From 2015 Series: Fresh Start_pt 2: Not The Same
Can You See It?_pt2:
Not The Same
Isa
If you think there is no hope… or you’re in a crisis… or you just doubt how good the future may be...
Know that He is “making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland!”
[ASK] - Do you remember the movie Back to The Future?
Of course you do… Marty goes back in time, sort of accidentally, and he’s trying to get back to the future.
He soon realizes that he’s got to be careful in the past, in order to not change the future.
[NOW] have you ever thought that if you could just go back and change some things in the past, it would provide for a much brighter future for yourself?
Ok, maybe not so literally, but maybe you’ve thought...
if I would have just done...
if I would have never done...
if that would have never happened to me...
The trouble with this - outside of the obvious fact that you cannot travel back in time - is that in this fantasy, you are the one in control.
And, you cannot save yourself.
But there is still hope!
Your past has been cleared.
And your future is in God’s hands!
And, more than the past being cleared, YOU have been cleared.
[PAYOFF] - You are not the same!
Not the same
(Message) “God, make a fresh start in me…”
When you meet Jesus, you are changed!
There is something that has take
Something new happens, inside of you = LIFE!
[PAYOFF] - In order to walk out the vision the Lord has given you, you’ve got to see things NEW - starting with YOURSELF!
New in Christ
[EVERYONE SAY WITH ME] - I am NEW IN CHRIST!
A new life in Christ
You have been born again!
The old you no longer exists…
New.
Not improved.
Not “let off the hook.”
Not “tweaked” or even “changed”
NEW!
How is this possible?
Because...
olosC
Hidden – What we see of you now, is not your entire life (self).
[PAYOFF] - There is so much more to you, in Christ, yet to be revealed.
What makes you you, isn’t completely seen here this morning…
It’s unseen in Christ.
There is something special about you
There is something new about you…
[TRANSITION] - New in Christ is...
A new temple in Christ
Where you take your bodies
What you put in your bodies
What you do with your bodies
Paul said…
[PAYOFF] - We are His temple, and we belong to Him! - (1st dimension)
And there is more...
1 Corinthians
[PAYOFF] - Not just ourselves, but us together form this temple… (2nd dimension)
He lives in us by His Holy Spirit!
God lives in Connect Church – US – by His Holy Spirit
[PRAY THIS OUT LOUD] – Holy Spirit you are welcome in this place!
In my church!
In my home!
In my family!
In my heart!
Paul once came across some believers as he traveled...
Ephesians – One Lord, one faith, one baptism
Ephesians – One body, one Spirit, called to one hope
1 Corinthians – whoever is united with the Lord, is one with Him in spirit.
When we receive Christ, we receive the Holy Spirit
Further, Scripture speaks of being filled with the Spirit
There is an awareness of the Spirit that these men didn’t have, and I believe it was affecting their faith…
[TRANSITION] - New in Christ is...
A new faith in Christ
In Mark, Jesus sets the bar for our faith…
That type of faith would require something outside of ourselves; we don’t naturally have faith in the impossible.
Our “new self” now faces even mountains with the faith to overcome!
Examples: challenges in life.
How do you make a decision that could impact the future of your family?
How do you deal with the news that you have cancer?
How do you completely start over after pouring yourself into a job or career for decades?
How do you plant a church in a new community, where no one knows you?
How do you repair a marriage that has been challenged for 20 years?
How?
Because there is something greater living on the inside of us!
NOTE - and it’s not your own “righteousness” it’s His!
Because of His Spirit, we can have life and power inside of us!
Paul goes on to say that because of this, we have an obligation to live in the Spirit.
This is why we lay aside sin and seek righteousness.
God’s presence in our life goes even so far as helping us know what we should even pray
There will be times in your life where you don’t even know what you should pray, much less do.
And His Holy Spirit is there for us…
This prayer – wordless groans – come from deep within; it’s your spirit crying out to Heavenly Father.
Romans 8:
This is your “prayer language.”
Take Away
We are called to live a new life!
“Put off” – it is intentional
[PAYOFF] - In order to walk out the vision the Lord has given you, you’ve got to see things NEW - starting with YOURSELF!
You are not the same, stop living the same...
Set out everyday living in Christ!
