(please place in two columns on the screen)
OFTEN WE THINK...
I want to be married
I want to be single
I want to have children
I don’t want to have children
Ex - Often time we focus on the wrong things.
We need to focus on God.
If you want to change you need to focus on God and the light of His revelation.
If you could have you would have.
God is the ultimate power source for personal transformation.
If Mark wants to change.
I’m not going to find it in a book or seminar.
I going to find it in the person of Jesus Christ.
Eclipse - Misconceptions that dim the Light.
God is POWERFUL.
Ill - Nathan Milazzo - if she saw from my perspective her reaction would have been different.
Arg: I see God as someone that can tweak me BUT transform me.
I’m not sure He is that powerful.
Every person here today can be TRANSFORMED & CHANGED.
I don’t have to leave here today the same person.
You can’t be in control and be transformed.
Hang on OR Let go
We approach God this way.
I want us all today to fill chp 7. God is not interested in tweaking… give up control.
Hang on or Let go
too hard
One thing to change?
It’s not to difficult.
God is ALL POWERFUL
Paul is an amazing example of this...
AN EXAMPLE OF A TRANSFORMED LIFE: SAUL OF TARSUS
()
Ex: How do you build trust with people.
Tell your story.
Watch my life!
Paul spends the rest of his life helping people understand this one truth - NOTHING IS TO DIFFICULT FOR GOD
How do you build trust with people.
Tell your story.
Watch my life!
Paul spends the rest of his life helping people understand this one truth - NOTHING IS TO DIFFICULT FOR GOD
Why do we struggle with transformation in our lives?
Why do we opt out for being religious and not like Christ.
2 Corinthians 5:17-18
Ill - Baby born?
Fully human?
They need developed.
They are becoming a new creation… We are fully Christian when saved BUT now the challenge is to grow.
The baby matures just as we should mature.
What do we struggle?
His power is eclipsed.
3 WAYS WE ECLIPSE GOD’S POWER IN OUR LIVES
Spiritual Ignorance (not aware)
Spritual Ingnorance
The Problem: Lack of knowledge
Ill - iPhone
Saint or Sinner?
Jesus lived, died and rose again so that you can be forgiven and become a Saint.
Paul, addresses churches in NT the saints...
We cannot act inconsistent with how we think.
The Solution: Think Right
The Solution: Think Right
… you are complete in Him.
God of universe lives in YOU.
Not tents, tabernacles but YOU!
Colossians
been brought to fullness
Ill - DISCOVER EVENTS
2. Spiritual Isolation
The Problem: Pride
Isolation X dynamic
We would rather impress people rather than to be transformed.
I’d rather stand at distance instead of rubbing shoulders with you and you realize I’m broken.
The Solution: Do Life In A Group
Ill - Small Groups - Talk It Over
warn each other
Bold - you need to be in a group or start one.
You are as sick as your secrets.
You can’t confess sins in isolation.
When I’m around people the Mark get rubbed off and the Jesus sticks!
I don’t need to be tweaked I need to be transformed!
3. Spiritual Idleness
Christianity, if false, is of no importance, and if true, of infinite importance.
The only thing it cannot be is moderately important.
- C.S. Lewis
You will be a religious person but not a transformed person if Christianity is moderately important to you.
The Problem: Trying
Ill - Keyboard - people that try hard will never play.
People that train learn to play.
