Mark6:3 KJV Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary, the brother of James, and Joses, and of Juda, and Simon? and are not his sisters here with us? And they were offended at him.
The prosperity gospel must have received different orders.
Mark6:7 KJV And he called unto him the twelve, and began to send them forth by two and two; and gave them power over unclean spirits;

Yet, for some reason, there are preachers today who mock the preaching of repentance.
Mark6:12 KJV And they went out, and preached that men should repent.

There is a time to be with the people and a time to be alone.

Apathy results from failing to praise God for His continual goodness and miraculous interventions in our lives. Remember the loaves, and you will not forget the walking on water.
Mark6:48 KJV And he saw them toiling in rowing; for the wind was contrary unto them: and about the fourth watch of the night he cometh unto them, walking upon the sea, and would have passed by them.
Mark 6:49 KJV But when they saw him walking upon the sea, they supposed it had been a spirit, and cried out:
Mark 6:50 KJV For they all saw him, and were troubled. And immediately he talked with them, and saith unto them, Be of good cheer: it is I; be not afraid.

Genesis34:28 KJV They took their sheep, and their oxen, and their asses, and that which was in the city, and that which was in the field,
Genesis 34:29 KJV And all their wealth, and all their little ones, and their wives took they captive, and spoiled even all that was in the house.
Genesis 34:30 KJV And Jacob said to Simeon and Levi, Ye have troubled me to make me to stink among the inhabitants of the land, among the Canaanites and the Perizzites: and I being few in number, they shall gather themselves together against me, and slay me; and I shall be destroyed, I and my house.
Genesis 34:31 KJV And they said, Should he deal with our sister as with an harlot?
Job knew Jesus Christ, for we are made perfect through Him.
Job1:1 KJV There was a man in the land of Uz, whose name was Job; and that man was perfect and upright, and one that feared God, and eschewed evil.
There is no guarantee that our children will not continue in sin and curse God. However, we can continually pray for them.
Job1:5 KJV And it was so, when the days of their feasting were gone about, that Job sent and sanctified them, and rose up early in the morning, and offered burnt offerings according to the number of them all: for Job said, It may be that my sons have sinned, and cursed God in their hearts. Thus did Job continually.
God, the supreme Elohim, reigns over all elohim, the divine sons of God. As the Son of God, Jesus Christ holds sovereignty over these divine beings. In contrast, Satan, once a majestic archangel, is an elohim being who has fallen. The full extent and majesty of these elohim beings, who are privileged to appear before the Lord, remains somewhat of a divine mystery.
Job1:6 KJV Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan came also among them.
Satan's power is derived solely from the authority the LORD chooses to grant him. Though Satan uses this power for malevolent purposes, God sovereignly allows it to ultimately serve a greater good.

Genesis 50:20 KJV But as for you, ye thought evil against me; but God meant it unto good, to bring to pass, as it is this day, to save much people alive.
Tragedy can strike at any moment, for it is only a door knock away. But amidst the heartache, remember that God is sovereign over all. Though His plans may involve pain and suffering in this life, they are always purposeful and redemptive, to be fully understood only in eternity.
Job1:20 KJV Then Job arose, and rent his mantle, and shaved his head, and fell down upon the ground, and worshipped,
Job 1:21 KJV And said, Naked came I out of my mother's womb, and naked shall I return thither: the LORD gave, and the LORD hath taken away; blessed be the name of the LORD.
Job 1:22 KJV In all this Job sinned not, nor charged God foolishly.
Father, we praise you for your perfect nature, unmatched and unrivaled. May we strive to walk in the perfection you've set before us, bringing honor and glory to your name. In Jesus' name, Amen.
