Good morning and welcome to CCC.
So glad to see each of you here this morning.
What a wonderful thing to have kids here again this morning in our second week of kids Sunday School.
You may also have noticed I am wearing my old Nevada Wrestling coaching polo that is in support of our very own Sydnee Baldwin who with three other teammates qualified for the Missouri Class 1 Girls tournament next week.
Great Job Sydnee and good luck!
We now have a ride line 417-448-0369.
If you or someone you know needs a ride to church call that number and myself or Mike Compton will answer.
God has called Mike to head up our van ministry which is truly a blessing and I can’t wait to see the fruit and testimony that will come from his obedience!
Let’s Pray
START OBS
I want to start with a story that I came across this week.
When conducting a mission in a mining town a preacher was escorted through a coal mine.
Entering the black, grimy, underground tunnel he saw some beautiful, pure-white flowers growing out of the black mine earth.
He was amazed!
How could anything, let alone a flower of such great beauty and purity live in that black grime?
He asked the guide for an explanation.
The guide told him to throw some coal dust on the flower and watch to see what happened.
The preacher did so.
As soon as the coal dust hit those snowy-white petals, it slid straight off, leaving no trace of coal dust to mar its beauty.
The surface of the petals was so smooth that the grit and grime had nothing to hold onto.
The dirtiness that surrounded the plant and tainted its leaves and everything else in the mine could not get a grip on the glossy flower petals.
The dirt could not cling to them.
I have a picture of coal white daisies.
Look at how white they are yet being in coal.
I do not know if the story is true or if these coal white daisies are the flowers being talked about.
This got my mind thinking and I did a little more research and found something pretty amazing
Before I show you this video it is a commercial for a product but it shows exactly what we are going to talk about this morning.
I am in no way endorsing this product or the company as I have no idea about either of them so please don’t leave here and say Pastor Josh said to buy this product it is great.
I am just interested in the video not the product.
Please show the video
This morning we are going to see how we can live in the world not of the world, surrounded by sin and evil but it not sticking to us
I John 2:15-17
_________________________________________
“Do not love the world or the things in the world.
If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him.
For all that is in the world—the desires of the flesh and the desires of the eyes and pride of life—is not from the Father but is from the world.
And the world is passing away along with its desires, but whoever does the will of God abides forever.”
You and I as Christians cannot love the world or the things of the world
I believe that there will be many Matthew 7 “Christians” who loved the world, they claimed to love the Father but the love of the Father was not in them because they loved the world.
Outside appearances are deceiving.
Salvation is an inside job, true you see the fruit of salvation on the outside but that is a result not a cause.
What are the things of the world
Desires of the flesh
Desires of the eyes
Pride of life
How do we eliminate the love of the world?
How do we eliminate the desires of the flesh an eyes and pride of life?
That is what we are going to look at this morning.
Much like those things treated with that product in the video we, through the power of the Holy Spirit and application of God’s Word can have the world bounce right off of us.
Romans 12:1-2
_________________________________________
“I appeal to you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship.
Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.”
I want to look at 4 things this scripture brings out
1. Living Sacrifice
_________________________________________
Turn with me to
Luke 9:23
_________________________________________
“And he said to all, “If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me.”
The life of the Christian should be marked by sacrifice.
Giving up the world to be filled with Christ
You were never in control of your life that is a lie the devil sells society and they buy it hook line and sinker
You are either lost,
a sinner,
on satan’s team
loving the things of the world and
walking in the desires of the flesh and eyes and pride of life or
You are saved,
redeemed,
part of the family of God,
loving the things of God and
walking in the Spirit
You are either controlled by satan
the world
and sin
Or God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit
That is the only choice, having control is not a choice
You must surrender to God
You must submit to God
You must take up your cross daily and follow Jesus
Sacrifice you for Jesus
EVERYDAY!
You must die to the world and live from Christ
2. Spiritual Worship
_________________________________________
Dying to self.
Taking up your cross
Presenting yourself as a living sacrifice to God
Is your spiritual worship
Worship is not just songs.
I love worship.
I love helping Stephanie and Melody lead worship
I love hearing each and everyone of you worship
That is just part of worship
Giving thanks to God for what he has done for you is worship
Kinley worshipped with me this morning.
She went to the doctor this week and got great news.
I got a text from her dad to pray for them and then when I followed up with them to see how things went Mike said Roo has great news but wants to tell you all about it.
That is worship.
Praising God for his provision and guidance and healing in our lives.
That is also carried over into corporate worship.
If you see them worship you can tell that they understand who God is and what He has done in their lives.
Praise God for that!
Spiritual worship is the act of denying self so that you can be a living sacrifice because of how good God is
