Know Your Enemy (His Tactics), Know Your Gear (Be Ready), Know Your Commander (Communication is the Lifeline)
It’s easy to trust God when everything is going well. But it’s an entirely different story when things are going everything but well.
True and Proper Worship Is a natural response, if you get it. True and Proper worship = me on the altar. The world is trying to beat you into its mold. Professors fired if not evolutionists. “The science says…” as if it is all consistent. Now name calling and shaming are common place. Freedom of thought and speech are being challenged. God’s Word transforms your thinking.
The Basics of Transformation It’s not all about me. Let’s be honest, we all tend to think we’re all that. The point of my existence is to be part of something bigger than me. When we find our function, we are to serve whole heartedly.
True Worshippers Are responding to God’s Mercy. By putting ourselves on the altar. Loving the good, hating the false. Humbly seeking to do our part. Willing to love selflessly. (really hard)
The Fear of God is… The beginning of wisdom. Keeps you from “stupid.” Causes us to think first. Our reverence for God is expressed in how we treat people.
Who The Bible Says to Honor Your Parents Government authorities God is the source of all authority. He established it. They maintain order. We contribute to the public good. We are diligent to pay, respect and honor Your spiritual leadership
Honor in Church We live a life of honoring others. We have some excellent examples among us. Respect that. Honor those who live a life of service. Honoring others says a lot about you.
“Honorable people honor people.”
Developing Spiritual Strength I will never be spiritually strong using my own resources. We need to look past people into the Spiritual. We don’t fear evil. (The enemy uses intimidation) We don’t compromise truth, righteousness or The Gospel. We follow the Holy Spirit in prayer.
Our Minds Operate from Three Parts Our Soul: is made up of our will, thoughts and emotions. Our Flesh: Our urges, desires and appetites, pride, rebellion etc. (Selfish) Spirit: The part of us that relates to and desires a close relationship with God.
The Flesh Governed Mindset This mindset results in death. Is set on self interest. All about seeking pleasure. Avoids discomfort or sacrifice. Is very interested in control. Retaliates with anger or revenge. Is hostile to God (Battle for control)
Spirit Filled Mindset Gives you power to overcome fleshly desires. Brings life to our mortal bodies. Testifies that we are God’s children. Seals us in the Love of God. More than overcomers.
How To Activate God’s Power It’s found in complete surrender. It’s our intention every day. The purpose of our lives is for people to know jesus. Momentary activation (no script) We seldom see final results.
The Cross Matt. 28 and 16
Confessions of a Pastor Horrible drivers with Bumper stickers. You gotta copy and paste this or… PK Rallies, “We Love Jesus….”
What Makes a Disciple Understands Who Jesus is. We follow Jesus in baptism. Obedience is NOT optional. It’s normal. Wait until you’re married. To stay faithful and married. To serve your family and others. To serve and give to your church. To govern your words. To live sober.
REAL Disciples… Seek and obey God’s will in the direction of their lives. In their careers. Where they live and serve. How they see the world. Real disciples die to self to serve The King. Live Sober.
Jesus told His disciples: “Remember the word that I said to you: ‘A servant is not greater than his master.’ If they persecuted me, they will also persecute you” (John 15:20). He promised that if we follow Him, we will be persecuted. But what does that mean? What does the Bible actually teach about this important issue?
