Spiritual Blacksmiths
The Art Of Shaping Spiritual Environments
Pastor Steve Lummer

“There were no blacksmiths in the land of Israel in those days. The Philistines wouldn’t allow them for fear they would make swords and spears for the Hebrews…none of the people of Israel had a sword or spear, except for Saul and Jonathan” (1Sa 13:19-22 NLT).

CULTURE – WE CRAFT IT, FRAME IT DESIGN IT ..WE DEFINE IT ….WE LIVE WITH IT!

2. HE HOLDS YOU SO YOU CAN HOLD IT TOGETHER.
Hebrews 1:3 He holds everything together
Matthew 14:30 But when he saw the wind boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink, he cried, saying, Lord, save me.

He holds you UP . He holds you BACK .He holds you TOGETHER .

when you are stressed out, when you are burned out, when you are wiped out.

3. HE COMPLETES YOU TO COMPLETE THE PICTURE.
Hebrews 1:3 He holds everything together by what he says—powerful words! (the message)
Philippians 1:6 being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus. (niv)
