Kingdom Mindset

Kingdom Minded

(NIV)

“However, I consider my life worth nothing to me; my only aim is to finish the race and complete the task the Lord Jesus has given me—the task of testifying to the good news of God’s grace.”

Kingdom Mindset is looking FORWARD

Life or dead was irrelevant to Paul

Focus, Drive and Task was testifying to the good news of God’s grace

“I eagerly expect and hope that I will in no way be ashamed, but will have sufficient courage so that now as always Christ will be exalted in my body, whether by life or by death.”

& 13

(7) “But whatever gain I had, I counted as loss for the sake of Christ. (8) Indeed, I count everything as a loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord.

(13) Brothers I do not consider that I have made it my own. But one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead. 

Single-Minded: “Having ONE driving purpose or resolve”

What is everyone's ONE driving purpose? 

What are you sold out for?

What was Pauls?

Paul had a single-minded mission “to testify to the gospel of the grace of God”

3 Ways to Stay Kingdom Minded

“I have fought the good fight, finished the race, and kept the faith”

Fight the good fight through prayer

Pray for the lost at your school

Pray for your family

Pray for revival

Run the race with endurance

“Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, 2 looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God.”

Fix our eyes on Jesus

Even in dry times

Keep the faith by living you what you believe

Faith without actions is dead ()

Do not be ashamed of your faith

Stand firm in what you belive
