Satan's immaculate deception is that we send some people into full-time ministry and others

are spectator Christians. It's a lie from the pit. We're all full-time servants of the king.

We are. If you're a nurse, then you're a partner with God in helping to restore his people to health and to alleviate their discomfort. If you're a teacher, then you're a partner with God in helping to restore his people to health

and to alleviate their discomfort. If you're a teacher, then you're a partner with God in developing

his children so that they grow intellectually. Whatever the assignment, you're performing a task,

not just to draw a paycheck or to please your employer, but to serve God and your fellow man.

There's a dignity in work.

Now it's on to Pastor Allen. Be blessed.

I want to continue a study we've been working on for two or three sessions under this general

theme of God's plan and God's promises and God's people. And I believe they're very related.

I believe God has a plan not only for his kingdom in the earth, for his church in the earth,

but I believe he has a plan for his people.

That the goal in our lives isn't just to be born again, experience a new birth or conversion,

so we can have a different kind of eternity.

I think the purpose of that new birth into the kingdom is that we can be effective ambassadors

for God in our journey through time,

which means he has a plan and a purpose for our lives beyond just eternity.

I think we can imagine that more clearly with the Jewish people.

The Hebrew Bible, the Old Testament, there's a significant focus on that that God God intended to give them a particular piece of property, a promised land right at the end of the Mediterranean.
