The Experience...
Story: Painting my old house and looking at it as new for the first time…
What can an old worn out preacher tell a new generation about being relevant and effective in the world?
That which we have touched.
John wanted them to get their eyes on the most intriguing mystery of the universe… THE LOVE OF GOD
Getting caught up in beholding
Not Hypnos (the god of sleep) but Perceive…
Beholding gets your mind off of the wrong stuff (the way to win my battle)
Turn your eyes upon Jesus…Beholding sets you up for the process that John prayed that they’d experience
John wanted them to BEHOLD 3 things that would transform their lives forever
The Mystery of…GRACE
vs.1…Grace was lavishly poured out on us…
More than we needed….He ‘WETTED’ us up w/ Grace…
More than we needed….He ‘WETTED’ us up w/ Grace…
It was enough to change my name: Story…
He changed my name: Story…
The Mystery of…NOW
vs.2…The change is NOW…not ‘one of these days’
Many of us are LOST in time because we don’t embrace NOW
Many of us are LOST in time because we don’t embrace NOW
Now we are sons: Story…
Now we are sons: Story…
The Mystery of…HOPE
vs. 3… Everyone who has this hope [possessors of hope]
We face the fire because we see him, love him and we want him
We face the fire to seal what Grace has brought forth…
TO LAUGH IS TO RISK APPEARING A FOOL.
TO WEEP IS TO RISK APPEARING SENTIMENTAL
TO REACH OUT TO ANOTHER IS TO RISK INVOLVEMENT
TO EXPOSE YOUR FEELINGS IS TO RISK REJECTION
TO PLACE YOUR DREAMS BEFORE A CROWD IS TO RISK BEING MOCKED
TO LOVE IS TO RISK NOT BEING LOVED IN RETURN
TO GO FORWARD IN THE FACE OF OVERWHELMING ODDS IS TO RISK FAILURE
BUT RISK MUST BE TAKEN, BECAUSE THE GREATEST RISK OF ALL IS TO RISK NOTHING.
THE PERSON WHO RISKS NOTHING, HAS NOTHING, AND IS NOTHING.
HE MAY AVOID SUFFERING AND SORROW, BUT HE CANNOT LEARN, SHE CANNOT FEEL, HE CANNOT CHANGE, SHE CANNOT GROW, AND HE CANNOT LOVE.
CHAINED BY HIS CONVICTION, HE IS A SLAVE.
ONLY A PERSON WHO RISKS IS TRULY FREE.
THE LOVE OF GOD
THE LOVE OF GOD
