  • Life more than this

    What I eat

    What I drink

    What I wear

    Sendy is the same

    I see you

    Final initial thought

    Godwink Matthew 6 by tekoa, roy mckenna, mark barlow

  • Only intention or God

    Moving a lot this morning

    What if

    Game played

    To only move

    With intention

    Or pause to worship God

    Literal steps

    *snatched turn on step in place*

    Unless you set the task

    You open the Bible

    *snatched participating muscles

    To spike ball

    Motion

    Slow motion

    Is form

    Before cannon ignited

    *

    Make a tally mark

    On a post it

    On your Bible

    And read one scripture verse

    Every time

    You stop

    Without a task

    To move forward

    Memorize one verse

    Move with God’s intention

    Final initial thought

    Bet you cannot do it

  • Manhood

    202604190932m3f6

    Mark 1: identity first, love first, before service

    Voices that inform me

    Are forces that form me

    Gen 3:16 first failure of manhood was passivity

    Eyes opened, shame enters

    They hide

    Who told you that

    Blame

    False voice says

    • Culturally says pride is strength
      • James 3:5 – God opposes the proud and grace to humble
    • Hiding brings safety
      • Cost of confession equates silence is a slippery slope
        • James 5: confess to one another
    • Dominate or disappear
      • Get big or small. Harsh or quiet
        • 2 cor 12:9 boast in weakness

    *Snatched James 5 give to God and trust.

    Anyone trying to save their life will lose it

    Be willing to lose it all

    Give it all to God

    Conform to the world

    Or transform by Jesus

    Default to conform

    Or participate to transform

    One dimensional salvation ticket to heaven

    (Greek) To be delivered, to be made safe, made whole

    Salvation saved in eternity plus changes current reality

    Def today: full work of God to forgive, restore , and transform us to be like Jesus

    Col 2:13

    Sin condemns and enslaved thru guilt

    Sin because of brokenness

    Not Sick because of the flu

    We have the flu because we are sick

    No will or discipline will fix sin

    Salvation is divine intervention, not self improvement

    Sin destroys what God loves most – people

    Cannot just ignore and

    ON the cross Jesus took what belonged to us for us to take what belonged to Him

    Sin made us homeless. Removed from Eden. Removed from the father’s house

    Lost their identity. Lost their inheritance. Lost the provision

    Saved from and what we are being saved for

    Jesus knew what he was saving us for

    Buy out of the marketplace

    Redemption not the goal

    Adoption was the goal into sonship

    Opened the door (better than forgiveness and freedom)

    Gal 4:7

    We all want to go Home

    Sojourn, yet seeking Home at the father’s house

    God is not done with you as a believer. He will finish a good work

    Phil 1:6

    You didn’t find God, God found you

    We are being saved

    Being transformed

    Until Christ returns

    While in the darkest day, Christ died for us

    So when we come to the Lord

    He will say you are already forgiven

    We are not trying to get into heaven

    We are trying to get heaven into us
