Tapped into His Mission
Notes
Transcript
The text theme.: God blesses his people Israel, so that the nations might praise him…
God blesses you, so that the nations might praise him.
The need: God desires that all the nations of the earth praise him. Praise comes from an amazing experience with him. Most people haven’t had an amazing experience with God. At least not from what we sees.
Mission exists, because worship does not.
The issue: God desires worship and praise from everybody.
The complication: people do not praise or worship him. That’s because most people have not had an encounter with him nor will they seek him. How does God get people who he is not in relationship with to praise him.
1 May God be gracious to us and bless us and make his face to shine upon us, Selah
2 that your way may be known on earth, your saving power among all nations.

1 Kings 10:9 “9 Blessed be the Lord your God, who has delighted in you and set you on the throne of Israel! Because the Lord loved Israel forever, he has made you king, that you may execute justice and righteousness.””
29 Therefore I make a decree: Any people, nation, or language that speaks anything against the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego shall be torn limb from limb, and their houses laid in ruins, for there is no other god who is able to rescue in this way.”
47 and that repentance for the forgiveness of sins should be proclaimed in his name to all nations, beginning from Jerusalem.
20 and thus I make it my ambition to preach the gospel, not where Christ has already been named, lest I build on someone else’s foundation,
Jesus shines into our heart blessing us with the Spiritual and material inheritance promised to us by God so that we might be a blessing.
5 For what we proclaim is not ourselves, but Jesus Christ as Lord, with ourselves as your servants for Jesus’ sake.
6 For God, who said, “Let light shine out of darkness,” has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.
New Living Translation Chapter 3
Through Christ Jesus, God has blessed the Gentiles with the same blessing he promised to Abraham, so that we who are believers might receive the promised Holy Spirit through faith.
What do we do.

Examples of Praise:
Oh sweet thing
Don't you know you're my everything?
Oh sweet thing
Don't you know you're my everything?
Yes, you are, yes you are
You are my heat
You are my fire
You make me weak with strong desire
To love you child my whole life long
Be it right, or be it wrong
I can't explain why it's him and not you
(No, no, no, no, no)
But at the end of the day baby I just don't want to
Cause he ain't no doctor
And we always seem to fight, he got the perfect body
And sometimes he don't even treat me right
Oh but when I'm with him, but when I'm with him
When I'm with him, ain't nobody else like it
I'm so sorry baby that I have to do this to you
But I can't go on pretending
Cause I love him, I love him
And I'm so sorry, do you hear me
I'm so sorry but I love that man
I love that man
He ain't always right, but he's just right for me
