Scriptures:

Philippians 2:1-11

            If you have any encouragement from being united with Christ, if any comfort from his love, if any fellowship with the Spirit, if any tenderness and compassion, then make my joy complete by being like-minded, having the same love, being one in spirit and purpose. Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, but in humility consider others better than yourselves. Each of you should look not only to your own interests, but also to the interests of others.

            Your attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus: Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be grasped, but made himself nothing, taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness. And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself and became obedient to death—  even death on a cross! Therefore God exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

Proverbs 17:22

A cheerful heart is good medicine, but a crushed spirit dries up the bones.

Romans 7:19

For what I do is not the good I want to do; no, the evil I do not want to do—this I keep on doing.

Proverbs 14:22

Do not those who plot evil go astray? But those who plan what is good find love and faithfulness.

Proverbs 16:3

Commit to the LORD whatever you do, and your plans will succeed.

Jeremiah 32:27

“I am the LORD, the God of all mankind. Is anything too hard for me?”

Matthew 21:22

“If you believe, you will receive whatever you ask for in prayer.”

Proverbs 27:17

As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another.

Scriptures:

Proverbs 1:1-7

The proverbs of Solomon son of David, king of Israel:

for attaining wisdom and discipline; for understanding words of insight; for acquiring a disciplined and prudent life, doing what is right and just and fair; for giving prudence to the simple, knowledge and discretion to the young— let the wise listen and add to their learning, and let the discerning get guidance—  for understanding proverbs and parables, the sayings and riddles of the wise.

The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and discipline.

Proverbs 20:4

A sluggard does not plow in season, so at harvest time he looks but finds nothing.

Proverbs 28:19

…he who works his land will have abundant food, but one who chases fantasies will have his fill of poverty.

Proverbs 2:9-10

Then you will understand what is right and just and fair - every good path, for wisdom will enter your heart, and knowledge will be pleasant to your soul.

Proverbs 22:15

Folly is bound up in the heart of a child, and the rod of discipline will drive it far from him.

Proverbs 6:27

Can a man scoop fire into his lap without his clothes being burned?

Proverbs 16:20

Whoever gives heed to instruction prospers, and blessed is he who trusts in the Lord.

Proverbs 19:21

Many are the plans in a man’s heart, but it is the Lord’s purpose that prevails.

Fire and Water

Scriptures:

John 7:37-39

On the last and greatest day of the Feast, Jesus stood and said in a loud voice, “If anyone is thirsty, let him come to me and drink. Whoever believes in me, as the Scripture has said, streams of living water will flow from within him.” By this he meant the Spirit, whom those who believed in him were later to receive. Up to that time the Spirit had not been given, since Jesus had not yet been glorified. .

Acts 2:1-13

            When the day of Pentecost came, they were all together in one place. Suddenly a sound like the blowing of a violent wind came from heaven and filled the whole house where they were sitting. They saw what seemed to be tongues of fire that separated and came to rest on each of them. All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit enabled them.

            Now there were staying in Jerusalem God-fearing Jews from every nation under heaven. When they heard this sound, a crowd came together in bewilderment, because each one heard them speaking in his own language. Utterly amazed, they asked: “Are not all these men who are speaking Galileans? Then how is it that each of us hears them in his own native language? Parthians, Medes and Elamites; residents of Mesopotamia, Judea and Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia, Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt and the parts of Libya near Cyrene; visitors from Rome (both Jews and converts to Judaism); Cretans and Arabs—we hear them declaring the wonders of God in our own tongues!” Amazed and perplexed, they asked one another, “What does this mean?”

            Some, however, made fun of them and said, “They have had too much wine.”
