The noble make noble plans, and by noble deeds they stand (Isaiah 32:3-8)

 Alpha tonight. Delighted to see Rolando, remember Skyler, Stacy, AJ

Glad to welcome back Liam and Marcus from last week and Jacob from Saturday.

Glad to meet Josh, Gary, and Michael - Gary left early, before our video on faith. My question on what is different about humans from any other living thing had interesting dialog. 

Hebrews 11:1-3,6

Faith shows the reality of what we hope for; it is the evidence of things we cannot see. Through their faith, the people in days of old earned a good reputation.

By faith we understand that the entire universe was formed at God’s command, that what we now see did not come from anything that can be seen...

And it is impossible to please God without faith. Anyone who wants to come to him must believe that God exists and that he rewards those who sincerely seek him.

Thinking of deliverance and ministry. Praise our God for he is good.

Anyone who looks will see,

    anyone who listens will hear.

The impulsive will make sound decisions,

    the tongue-tied will speak with eloquence.

No more will fools become celebrities,

    nor crooks be rewarded with fame.

For fools are fools and that’s that,

    thinking up new ways to do mischief.

They leave a wake of wrecked lives

    and lies about God,

Turning their backs on the homeless hungry,

    ignoring those dying of thirst in the streets.

And the crooks? Underhanded sneaks they are,

    inventive in sin and scandal,

Exploiting the poor with scams and lies,

    unmoved by the victimized poor.

But those who are noble make noble plans,

    and stand for what is noble.
