  • 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

    Hebrews 1:9 NLT
    [9] You love justice and hate evil. Therefore, O God, your God has anointed you, pouring out the oil of joy on you more than on anyone else.”

    Praying to overflow of joy that I can fill any cup nearby

    Jesus is the spring of joy

    2 Corinthians 7:10 NLT
    [10] For the kind of sorrow God wants us to experience leads us away from sin and results in salvation. There’s no regret for that kind of sorrow. But worldly sorrow, which lacks repentance, results in spiritual death.
    https://bible.com/bible/116/2co.7.10.NLT

    It is painful to follow Jesus

    But it leads to salvation

    The more I get to know him

    The more of my sin is revealed

    The more I must repent

    The closer I get to him

    The more I am responsible for

    One more talen

    More work

    More reward

    Already a bridegroom

    Hurts so good
