Welcome everyone.
This is an incredible day.
First, it is another baptism Sunday.
Can you believe it?
I mean what is going on here?
God is moving.
I am so incredibly excited.
Second we are starting a series this week about risk takers.
It is about what we have to do to make this work.
What our responsibilities are in the kingdom of God and as Christians in general.
This Sunday being the first, I thought that I would talk about us.
The message of today is entitled
WE ARE LWF!!!
We actually have a tshirt order form out front.
We want to get some shirts made that We Are LWF!! and put our #54nomore.
So if you would like to get one of those, we need to know your size and how many you want.
But how many of you know that it was a risk for us to plant the church.
I mean we had 15 people including us that said we want to help.
We want to be a part.
Not to mention that when we were looking for a spot, we didn’t have one.
We had no idea where God wanted to plant us.
We drove around praying and asking.
Sonya and I did.
But we knew that it had to be from God.
He was the one who had to build it.
He was the one who had to give the instructions and the directions.
But once we got the place, then the real work would begin for us.
Because we would have to get the vision.
We would have to communicate the vision.
We would have to follow the vision.
Why is that important?
Because
Most people when they read this verse they stop at the first part.
They say this.
Where there is no vision, the people perish.
People quote this part of but no one knows the rest and when you don’t understand the context of what he is saying then you will miss the whole point.
You realize that neither of these verses are talking about your personal vision for your life.
Nor are they talking about the vision for a church.
These scriptures when in proverbs says where there is no vision, are referring to the word of God.
You have to be looking at Christ.
It is by his word that we see him.
Your vision is by looking at Christ.
Where there is not revelation or where the word is not preached.
Look at the whole thing again.
What was the law?
So what this is sayins is where teh gospel isn’t preached where people don’t study the word, they will cast off restraint.
They will not keep themselves from sinning.
All bets are off.
Hello Church wake up!!!
We have adulterers, thieves, and homosexuals in the pulpit.
We have child molesters in priest robes.
We have a church that doesn’t preache about holiness and that sin is ok.
People are perrishing.
Not here.
If you want who we are.
We are God Seekers
Here at LWF, you will get the word.
It may or may not be a word that you like but it will be the word none the less.
We do not as it said in Hosea reject knowledge.
We want it all.
Not because we just want to be smarter but we want to know more about God.
We want to know more about his Spirit.
We want to know more about Jesus.
Paul said this:
Notice the words he used.
That I may know him.
Not that my mom knows him or that my grandfather knew him.
But that I would.
That means you have to spend time with him.
That means you need to seek him yourself and do it throughout the week.
We know that LWF is not satisfied or content with just a Sunday morning breakfast of the word.
We crave him.
We are desperate for him.
You must be.
But know that when you step foot in here, you will hear the word.
You will hear the gospel.
You will have the opportunity to respond.
It is not an option.
Why?
Because that is who we are.
God seekers.
You may not walk in here that way but if you stay with us long enough, it will wear off on you.
It will be someone that you too become.
Here is the basis as to why we are that.
And you guessed it, it comes from the word of God.
32 times in Scripture it says “Seek the Lord”.
8 times it says “seek God” We are told to seek the kingdom of God.
We are told to seek the things above.
David says this and it is the best summary I could find.
This one thing I seek, His presence.
We will seek Him.
Not his gifts, not his mercy, not his grace, not his healing, not his wisdom, not abilities toget me out of trouble.
We will seek him.
That is what David is saying and that what LWF will do.
That is who we are.
God seekers.
We know full well that in his presence are all of those things and it is ok to ask for them.
It is ok to want those things becuase they are promised to you.
IT is not ok to seek those things alone.
It is on your notes like this.
