Discouragement / Encouragement have the same root: courage

Discouragement = taking courage from someone

Encouragement = giving courage to someone

My goal in the sermon is to give courage to the church to more forward

Give courage to Caitlyn

Give courage to Caleb

Give courage to Brian

“Rooted / grounded” are past tense

Move someone from “I have the knowledge of Jesus” to “I experience the power of God’s love in me, through me, and around me”

Looking back to Chapter 2, if we still see evidence of our deadness, there is still something we aren’t getting about the power of God’s love

Deadness

Trespasses

Sins

Following the air

Passions of our flesh

Desires of the body and mind

Children of wrath

Piper

“Venture more on his power and love than our moderate calculations” -Piper

“God will overcome all obstacles through prayer” - Piper

Faith comes from hearing and hearing from the Word of God

Gift of faith - not just saving but expanded faith in possibilities for ministry

Excitement / sense of hope and expectancy about the potential of the church / what God might do through us for his glory and the good of this city

Not just hope in the church but about what’s going on in their own life

We all have an inner longing for doxology

The church exists as a mirror to reflect God’s glory and character to everyone

Jesus should be the center of the whole story, the whole act, God made Jesus the only physician / surgeon (glory in the hospital and in the surgeon)

Glory to God for all generations (comparison to the greatest of men and how the don’t get glory for very long)

People are like meteors and God is like the sun

There are a lot of people who know about God’s sovereignty or theology of God’s love or God’s power but they don’t soar in response

Singing because he sees God’s power over the church is beyond what we think and he sees that the love of God for the church is beyond what we can think

Where do we get confidence for?

I believe with all my heart that God loves me and love this church with an infinite distinguishing covenant love

Do you have trouble feeling loved

If you only conceive of the love God has for you as the same as those who haven’t believed

God says “I can do MORE”

Goals
