LIVING A LIFE THAT COUNTS

Welcome to Relevant Church

Proclamation- Make this your War Cry, Your Mission Statement

THIS CHURCH SHOULD BE AN INTRICATE PART OF YOUR MINISTRY. God is always at work around you, and there are divine appointment and Holy encounters that you are designed to walk in.

This is my Bible.

I am who it says I am. - In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven.

I can do what it says I can do. - I can do all things through him who strengthens me.

I am going where it says I will go. - And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and will take you to myself, that where I am you may be also.

God’s Word is milk for my soul. -Like newborn infants, long for the pure spiritual milk, that by it you may grow up into salvation

God’s Word is seed for my faith. - Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God.

God’s Word is light for my path. - Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.

God’s Word is power for my victory. - For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and of spirit, of joints and of marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart.

God’s Word is freedom for my life. -“and you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”

When I read God’s Word, it brings me joy. - Your words were found, and I ate them, and your words became to me a joy and the delight of my heart, for I am called by your name, O LORD, God of hosts.

When I study God’s Word, it keeps me from shame. -Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who has no need to be ashamed, rightly handling the word of truth.

When I memorize God’s Word, it purifies my heart. - 11 I have stored up your word in my heart, that I might not sin against you.

When I quote God’s Word, it defeats my enemies. ,- Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his might. and take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God,

When I meditate on God’s Word, it brings me success. -This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success.

When I abide in God’s Word, it gives me confidence. - If you abide in me, and my words abide in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you.

I don’t pray for trials to end. I don’t pray for wrongs to be righted. I pray for God’s will to be accomplished and for fruit to be born for His glory.”

I am a Bible believing follower of Jesus Christ!

Do you remember whe

-Story of meeting Marki

My wife can attest to this. I was working on the Sermon yesterday, really very reluctantly and I heard the Lord speak to me and say get out and go visit some people.

Wen t to visit Elizabeth, just moved out to Bullard, and my wife starts having this cough spell and makes me stop at store. nearly turn around but go on up. We pull right in and Stacey locks eyes with the girl next to us. And She rolls down her window, and says I am not from around here do you know where a DG is. I say yeah I think theres one right across the street. I ask her where she is from, she says Ben Wheeler, thats where I am from. And I ask her what her name is and I knew her not personally but through Facebook. I ask her if she knows a guy named Blake who she just a baby with and I knew that, and she says oh my gosh yes, that is my fiance and she ask what My name is, I say CJ and she says oh my gosh we were just talking about you a day ago, and we were thinking about going to church

Today we are going to talk about living out your dreams. But child of God it’s not your dream but Gods dream that He has given you, and you need to be aware because He may use yoiu to help someone else get unstuck so that they can begin to live out their dreams. Your dream I promise is tied with other peoples dream

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Let me ask you a question. When is the last time you had dream?

I used to have dreams all of the time. They were colorful dreams, they were even sweet dreams,

but then something happened and as life began to get more difficult my dreams lost their color, it was like I dreamed in black and white. Then my dreams turned into dreams where I was unable to do anything. If I was getting in a fight, my arms were a 100 pounds. If I was trying to play football I lost all athletic ability. Then when I turned 20 or so, they became violent nightmares. And then I got to the place where i didn’t dream at all, none that I could remember and it seemed like there was a deadness.

but then something happened and as life began to get more difficult my dreams lost their color, it was like I dreamed in black and white.

Then my dreams turned into dreams where I was unable to do anything. If I was getting in a fight, my arms were a 100 pounds. If I was trying to play football I lost all athletic ability.

Then when I turned 20 or so, they became violent nightmares.

And then I got to the place where i didn’t dream at all, none that I could remember and it seemed like there was a deadness.

Then there is other kinds of dreams… Right? You dream about how life would turn out, how you are going to land that dream job fullfilling your passion, for me ever since I could remember it was going to the air force and become a a fighter pilot. But that dream was dashed when by the age of 18 I was already facing criminal charges. And then any dream that I had seemed to be dashed by reality.

You know it is a dangerous thing when people lose their dreams, when they settle for the mundane. When they get to a place where they just automatically accept defeat.

Story about scientist

Adrian Rogers Sermon Archive II. Explore Your Dreams

I found out that some technicians were able to measure brainwaves, and they put sensors on a man’s brain and were able to tell just the moment when this man and the other subjects were going to sleep. And, they could register that on their meters, and they could also tell by the brainwaves when that person was beginning to dream. And so, they performed an experiment: they would let the subjects go to sleep and let them sleep as long and as soundly as they wished, but the moment they started to dream they were awakened. The dream was interrupted; and then, they could go back to sleep. Again, the moment they started to dream they were awakened. They slept the allotted time, the full time, but when they awakened, they were a little grouchy. The next time they went to sleep the same thing happened. Then, they were downright ornery and mean because they were not allowed to dream. And, after seventy-two hours of not being allowed to dream, they were becoming psychotic. They were seeing things. They were seeing double. They were acting with erratic behavior. And, they stopped the experiment right there and then let these people go back to sleep and sleep normally and let them dream. And, after only eight hours of sleep dreaming, they were almost back to normal, and after twenty-four hours, with sixteen hours of sleep, were back to normal. Now, what does that tell us? Well, it tells us, in the physical realm, that dreams somehow are beneficial, that they help us; they do something for us. I want to tell you, it is even more true that in the spiritual realm you need to dream

Adrian Rogers Sermon Archive Introduction

When I got on the airplane and sat down, there was a seat vacant next to mine. And who came and got on but that same soldier and sat absolutely next to me. I said, “Thank you, Lord, for answered prayer.” And I turned to the young man, and I said, “Sir, are you going overseas?” He said, “Yeah, I am.” I said, “Do you think that you’ll see combat?” He said, “I expect to.” I said, “Well, I was noticing you there in the airport. Was that your mom and dad?” He said, “Yes.” “Your wife and children?” He said, “Yes.” I said, “That’s a beautiful and a lovely family.” I said, “Have you thought about the possibility of perhaps not seeing them again?” He said, “Yes, I have.” I said, “Have you thought about the possibility of perhaps death on the battlefield?” He said, “Yes.” He said, “I surely have.” And I said: “Well, sir, if that should happen to you, how would you deal with it?” Friend, I never shall forget what he said to me. “Oh,” he said, “mister, I want you to know I’ve already settled all of that. You see, sir, there was a time when I invited Jesus Christ into my life. He is my Lord and Savior.” And then he said to me, “Sir, He is more precious to me than anything else on earth.” And he said, “My family is a Christian family, and my wife knows the Lord. My mom and dad know the Lord, and my little children know about Jesus.” And he said, “I have committed everything to Him, and if in His providence, and if in His will, I do not come back, that is all right, because …” He said, “Sir, I’m a young man, but …” He said, “I’ve already had a wonderful life.” And then he said to me this, and I shall never forget it. He said, “Mister, I have learned that life is not lived in length; it’s lived in depth. It is not the length of life that counts; it is the depth of the life that counts.”

Adrian Rogers Sermon Archive Introduction

And I got to thinking how many shallow people I know, how many churches are filled—a full church with empty people—people who have lived shallow lives. And I suppose the greatest tragedy on earth would be to come to one’s deathbed and find out that he has never really lived. I don’t want that to happen to you, and I want to talk to you this morning and again tonight about “How to Make Your Dreams Come True”—“How to Make Your Dreams Come True”—because everyone of us ought to have a God-given dream, and then by the power of God, and by the grace of God, and the providence of God, we ought to see the realization of that dream.

And then he said to me this, and I shall never forget it. He said, “Mister, I have learned that life is not lived in length; it’s lived in depth. It is not the length of life that counts; it is the depth of the life that counts.”

God has given to all in here a dream. Now time may have diminished those dreams, People may have tarnished those dreams, and you may even feel like Satan has killed those dreams, but let me tell you this God is the God of Resurrection. He is the dream giver and the demon slayer and If He be for you who may I ask can be against you!

Again I don’t think that any of us knows the full extent what it means to be a child of God

Genesis 37:1–4 ESV

Jacob lived in the land of his father’s sojournings, in the land of Canaan. These are the generations of Jacob. Joseph, being seventeen years old, was pasturing the flock with his brothers. He was a boy with the sons of Bilhah and Zilpah, his father’s wives. And Joseph brought a bad report of them to their father. Now Israel loved Joseph more than any other of his sons, because he was the son of his old age. And he made him a robe of many colors. But when his brothers saw that their father loved him more than all his brothers, they hated him and could not speak peacefully to him.

GENESIS

Genesis 37:1–11 ESV

Jacob lived in the land of his father’s sojournings, in the land of Canaan. These are the generations of Jacob. Joseph, being seventeen years old, was pasturing the flock with his brothers. He was a boy with the sons of Bilhah and Zilpah, his father’s wives. And Joseph brought a bad report of them to their father. Now Israel loved Joseph more than any other of his sons, because he was the son of his old age. And he made him a robe of many colors. But when his brothers saw that their father loved him more than all his brothers, they hated him and could not speak peacefully to him. Now Joseph had a dream, and when he told it to his brothers they hated him even more. He said to them, “Hear this dream that I have dreamed: Behold, we were binding sheaves in the field, and behold, my sheaf arose and stood upright. And behold, your sheaves gathered around it and bowed down to my sheaf.” His brothers said to him, “Are you indeed to reign over us? Or are you indeed to rule over us?” So they hated him even more for his dreams and for his words. Then he dreamed another dream and told it to his brothers and said, “Behold, I have dreamed another dream. Behold, the sun, the moon, and eleven stars were bowing down to me.” But when he told it to his father and to his brothers, his father rebuked him and said to him, “What is this dream that you have dreamed? Shall I and your mother and your brothers indeed come to bow ourselves to the ground before you?” And his brothers were jealous of him, but his father kept the saying in mind.

Exhibit your Distinction

Gen 37:1-

I. Dare to Be a Dreamer

Joseph was a man of Distinction

Joseph walked different than anybody else. He talked different than everybody else. He allowed the World the feel the impact of His presence. And that confidence came from His identity… What was His identity? Verse 3… Says that Israel loved Joseph more than His brothers. And because of this His brothers hated him

Genesis 37:3 ESV

Now Israel loved Joseph more than any other of his sons, because he was the son of his old age. And he made him a robe of many colors.

III. Learn to See Your Problems as Possibilities

Now Joseph as we will find out was not only distinct in His confidence, He was also disct in His character. In times of testing this man did not bend He did not conform

Conclusion

THE CULT OF CONFORMITY. There is a dangerous cult that is running rampant with churches. It is calle dthe cult of conformity

French naturalist who did some experiments with what they call the Processionary caterpillar. Do you know what a Processionary caterpillar is? He is a little caterpillar that follows the caterpillar in front of him. If you put a caterpillar in front of him, he’ll just follow that other caterpillar around wherever he goes. Well, this man—this Frenchman—took some of them and put them around the base of a flowerpot in a circle—about a dozen of them in a circle around the base of this flowerpot. And, the first one followed the next one, which followed the next one, which followed the next one, which followed the next one, which followed the next one, which followed the first one, and around and around they went, each one following the other. They did this for twenty-four hours. He then took some pine needles, which is the food upon which they feed, and placed them in the middle there of that little pot so they could easily get to it—only a few inches away. But, they kept going on around there twenty-four hours, forty-eight hours, on and on, one day, two days, three days, four days, five days, six days, seven days. And, they starved to death going around in circles with food just a few inches away, but they could not break the pattern—going around in circles. Does that remind you of anyone you know? Oh, you wake up in the morning and you go in and bathe and comb your hair, brush your teeth, shave your face, gobble down your breakfast, go off to work, draw your breath, draw your salary, come home, take an aspirin, watch the news, go to bed, wake up—listen, friend—over and over again, just going around and around in a circle. You don’t have any plan for your life. You do it because everybody else does it.

Be distinctive? Return good for evil. Show love. Refuse to participate in debauchery and sin. Live a godly life. Exhibit your distinctiveness. “Be not conformed to this world: but be transformed … [then you’ll] prove what is that good, and [perfect], and [acceptable] will of God.” () Joseph did—he exhibited his distinctiveness

Genesis 37:5–11 ESV

Now Joseph had a dream, and when he told it to his brothers they hated him even more. He said to them, “Hear this dream that I have dreamed: Behold, we were binding sheaves in the field, and behold, my sheaf arose and stood upright. And behold, your sheaves gathered around it and bowed down to my sheaf.” His brothers said to him, “Are you indeed to reign over us? Or are you indeed to rule over us?” So they hated him even more for his dreams and for his words.

Shall I and your mother and your brothers indeed come to bow ourselves to the ground before you?” And his brothers were jealous of him, but his father kept the saying in mind.

Genesis 37:5-

Now Joseph had dreams, dreams that seemed impossible. Dreams that seemed unlikely.

Don’t have your own dreams! I am not talking about God answering your carnal dreams. Listen any dreams that exclude God from the equation and promote self glorification. If you just want to use as another trick in your bag of tricks to support promote your narcissistic lifestyle. Listen you need to get another dream, you need God to place in your heart a dream that's worth dreaming. Don’t dream shallow dreams devoid of true purpose. Its not the length of life that counts, but the depth of life that counts!!

The greatest purpose, the biggest est dream that you can possibly live out is the Will that God has for your life. Don’t be afraid of it, don’t run from it, learn to embrace His Dream. He has created you, He knows the true desires of your heart. The desires of sin are called decietful desires. That is they don’t give you what you think, and they do give you what you don’t want

The most pitiful thing on the face of the planet is a Christian not living in the Will of God

fafce of the planet is a person that is drawing their breath, drawing their salary and jsut existing. When a person gets there the only pleasure they have is pleasure in sin of some sorts. And that is like drinking cherry cola flavored poison. Its good at first but then the consuqunces set in

Jeremiah 29:10–13 ESV

“For thus says the Lord: When seventy years are completed for Babylon, I will visit you, and I will fulfill to you my promise and bring you back to this place. For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope. Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will hear you. You will seek me and find me, when you seek me with all your heart.

Jeremiah

HOW TO KNOW IF THE DREAM IS FROM GOD?

Ponder the Dream, pray over that dream. Because the devil can send you a fake play.

A fake play, is when the devil places a dream in your heart and convinces you it is from God. I’ve seen the devils fake plays work out in so many peoples life's. I’ve seen people move cities because of the devils fake plays. I have seen people walk away from God because of the devils fake plays. They said God told me something and the exact opposite happened. Well friend that was the devils fake play. God is the Father of Truth, anything he says will hold true.

Now the point of the fake play, is to convince you that you have a fake faith. That God is not real, that God cannot be trusted. Because you had this dream, and God failed to come through.

Romans 12:2 ESV

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.

How Do I know the Will of God? He gives it to us here.

1) Presentation- Ok Lord I present Myself

2) Transformation

3) Revelation- it is funny how when you get yourself right with God all of a sudden the fog is lifted the darkness is

How does He transform? By the Renewing of our minds Transformation

He Transforms,

Adrian Rogers Sermon Archive I. Dare to Be a Dreamer

God gives me a new value system, and God gives me a new intuition, and God gives me new tools to think with. Don’t be afraid to use your mind, friend, if you presented yourself to Jesus, for the Bible says, “We have the mind of Christ.” (1 Corinthians 2:16)

EXPECT DIFFICULTIES

make SURE IT IS RENEWED, WATERED AND TRANSFORMED WITH THE Word of God!

But listen if the dream is from God he will give you the faith you need to see it through.... And as the Bible says His will is perfect

Expect difficulties. Listen when you set out to discover your dream, when you leave the land of comfort and conformity. Expect border bullies. Those people closest to you that will begin to talk you our of it. Expect people to turn on you, Expect the unexpected because the enemy hates the child of God that is pursuing the Kingdom of god and has gotten off of this sinking ship!

Genesis 37:18–21 ESV

They saw him from afar, and before he came near to them they conspired against him to kill him. They said to one another, “Here comes this dreamer. Come now, let us kill him and throw him into one of the pits. Then we will say that a fierce animal has devoured him, and we will see what will become of his dreams.” But when Reuben heard it, he rescued him out of their hands, saying, “Let us not take his life.”

Gen 37:18-21

So Reuben keeps the brothers from killing him. Istead they throw him into a pit...

Genesis 37:27–28 ESV

Come, let us sell him to the Ishmaelites, and let not our hand be upon him, for he is our brother, our own flesh.” And his brothers listened to him. Then Midianite traders passed by. And they drew Joseph up and lifted him out of the pit, and sold him to the Ishmaelites for twenty shekels of silver. They took Joseph to Egypt.

Gen 37

Listen when you have a dream and you decide to pursue God’s calling. Don’t be suprised if you have a fight on your hands. Don’t be suprised if things get worse. I have lost friends, I have lost jobs to take up my cross and follow Christ.

Adrian Rogers Sermon Archive III. Expect Your Difficulties

The Apostle Paul says we are to “endure hardness, as … good [soldiers] of Jesus Christ.” (2 Timothy 2:3)

He was thrown into a pit, He was sold into slavery, In Chapter 39 He is falsy accused of Rape and thrown into prison. He had real difficulties. But don’t finish reading the book. Because this was all preparation to make Him a Saviour. God had a plan, God had a purpose, and that plan and purpose is not expect from pain, it is not exempt from the appearance of failure. But as

Romans 8:28 ESV

And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose.

s

The fires of life is where men and womenof God are forged. Through the good the bad, the ugly, the heartache, the failure, the wresting, the striving, the crying, the hopeless night, the bright sunny days.... all things are working together for godd. And some of you need to be reminded this morning to not grow weary in doing good for at the right time, you are going to reap a harvest.

The devil placed it in the hearts of his brothers to sell him into slavery. The devil harved his initials on the heart of Potiphers wife to seduce Joseph, but when he ran she screamed rape. But whatever the devil tried to accomplish He actually was achieving God’s plan and purpose for joseph,

Adrian Rogers Sermon Archive III. Expect Your Difficulties

it’s because He wants us hard; He wants us real. You see, you don’t sharpen an ax on a pound of butter,

s

Exercise Your Dependency

God was with Him wherever He went

On the job

Genesis 39:1–4 ESV

Now Joseph had been brought down to Egypt, and Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh, the captain of the guard, an Egyptian, had bought him from the Ishmaelites who had brought him down there. The Lord was with Joseph, and he became a successful man, and he was in the house of his Egyptian master. His master saw that the Lord was with him and that the Lord caused all that he did to succeed in his hands. So Joseph found favor in his sight and attended him, and he made him overseer of his house and put him in charge of all that he had.

Genesis 39:1

You know when, I started following the Lord and serving God. People liked it when I worked for them. Because I usually made them lots of money. Now I didn’t make lots of money, but my employers made lots of money because they hired me. When I worked foran appliance company in Lufkin, the business prospered under my management. When I worked at Palm Harbor in 4 months I became the leading salesman in the whole region. Not because I was a super salsmen, but it was because God’s blessing and favor and presence was with me.

Can I tell you that your bosses should be getting blessed by your presence in the workplace. They should love you because you are honest, you work your tale off and you are seeking the peace of blessing of that business

THE LORD PROSPERED HIM IN PRISON

Genesis 39:22–23 ESV

And the keeper of the prison put Joseph in charge of all the prisoners who were in the prison. Whatever was done there, he was the one who did it. The keeper of the prison paid no attention to anything that was in Joseph’s charge, because the Lord was with him. And whatever he did, the Lord made it succeed.

Genesis39:22-

I tell you if you get in on God’s will, you begin to get things right with God there will be adversity, but then there will be blessing, blessing enough that you cannot contain it and every sitiuation you find yourself in there will be God ordering your circumstance, directing your paths, and seeing to your prosperity.....

Adrian Rogers Sermon Archive C. The Lord Was with Him in His Suffering

You better be careful what you believe, dear friend. You say, “Well, I got it from the horse’s mouth.” Horses lie. Oh, how the devil loves to slander good people! And, the only defense Joseph had was God. That’s all—just God. But, God was with him. Joseph is thrown into prison, this man who had a reputation for godliness. Can you imagine how he felt thrown into prison not for doing wrong but doing right? They laugh at him: “Ha! Hey, Holy Joe, you old rascal. Rapist, huh?” Thrown into prison. But, as you study that story, you find out before it’s over, he’s running the prison—I wish I had time to show it to you—running the prison. God is getting him ready for his divine destiny. He exercised his dependency upon God.

Living a Life of Purpose Means Living a life of Vision

Proverbs 4:18 ESV

But the path of the righteous is like the light of dawn, which shines brighter and brighter until full day.

King James Version Chapter 4

But the path of the just is as the shining light,

That shineth more and more unto the perfect day.

Proverbs 4:18 ESV

But the path of the righteous is like the light of dawn, which shines brighter and brighter until full day.

Proverbs 4:18–19 ESV

But the path of the righteous is like the light of dawn, which shines brighter and brighter until full day. The way of the wicked is like deep darkness; they do not know over what they stumble.

Proverbs

Now people think that living out your dreams, living out the Will of God

Living a life of Vision is hard when you are stuck in the past

Living a life of vision is hard to live when you are consumed by the Present
