Do You Want to be Well
Intro:
Good morning Church!
I love seeing you guys here today.
It was a wild and crazy week last week at Church camp but I am looking forward to this week.
It was great to see the kids really getting into the spirit of being great Hear-Doers.
We too must be able to become focused on God which makes us great at doing what the Word says.
And as we continue our study on making God the priority I have but one question for you, do you want to be well?
Today’s verse is found in John chapter 5 and the focus is in verse 6, but we will be covering verses 1-10.
In verse 6 Jesus asks this very specific question to the man who was crippled and in verse 6 it says: Read
Pray
Do jar experiment
What is your priority in life, is it your job, your kids, your family?
Or is your focus God?
When our focus is God we can really find that the other things take care of themselves in proper ratios.
When was the last time we served the Lord?
Well I helped out with Easter breakfast, I helped with Christmas, I helped with VBS? Do we really put God at the top of our priority list?
If He is then people will see this and be convicted but if He is not, don’t we just look like the rest of the world.
What sets us apart, is it coming to this building and worshiping on Sunday, if that’s it, it is not enough.
We must eat, sleep and breathe God, that is what He asks of us, because He has given us no less.
When we don’t, why is it the excuses?
That’s what I want to talk about first this morning, the excuses.
