"Failure is not an option!" We'll forgive the writers of the movie Apollo 13 for "punching up" the dialog of the actual mission. They caught the sentiment in NASA's command center during that crisis. How is the Apollo 13 explosion like your day at work? As we'll see today, it's all about the resources. They're greater than just what you brought with you. And Mission Control is fully committed to your well-being. Here's Jim with Part 2 of, He is Able to Make My Thorn His Crown.

Let's work outside the box! Maybe it was the industrial revolution that drove a wedge between "work," and everything else. Today we talk about "employment," and our "occupation," but hardly ever about "vocation." We've even popularized the phrase, "work/life balance," as if those were separate, maybe opposite, things! Jim concludes the He is Able series with a sermon about our 9-to-5.

He is Able to Make You Able. Our Father is so strong that He can lend His strength to us, and lose nothing of His own. Yesterday we began exploring that idea, as set forth by Paul in his letter to the Philippians. But it's more than an idea, isn't it? This is where the theological construct of Omnipotence meets the hard problems of our real lives. God being "able" is well-and-good; now how do I pay the bills, or deal with that difficult person?

Our abilities are what they are. Or are they? Most of us are painfully aware of our limitations. Our talents and skills look small, compared to the challenges we face. But in Philippians, chapter 4, Paul seems to say that our abilities are not the only abilities available to us. He had learned some things, including something he calls a "secret," that lifted him out of the smallness of himself. Here's Jim with the message, He is Able to Make You Able.

The God who moves the stars and the planets is working in you! As we closed the broadcast week last Friday we read from Ephesians 3, and tried to comprehend the incomprehensible. It isn't just the ability of God that's beyond our understanding; His greatness is matched by His goodness. This realization - to the extent that we can grasp it - will build our faith. So let's get back into the message, He is Able to Do the Impossible.

We'd like to propose a new definition of God. The old descriptions of God still work fine, of course: the Self-Existent One, the Creator, the Ultimate Authority. But we can think of Him another way: God is the only being who has no limitations. He has no weaknesses, no inabilities, no deficiencies. If we were to really grasp that, what might happen to our prayer life? It certainly energized Paul's prayers, as we'll see today.

Are you worried about falling from grace? God has some promises for you. In our He is Able series we come to a very important ability of Jesus: He is able to keep you from falling. It's a gem we find tucked away in the bottom-right corner of the letter of Jude. And if you know Jude, you know he doesn't sugar-coat things! He says that there are false teachers in the church - sons of the Adversary who would very much like to see us stumble. So we'll all need this truth.

On this test, you're allowed to get help! When we were in school there was no kidding around at exam time. You'd better have a couple of sharp #2 pencils. No talking. No peeking. And no crib notes (that the teacher could see)! But on the much more serious tests of life, God encourages us to not only open the Book, but to ask for help from the One who got a perfect score. We're back in 1 Corinthians 10 for Part 2 of, He is Able to Take You Through the Tests.

If this is a pop quiz, what's the subject? In His school, Jesus still believes in tests. We may call them trials, temptations, or tribulations. They will come unannounced. But the Teacher will help us through them. Well, what is the purpose of these challenges? What mastery are we hoping to demonstrate? Jim will help us understand God's purpose in allowing temptations in our lives. Here's Part 1 of, He is Able to Take You Through the Tests.

What's so "great" about having a great high priest? Jesus is not just our priest, or even our high priest, but our great high priest. His ministry is "large," "superior," "boundless." And on Friday we began to look at 4 dimensions of His greatness. The first, Jim said, is that this Mediator has "passed through the heavens" to deal decisively with our sin, in the very presence of God. Let's continue now, from Hebrews 4:14.
