All In

This morning we are continuing the All in series that really is a challenge to all of us of who we are but most importantly Who God is calling us to be. The first few weeks we looked at and focused on 3 things

The New International Version. (2011)

Looking to JESUS That Jesus christ and the words that he spoke is our standard. THERE is nothing else that we stand on.

the next slide pleas

Living like Jesus- As we look at his words we see how Jesus lived and how he treated people. You and I are called to live the the same way. Laying down our life for the sake of the gospel.

If i could I just want to share with you a special prayer request. This week on Thursday morning I will be flying to Haiti in which I have been asked to speak at a church plant Revival in city named Belle ante. I am super excited but nervous at the same time as it is a remote part of Haiti. We will be taking a boat there.

1 I've never spoken where I needed a translator. ( I guess thats not entirely true i do have teenagers) You have been there What are they saying….. I just want to first of all represent Christ and speak clearly on his love. SO the best way is to cover this in prayer.

2. This is an area that needs the light of Christ as it is heavy into Voodoo. I am praying for protection as i go there. GOD is in control

The third week in this series we spoke about Loving Like JESUS.

and last we spoke about being able to connect with a culture and a world that feels like it it crumbling and falling a part.

That we want to be a place that doing those three things.

Because we believe that it is important to be in balance. IF any one area is out of focus we just might be out of spiritual balance

Recently i had to take my jeep into get it looked at because the tires were wearing down really fast on one tire. As i took it in they said it needed and alignment which i thought was strange because it wasn't pulling. So apparently your car can be out of alignment without it pulling. I know all you tire people are going to tell me DUH we knew that “BUT i didn’t"

Spiritually though, I think its the same. We can be out of alignment and not know it.

Unity (one body many parts)

We may not always agree but we can still be unified

What does it mean to be authentic?

20 “My prayer is not for them alone. I pray also for those who will believe in me through their message, 21 that all of them may be one, Father, just as you are in me and I am in you. May they also be in us so that the world may believe that you have sent me. 22 I have given them the glory that you gave me, that they may be one as we are one— 23 I in them and you in me—so that they may be brought to complete unity. Then the world will know that you sent me and have loved them even as you have loved me.

24 “Father, I want those you have given me to be with me where I am, and to see my glory, the glory you have given me because you loved me before the creation of the world.

25 “Righteous Father, though the world does not know you, I know you, and they know that you have sent me. 26 I have made you[e] known to them, and will continue to make you known in order that the love you have for me may be in them and that I myself may be in them.”

12 Just as a body, though one, has many parts, but all its many parts form one body, so it is with Christ. 13 For we were all baptized by[a] one Spirit so as to form one body—whether Jews or Gentiles, slave or free—and we were all given the one Spirit to drink. 14 Even so the body is not made up of one part but of many.

15 Now if the foot should say, “Because I am not a hand, I do not belong to the body,” it would not for that reason stop being part of the body. 16 And if the ear should say, “Because I am not an eye, I do not belong to the body,” it would not for that reason stop being part of the body. 17 If the whole body were an eye, where would the sense of hearing be? If the whole body were an ear, where would the sense of smell be? 18 But in fact God has placed the parts in the body, every one of them, just as he wanted them to be. 19 If they were all one part, where would the body be? 20 As it is, there are many parts, but one body.

…24If a kingdom is divided against itself, it cannot stand. 25If a house is divided against itself, it cannot stand. 26And if Satan is divided and rises against himself, he cannot stand; his end has come.…

Generosity (God loves a cheerful giver)

We authentically want what JESUS wants. May we be Kingdom Minded (Your kingdom come Your will be done)

Do We authentically want what JESUS wants? Could we really answer that question

In his book The Purpose-Driven Church, Rick Warren reports on a survey that found 89% of church members believe the church’s purpose is to “take care of my needs and those of my family.” Only 11% said, “The purpose of the church is to win the world for Jesus Christ.” (Page 82).

According to George Barna, in his book called, “Evangelism That Works,” most churches have only a small group of people who have a passion for evangelism. Barna asks 3 probing questions to churches like ours:

1. “Do people “own” evangelism as the heartbeat of the ministry?”

2. “Is evangelism deemed the highest priority of the church?”

3. “Have the people caught a vision for reaching nonbelievers that gives the church definition, energy and direction?”

He concludes by saying, “If not, the organization is not truly a church but is simply a group of people intrigued by religion.” (Page 129).

When it comes to being authentic, its all about knowing the original.

May we be Kingdom Minded (Your kingdom come Your will be done)

Thats not always easy because we often see Jesus runs counter culture to the rest of the world.

May we take on this same mindset of Christ. That we lay down our own life and sacrifice for the good of others

-13New International Version (NIV)

9 “This, then, is how you should pray:

“‘Our Father in heaven,

hallowed be your name,

10 your kingdom come,

your will be done,

on earth as it is in heaven.

Saying, Father, if thou be willing, remove this cup from me: nevertheless not my will, but thine, be done.

Jesus only needed to pray in the days of his flesh.

Who in the days of his flesh, when he had offered up prayers and supplications with strong crying and tears unto him that was able to save him from death, and was heard in that he feared;

As a human Jesus was obedient to God.

And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.

Unity (one body many parts)

We may not always agree but we can still be unified

20 “My prayer is not for them alone. I pray also for those who will believe in me through their message, 21 that all of them may be one, Father, just as you are in me and I am in you. May they also be in us so that the world may believe that you have sent me. 22 I have given them the glory that you gave me, that they may be one as we are one— 23 I in them and you in me—so that they may be brought to complete unity. Then the world will know that you sent me and have loved them even as you have loved me.

24 “Father, I want those you have given me to be with me where I am, and to see my glory, the glory you have given me because you loved me before the creation of the world.

25 “Righteous Father, though the world does not know you, I know you, and they know that you have sent me. 26 I have made you[e] known to them, and will continue to make you known in order that the love you have for me may be in them and that I myself may be in them.”

In some respects the prayer is a summary of the entire Fourth Gospel to this point. Its principal themes include Jesus’ obedience to his Father, the glorification of his Father through his death/exaltation, the revelation of God in Christ Jesus, the choosing of the disciples out of the world, their mission to the world, their unity modelled on the unity of the Father and the Son, and their final destiny in the presence of the Father and the Son.

I am not talking about music But connecting to the heart of God That we lay aside our wants and sacrifice

Kristian Stanfill (Worship pastor and recording artist)

“One of the keys to meekness is worship. This may sound predictable from a worship pastor but worshipping Jesus is the very best weapon we have to fight against pride. Worship lifts our eyes and reminds our souls who God is and who we are not.” I am not talking about music But connecting to the heart of God That we lay aside our wants and sacrifice

We’re obsessed with our phones, a new study has found. The heaviest smartphone users click, tap or swipe on their phone 5,427 times a day, according to researcher Dscout.

That’s the top 10 percent of phone users, so one would expect it to be excessive. However, the rest of us still touch the addictive things 2,617 times a day on average. No small number.

The research firm, which specializes in consumer reactions to products, recruited 94 Android device users and installed special software on their smartphones. The tool tracked each user’s “interaction” over five days, all day, the company says in a blog post on its website.

“And by every interaction, we mean every tap, type, swipe and click. We’re calling them touches,” it explains.

Averaging out the numbers, the aforementioned figures mean the heaviest users are touching their devices a couple of million times in one year, Dscout says.

... Probably the most interesting thing in all this was that the people surveyed completely underestimated their phone touching. While they were initially shocked by the numbers, 41 percent said “it probably won’t change the way I use my phone.”

APPLICATION

How many taps, types, swipes and clicks take place between you and God in a day?

If the number of times you were in contact with God on a daily basis could be tracked, would you be shocked by the result? Would it be because of how often, or, how infrequently you reached out to Him?
