-Sleeping while His Glory was revealed- the hard work of ministry
-Looking for our own glory- results based thinking, want a piece of the glory 9:32
-Given authority, but missed the point.
-I was looking for the top, and Jesus pointed me to the bottom
-Life’s better together, unity.
-His Kingdom is not of this world, if it was we would be fighting for it.
-In God’s kingdom, our eyes need to be firmly fixed on Jesus, not the Glory behind, we really like to flaunt what we’ve done.
Jesus’ challenge for us is to look forward.
At His finished work.
It really is all about Jesus.
nothing else.
-arching theme’s: Wake up- Live under authority, know His authority, separate it from your own.
Are you happy under Jesus?
-You can live under Jesus’ authority, or another but you are all going to choose to live under something.
The hope of the gospel is that Jesus is that in the seeing of Jesus, everything we left behind is nothing in comparison.
-Bitterness: You can live a life looking behind you in several ways, seeing everything that it cost you to follow Christ, and begrudging every step behind the plough.
-Pride: Maybe you look behind and you are so proud of the straight tracks youve made, its all you can see, and you are consumed with your own
When you follow Jesus, you do not need to check behind, because His work is complete
-Shame: Also you can look behind and see a sea of mistakes, and feel the weight of your own unworthiness, and take take your hands off the plough in you rown shame and giult of past sins.
Thanks so much Bailey for reading the Word!
Hello and Welcome to Westpointe Community church, it is good to be in the house of God this morning.
If you haven’t noticed yet, there has been a focus on our Youth ministry this morning.
We have set our hands to many different ministries here at Westpointe and God has been doing many great things, and so we celebrate what God is doing.
Two weeks ago we took 20 young people to YC, which is a Youth conference in Red deer.
It was the prayer of our youth ministry team that those on the outside would be drawn in, and those on the inside would be drawn deeper.
God moved and 5 of our young people gave their heart to Jesus, 3 for the first time, and 2 recommitted their lives to Christ.

Two weeks ago we took 20 young people to YC, which is a Youth conference in Red deer.
It was the prayer of our youth ministry team that those on the outside would be drawn in, and those on the inside would go deeper.
God moved and 5 of our young people gave their heart to Jesus, 3 for the first time, and 2 recommitted their lives to Christ.
We prayed for them as a youth group and it was a rich experience.
I asked the one of the young men after.
“Why did you do it?
what made you stand up and trust Jesus for the first time?”
and He said; “Its never too late to change your life.”
I was so blessed by that because the speaker that night hadn’t even phrased it that way, it was just the work of the Holy Spirit in him that He was ready to surrender.
It was beautiful.
Today marks the day of Pentacost.
We aren’t going to spend a lot of time there this morning but I do want to take a moment thank God for sending His Spirit in power.
I was so blessed by that because the speaker hadnt talked a ton about
its says in Acts ch.
2:1-2
When the day of Pentecost arrived, they were all together in one place.
2 And suddenly there came from heaven a sound like a mighty rushing wind, and it filled the entire house where they were sitting.

The rushing and mighty wind of the Spirit is blowing over His people and He is moving in the hearts and lives of those who are ready, “for a life change.”
and so lets invite Him here this morning.
2 things: Creating oppertunities, and Drawing people into community.
Lets pray
Lift up your hand this morning if you grew up on a farm, or are currently farming?
Okay!!
So we have a few here, and thats great.
Lift up your hand this morning if you grew up on a farm, or are currently farming, or maybe even want to but cant?? okay so we have a few here, and thats great.
I grew up on a small farm, we had 40 acres.
And at that time and that was just big enough to grant us “farming status”.
My Dad wanted us kids to grow up with the routine and work ethic that comes with living on a farm.
What it means to pick rocks, pick roots, feed animals, regular chores and to… WORK THE LAND.
And WHEN working the land, we had to use some very old, but effective methods on how to strike out across a field.
This is pre-GPS, pre-navigation.
I was talking to my Dad this week and he recalls His father before working the land in the fall, he would drive from his starting point and go to the far side of the field, close to a mile down.
And he would bring a piece of bright flanel and put it up high, sometimes on a stick, or even in a tree so that from a ways off it was clearly visible...
And he would drive back to the other side, and with His eye fixed on that piece of bright flanel, he would strike out across the field.
My Dad said it was always as straight as a die, dead on.
And this was the same method we used on our little farm growing up.
I remember discing one fall after harvest, and I employed this method.
I remember thinking, this is gonna be a breeze!!And then starting into it, even blinking was enough to cause slight waivers.
Once I started down I had to know exactly where I was going and what I was working toward.
I needed to know a few simple things, and set my mind to see it through.
Before GPS or other navigation instruments, when
It was old enough that you could use it horse drawn or by tractor.
And when it was time to break land, there was no GPS, If it was your first row, you would strike out across the field, and you would set your eye on a far point.
Eyes fixed would would set and even taking yours eyes off for a moment, it was easy to loose that point of reference.
IT was no use to look behind to see if you had a straight row.
That was achieved by looking ahead.
-In this life we need to know some truths absolutely before we set out.
We need to know who we work for (Under Jesus authority (transfiguration, demons 9:1), the purpose that we work (v55), and we need resolve these things in our own hearts (Jesus’ resolve v. 51, our own resolve 62).
elisha burned the oke and slaughtered the cows and went after God
Because Jesus said in Luke ch. 9 v 62
“No one who puts his hand to the plow and looks back is fit for the kingdom of God.”
-In ch. 9 v 28 Jesus takes Peter, James and John up a mountain to pray.
Up to this point Luke the physician has been very clear in detailing when and where Jesus was going, And all you detail oriented people are just LOVING IT!
In ch. 9 v 28 Jesus takes Peter, James and John up a mountain to pray.
Up to this point Luke the physician has been very clear in detailing when and where Jesus was going, what city, what lake, what place, but here place is less significant, and purpose is on display.
They went up a mountain TO PRAY.

16 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.
17 And the world is passing away along with its desires, but whoever does the will of God abides forever.
But here... a specific place is not given, “just mountain.”
the purpose of going out is what comes into focus, they went up… TO PRAY.
The First is Pride: In living our lives for Christ, we turn to look back, and instead of seeing a wake of Gods faithfulness, we just see us.
In ch. 9 v 28 Jesus takes Peter, James and John up a mountain to pray.
Up to this point Luke the physician has been very clear in detailing when and where Jesus was going, what city, what lake, what place, but here place is less significant, and purpose is on display.
They went up a mountain TO PRAY.
Jesus has been teaching them up to this point that everything in this life is done, In His name, In His authority, by His strength, by His grace.
And this was a further display that even Jesus was dependant upon the Father in prayer.
And if you can imagine as Jesus starts to pray His appearance became brighter and brighter as He prayed.
And Simultaneously the disciples in their own prayer became more and more tired, and fell asleep.
upon waking up they were in the presence of Jesus, Elijah and Moses.
What they missed was a conversation of how Jesus was going to die, His departure.
