Who will roll away the stone?
(Romans 15:13) May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.
(Mark 16:1-3) When the Sabbath was over, Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James, and Salome bought spices so that they might go to anoint Jesus’ body. Very early on the first day of the week, just after sunrise, they were on their way to the tomb and they asked each other, “Who will roll the stone away from the entrance of the tomb?”
1. The resurrection gives us hope for what
(Mark 16:4-6) 4 But when they looked up, they saw that the stone, which was very large, had been rolled away. 5 As they entered the tomb, they saw a young man dressed in a white robe sitting on the right side, and they were alarmed. 6 “Don’t be alarmed,” he said. “You are looking for Jesus the Nazarene, who was crucified. He has risen! He is not here. See the place where they laid him.
The resurrection of Jesus means your past failure doesn’t have to define your future.
(2 Corinthians 5:17) Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!
The gospel : I was struggling and Jesus helped me out
The gospel : I was dead in my sins and he brought me back to life
2. The resurrection gives us hope for what
(John 11:5-6) Now Jesus loved Martha and her sister and Lazarus. So when he heard that Lazarus was sick, he stayed where he was two more days
(John 11:21) “Lord,” Martha said to Jesus, “if you had been here, my brother would not have died.
(John 11:33-34) 34 “Where have you laid him?” he asked.“Come and see, Lord,” they replied. 35 Jesus wept.
(John 11:40) Then Jesus said, “Did I not tell you that if you believe, you will see the glory of God?”
(John 11:44) The dead man came out, his hands and feet wrapped with strips of linen, and a cloth around his face. Jesus said to them, “Take off the grave clothes and let him go.”
3. The resurrection gives us hope for
(Mark 16:6-7) “Don’t be alarmed,” he said. “You are looking for Jesus the Nazarene, who was crucified. He has risen! He is not here. See the place where they laid him. But go, tell his disciples and Peter, ‘He is going ahead of you into Galilee. There you will see him, just as he told you.’”
(Romans 6:23) For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Built to Last
(Matthew 7:24-27) 24 “Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock. 25 The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock. 26 But everyone who hears these words of mine and does not put them into practice is like a foolish man who built his house on sand. 27 The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell with a great crash.”
(Proverbs 10:8) The wise are glad to be instructed, but babbling fools fall flat on their faces.
1. Hearing doesn’t transform us… does
(James 1:22) Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says.
2. Your is revealed in the storm
A life built on convenience will collapse under pressure.
(Matthew 6:19-21) “Don’t store up treasures here on earth, where moths eat them and rust destroys them, and where thieves break in and steal. 20 Store your treasures in heaven, where moths and rust cannot destroy, and thieves do not break in and steal. 21 Wherever your treasure is, there the desires of your heart will also be.
3. is what makes your life stand

The Hidden Treasure
A is a story that Jesus would tell to help people see spiritual truth through everyday life.
(Matthew 13:44) The kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field. When a man found it, he hid it again, and then in his joy went and sold all he had and bought that field.
Kingdom = King + Dominion
👉 Where the King rules and reigns
They expected:
- A political king
- Earthly power
Jesus brought:
- A spiritual kingdom
- A new way of life
Traditional View
The Field =
The Man =
The Treasure =
👉 “Give everything to gain Him”
But what if…
The Field =
The Man =
The Treasure =
👉 “He gives everything for you”
You are His treasure.
(1 Peter 1:18-19) Not with gold or silver…
but with the precious blood of Christ
He gave everything for you
👉 Not to earn His love
👉 But because you already have it
(Matthew 13:44) The kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field. When a man found it, he hid it again, and then in his joy went and sold all he had and bought that field.

Same Seed, Different Soil
(Mark 4:2-9) He taught them many things by parables, and in his teaching said: 3 “Listen! A farmer went out to sow his seed. 4 As he was scattering the seed, some fell along the path, and the birds came and ate it up. 5 Some fell on rocky places, where it did not have much soil. It sprang up quickly, because the soil was shallow. 6 But when the sun came up, the plants were scorched, and they withered because they had no root. 7 Other seed fell among thorns, which grew up and choked the plants, so that they did not bear grain. 8 Still other seed fell on good soil. It came up, grew and produced a crop, some multiplying thirty, some sixty, some a hundred times.” 9 Then Jesus said, “Whoever has ears to hear, let them hear.”
(2 Timothy 3:16-17) All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, 17 so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.
(Psalm 119:89) Your word, LORD, is eternal; it stands firm in the heavens.
(Proverbs 4:23) Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it.
What we allow in our hearts will become the fruit of our lives.
(Mark 4:4) As he was scattering the seed, some fell along the path, and the birds came and ate it up.
1. The hardened heart
The remedy for a hardened heart: repentance
(Ezekiel 36:26-27) I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you; I will remove from you your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh and I will put my Spirit in you and move you to follow my decrees and be careful to keep my laws.
2. The shallow heart
(Mark 4:5-6) Some fell on rocky places, where it did not have much soil. It sprang up quickly, because the soil was shallow. 6 But when the sun came up, the plants were scorched, and they withered because they had no root
The remedy for a shallow heart is: discipleship
3. The crowded heart
(Mark 4:18-19) Still others, like seed sown among thorns, hear the word; but the worries of this life, the deceitfulness of wealth and the desires for other things come in and choke the word, making it unfruitful.
The remedy for a crowded heart: serving
(Mark 10:45) For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.”
4. The fertile heart
(Mark 4:20) the seed that fell on good soil represents those who hear and accept God’s word and produce a harvest of thirty, sixty, or even a hundred times as much as had been planted!”
The quality of your heart determines the quality of your harvest.
(Psalm 51:10) Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me.
(Jeremiah 17:7-8) “blessed is the one who trusts in the LORD, whose confidence is in him. They will be like a tree planted by the water that sends out its roots by the stream. It does not fear when heat comes; its leaves are always green. It has no worries in a year of drought and never fails to bear fruit.”
(Psalm 1:2-3) Blessed is the one…whose delight is in the law of the LORD, and who meditates on his law day and night. That person is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither—whatever they do prospers.

LET GO AND LIVE FREE
(Matthew 13:12-13) To those who listen to my teaching, more understanding will be given, and they will have an abundance of knowledge. But for those who are not listening, even what little understanding they have will be taken away from them. That is why I use these parables
(Matthew 18:21-22) 21 Then Peter came to Jesus and asked, “Lord, how many times shall I forgive my brother or sister who sins against me? Up to seven times?” 22 Jesus answered, “I tell you, not seven times, but seventy-seven times.
(Matthew 18:23-24) “Therefore, the kingdom of heaven is like a king who wanted to settle accounts with his servants. 24 As he began the settlement, a man who owed him ten thousand bags of gold was brought to him.
1 talent = 20 years
10,000 talentS = 200,000 years
(Matthew 18:25-26) 25 Since he was not able to pay, the master ordered that he and his wife and his children and all that he had be sold to repay the debt. 26 “At this the servant fell on his knees before him. ‘Be patient with me,’ he begged, ‘and I will pay back everything.’ 27 The servant’s master took pity on him, canceled the debt and let him go.
1. Forgiveness is not minimizing the offense
2. Forgiveness is not forgetting what happened
3. Forgiveness is not reconciliation
(Matthew 6:12) And forgive us our debts, As we forgive our debtors.
(Matthew 18:28-35) 28 “But when that servant went out, he found one of his fellow servants who owed him a hundred silver coins.He grabbed him and began to choke him. ‘Pay back what you owe me!’ he demanded. 29 “His fellow servant fell to his knees and begged him, ‘Be patient with me, and I will pay it back.’ 30 “But he refused. Instead, he went off and had the man thrown into prison until he could pay the debt. 31 When the other servants saw what had happened, they were outraged and went and told their master everything that had happened. 32 “Then the master called the servant in. ‘You wicked servant,’ he said, ‘I canceled all that debt of yours because you begged me to. 33 Shouldn’t you have had mercy on your fellow servant just as I had on you?’ 34 In anger his master handed him over to the jailers to be tortured, until he should pay back all he owed. 35 “This is how my heavenly Father will treat each of you unless you forgive your brother or sister from your heart.”
Forgiven people, Forgive people
(Ephesians 4:32) Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.
(Colossians 3:13) Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you.
The path of forgiveness:
1. Recognize
2. Remember
3. Release

More Than a Feeling
(Genesis 2:20-24) Then the Lord God said, “It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper who is just right for him.” 21 So the Lord God caused the man to fall into a deep sleep. While the man slept, the Lord God took out one of the man’s ribs and closed up the opening. 22 Then the Lord God made a woman from the rib, and he brought her to the man. 23 “At last!” the man exclaimed.“This one is bone from my bone, and flesh from my flesh! She will be called ‘woman,’ because she was taken from ‘man.’” 24 This explains why a man leaves his father and mother and is joined to his wife, and the two are united into one.
1. Chemistry Starts a Relationship but it
2. Love Calls You Higher
(1 Corinthians 13:4-7 NLT) 4 Love is patient and kind. Love is not jealous or boastful or proud 5 or rude. It does not demand its own way. It is not irritable, and it keeps no record of being wronged. 6 It does not rejoice about injustice but rejoices whenever the truth wins out. 7 Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance.
Healthy love requires alignment:
- Spiritual direction
- Core values
- Life calling
3. The Goal Isn’t Finding the Right Person, It’s Becoming the Right Person
4. Love That Lasts Is Built on
Covenant love is sustained by:
- Unified faith
- Forgiving quickly
- Choosing humility
- Staying connected to God

Stronger Than Before
1. God’s Grace Is Than Your
(Judges 16:23 – 25) 23 Now the rulers of the Philistines assembled to offer a great sacrifice to Dagon their god and to celebrate, saying, “Our god has delivered Samson, our enemy, into our hands.” 24 When the people saw him, they praised their god, saying, “Our god has delivered our enemy into our hands, the one who laid waste our land and multiplied our slain.” 25 While they were in high spirits, they shouted, “Bring out Samson to entertain us.” So they called Samson out of the prison, and he performed for them.
“Failure is an event, not a person”
- God still works with broken people
- Redemption begins the moment you turn back to Him
2. God You Before He Uses You
(Judges 16:22) “But the hair on his head began to grow again.”
- God restores strength before He restores victory
- Hair grew back before walls came down
- Healing and growth happen in hidden seasons
3. You cannot change your , but God can change your
- God can rebuild what sin and poor choices destroyed
- Surrender to God leads to freedom and strength again.
- You may feel broken, but in God’s hands you can become stronger than before.

Red Flags Don’t Turn Green
(Judges 16:4) Some time later, he fell in love with a woman in the Valley of Sorek whose name was Delilah.
1. doesn’t equal alignment
3 ways to be aligned:
- Spiritually
- Values
- Life Direction
(Judges 16:5-7) The rulers of the Philistines went to her and said, “See if you can lure him into showing you the secret of his great strength and how we can overpower him so we may tie him up and subdue him. Each one of us will give you eleven hundred shekels of silver.” 6 So Delilah said to Samson, “Tell me the secret of your great strength and how you can be tied up and subdued.” 7 Samson answered her, “If anyone ties me with seven fresh bowstrings that have not been dried, I’ll become as weak as any other man.”
Red Flags:
- Dishonesty
- Manipulation
2. Compromise always than you think
(Judges 16:13-14) “If you weave the seven braids of my head into the fabric on the loom and tighten it with the pin, I’ll become as weak as any other man.” So while he was sleeping, Delilah took the seven braids of his head, wove them into the fabric 14 and tightened it with the pin. Again she called to him, “Samson, the Philistines are upon you!” He awoke from his sleep and pulled up the pin and the loom, with the fabric.
(Judges 16:15-16) Then she said to him, “How can you say, ‘I love you,’ when you won’t confide in me? This is the third time you have made a fool of me and haven’t told me the secret of your great strength.” 16 With such nagging she prodded him day after day until he was sick to death of it.
Red flags:
- Pressure to compromise
- Emotional manipulation
3. Relationships should , not destroy it
Red Flags:
- Isolation away from family
- Isolation from the people of God
(Proverbs 15:22) Plans fail for lack of counsel, but with many advisers they succeed.
(Proverbs 19:20) Listen to advice and accept discipline, and at the end you will be counted among the wise.
Judges 16:19
After putting him to sleep on her lap, she called for someone to shave off the seven braids of his hair, and so began to subdue him. And his strength left him.
(Judges 16:20) Then she called, “Samson, the Philistines are upon you!” He awoke from his sleep and thought, “I’ll go out as before and shake myself free.” But he did not know that the LORD had left him.

Looking For Love: Finding God’s Design for Love and Relationships
Chosen But Still Searching
(Judges 13:3-5) The angel of the LORD APPEARED to her and said, “You are barren and childless, but you are going to become pregnant and give birth to a son. 4 Now see to it that you drink no wine or other fermented drink and that you do not eat anything unclean.5 You will become pregnant and have a son whose head is never to be touched by a razor because the boy is to be a Nazirite, dedicated to God from the womb. He will take the lead in delivering Israel from the hands of the Philistines.”
(Judges 13:24-25) The woman gave birth to a boy and named him Samson. He grew and the LORD blessed him, and the Spirit of the LORD began to stir him..
The wrong relationships don’t just break your heart, they break your destiny.
1. His calling was established his relationships
(Colossians 2:10) you are complete in Him, who is the head of all principality and power.
When you are in Christ:
- You don’t have to prove yourself
- You don’t have to chase validation
- You don’t have to add something to your life to be accepted
2. When Identity Is , Desires Get Loud
(Judges 14:1-3) Samson went down to Timnah and saw a young Philistine woman. When he returned, he said to his father and mother, “I have seen a Philistine woman in Timnah; now get her for me as my wife.” 3 His father and mother replied, “Isn’t there an acceptable woman among your relatives or among all our people? Must you go to the uncircumcisedPhilistines to get a wife?” But Samson said to his father, “Get her for me. She’s the right one for me.”
3 attitudes that make strong men, weak:
Lust: “I see it, I want it”
Entitlement- “I deserve it”
Pride- “I can handle it”
(1 John 2:16) For everything in the world—the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life—comes not from the Father but from the world.
3 attitudes that make weak men, strong:
Self control
Contentment
Humility
3. Love someone we find, someone we know
(1 John 4:7-9) Beloved, let us love one another, for love is of God; and everyone who loves is born of God and knows God. 8 He who does not love does not know God, for God is love. 9 In this, the love of God was manifested toward us, that God has sent His only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through Him.
(John 3:16) For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.

When You Hit A Wall
(Philippians 3:13-14) Brothers and sisters, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, 14 I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.
(Joshua 6:1-2) Now the gates of Jericho were tightly shut because the people were afraid of the Israelites. No one was allowed to go out or in. 2 But the LORD SAID to Joshua, “I have given you Jericho, its king, and all its strong warriors.
1. for God’s voice
(John 10:27) My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me.
(Joshua 6:8) “After Joshua spoke to the people, the seven priests with the rams’ horns started marching in the presence of the Lord, blowing the horns as they marched. And the Ark of the Lord’s Covenant followed behind them.”
(Psalm 119:11) Your word I have hidden in my heart, That I might not sin against You.
2. Don’t hit the wall
3. Get in God’s
(Psalm 16:11) You will show me the path of life; In Your presence is fullness of joy; At Your right hand are pleasures forevermore.
(James 4:8) Come near to God and he will come near to you…
(Matthew 18:20) For where two or three gather in my name, there am I with them.”
(Joshua 6:10-11) “Do not shout; do not even talk,” Joshua commanded. “Not a single word from any of you until I tell you to shout. Then shout!” 11 So the Ark of the LORD was carried around the town once that day, and then everyone returned to spend the night in the camp.
4. Watch
Thoughts influence our words, our words influence our actions, our actions influence our habits, and our habits become the legacy we leave behind.
5. brings the breakthrough
