alabaster flask of ointment of pure nard, very costly, and she broke the flask and poured it over his head. 4 There were some who said to themselves indignantly, “Why was the ointment wasted like that? 5 For this ointment could have been sold for more than three hundred denarii[b] and given to the poor.” And they scolded her. 6 But Jesus said, “Leave her alone. Why do you trouble her? She has done a beautiful thing to me. 7 For you always have the poor with you, and whenever you want, you can do good for them. But you will not always have me. 8 She has done what she could; she has anointed my body beforehand for burial. 9 And truly, I say to you, wherever the gospel is proclaimed in the whole world, what she has done will be told in memory of her.”
 
“He who began a good work in you, will carry it through…”

Battles happen daily. Wars can last a long time. Truth is a mirror not a microscope.
Matthew 7:3-5 3 And why do you look at the speck in your brother’s eye, but do not consider the plank in your own eye? 4 Or how can you say to your brother, ‘Let me remove the speck from your eye’; and look, a plank is in your own eye? 5 Hypocrite! First remove the plank from your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye.
Truth is evident in your life when you can see your flaws and failures long before someone else’s.2 Corinthians 13:5 5 Examine yourselves as to whether you are in the faith. Test yourselves. Do you not know yourselves, that Jesus Christ is in you?—unless indeed you are disqualified.
“He who began a good work in you, will carry it through…”

NWLA Church | Quotidian pt.3

Francis Frangipane the author of the book "the three battlegrounds" said : “You will remember that the location where Jesus was crucified was called “Golgotha,” which meant “ place of the skull.” …the first field of conflict where we must learn warfare is the battle ground of the mind; i.e., the “place of the skull.” For the territory of the uncrucified thought-life is the beachhead of satanic assault in our lives. …We must be crucified in the place of the skull. We must be renewed in the spirit of our minds!” Ephesians 4:17-24 17 This I say, therefore, and testify in the Lord, that you should no longer walk as the rest of[d] the Gentiles walk, in the futility of their mind, 18 having their understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God, because of the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of their heart; 19 who, being past feeling, have given themselves over to lewdness, to work all uncleanness with greediness. 20 But you have not so learned Christ, 21 if indeed you have heard Him and have been taught by Him, as the truth is in Jesus: 22 that you put off, concerning your former conduct, the old man which grows corrupt according to the deceitful lusts, 23 and be renewed in the spirit of your mind, 24 and that you put on the new man which was created according to God, in true righteousness and holiness. There is a definite connection that I don’t have to stretch far to understand between belief and living as such. You live the way you believe. It is in the decisions we make everyday that dictate us living in victory or defeat. #christianliving #christianity #churchplantinla #nwlachurch #newwavela #losangeles #christiansinlosangeles

NWLA Church | Quotidian pt. 2

Our homes are not places to be absent from the conviction of the Holy Spirit. Rather, if we allow the Holy Spirit to convict us and lead us and teach us in our own home we create the ease of hearing this conviction in our daily life.
Matthew 6:9-13 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.
 
“He who began a good work in you, will carry it through…”

NWLA Church | Quotidian

We are faced daily with questions concerning our positions or stances on many different issues. How are we supposed to act justly? When everyone around is doing all they can to cheat?How am I supposed to be kind when I get so angry? And they’re angry at me?How am I supposed to be humble when everyone is so prideful around us? When humility is taken as inability or weakness?Matthew 6:9-13Pray 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.John 6:32-3532 Jesus then said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, it was not Moses who gave you the bread from heaven, but my Father gives you the true bread from heaven. 33 For the bread of God is he who comes down from heaven and gives life to the world.” 34 They said to him, “Sir, give us this bread always.”35 Jesus said to them, “I am the bread of life; whoever comes to me shall not hunger, and whoever believes in me shall never thirstMicah 6:6-7 MSGHow can I stand up before Godand show proper respect to the high God?Should I bring an armload of offeringstopped off with yearling calves?Would God be impressed with thousands of rams,with buckets and barrels of olive oil?Would he be moved if I sacrificed my firstborn child,my precious baby, to cancel my sin?MSGMicah 6:8But he’s already made it plain how to live, what to do,what God is looking for in men and women.It’s quite simple: Do what is fair and just to your neighbor,be compassionate and loyal in your love,And don’t take yourself too seriously—take God seriously.

NWLA Church | FORWARD - Action

Luke 15:3-7 ESV 3 So he told them this parable: 4 “What man of you, having a hundred sheep, if he has lost one of them, does not leave the ninety-nine in the open country, and go after the one that is lost, until he finds it? 5 And when he has found it, he lays it on his shoulders, rejoicing. 6 And when he comes home, he calls together his friends and his neighbors, saying to them, ‘Rejoice with me, for I have found my sheep that was lost.’ 7 Just so, I tell you, there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who need no repentance.
 
A Church filled with people serving Jesus is good.
A Church filled with sinners repenting is Better.
