(BOND YouTube Premiere 4 PM PDT, Wednesday, March 17, 2021; audio podcast will be available via links below) 

BOND Sunday Service, June 13, 2010: Jesse Lee Peterson talks with the people about dealing with thoughts. We read Hebrews 4: 12-13 about the word of God being sharper than any two-edged sword, and that nothing is hidden from Him. People emailing our Church as well as talking in the meeting discuss how to live practically in observation versus in thoughts. 

CLIP: The Word of God Is Alive and Active (8 mins)

Jesse references Hebrews 4: 12-13, which says the word of God is alive and active. You should speak the truth without any anger or resentment. Some people repeat true things from the Bible or from preachers, but without power behind it — they don’t know it or live it for themselves. What went wrong with “religion” that people turn it into a club to join, in which you own it and force rules on others? You should be of the Spirit.

CLIP: How Do You Determine Positive Thoughts from Wrong Ones? (12 mins)

Jesse reads an email asking about observing rather than thinking in life. If we’re to be an observer, not judging thoughts, how do we interpret our needs? How do you distinguish between constructive and destructive thoughts?

CLIP: How Do You Deal with Injustice? (11 mins)

Jesse takes a question from a lady about seeing injustice, destruction and decline in the country. You see it, but do not make a decision about it, don’t judge it. You have to be shown right and wrong. Jesse then tells a story of confronting a local black politician Mark Ridley Thomas who threatened Jesse as Jesse yelled at him over a cowardly lie.
