Disruption

God the son and God the Holy Spirit In The Name of the one who was who is and who is to come I greet you. Good morning science. Good morning. Sinners. Andre we got a majority. He always think should I that's it is good to see Andrew Calhoun and his family here tonight to Andrews one of them. So I guess Joe and I saw you see you to check up on you and I'm preaching so that's cool. That was a good deal. We did wasn't it.

Look at this painting actually in the art gallery of New South Wales. You can make it at the it's cold from a distant early work of an Australian artist David Davies and here in the in the darkened room and the door opens out into the glaring sign of the Australian bush where it could be. Maybe he's riding off into the distance. I wonder what music is the man is reading. I wonder what he was from. Where is it? From? What is this communication a ban in the midst of maybe a routine morning. It is disrupted him under contemplate to consider some sort of response eviction maybe to what information he is received from this correspondence invite you to if you'd like to hold that image in your mind is we I mean just threw a few stories to die. So I must have which would be quite familiar to you as a rather one-sided conversation, but that's the why sometimes it is we can talk over coffee light up music.

It's my 21st and I had a dream that I would be the youngest manager of the Bank of New South Wales. That was my dream. For those of you who don't know. I'll have it too young to remember the wild is what waist pack is now. I don't understand why they would call it Westpac. The Bank of New South Wales is a must know. It's annoying. It was founded in 1917 the First Bank in Australia, I still remember the propaganda in the second oldest organization in Australia. And sorry that was my dream to be the wild youngest manager and then go disrupted my planes and the rest of the story. Is part of my personal history? I wonder what it must have been like for ibram who became Abraham you might have picked up another time that I've learned / Ibraham. He's one of my fiber bottle characters about this site little information about him. It's rather annoying in the tank. Do you like more background to him? I'd like much more from the text. Anyways a broom. He became Ibraham. I would like to have a little bit more information. Then he's dead in the text but such as they reach their suggested Abraham was leaving Quite A Satisfied Lord notwithstanding the counter embarrassments in the shame of the childishness of the marriage of eating cereal guy who lied would become Sarah but they they did have some kind of special relationship with Abraham's nephew lost play safe and I will secure in their own country among families living within a family compound speaking the same language.

Alkyne has everything is good. I guess life was me an inheritance.

Oh good, even though actually that were probably quite stuck. And then go disrupted unplanned in a dramatic promise for a child in the nation and the rest of the story, but you can read about of course in a text in Genesis is history, but it is Central to The Narrative of the three monotheistic religions of the world really important story. And then is Moses a fugitive slave some of describing an asylum-seeker if you will he had a personal encounter with God in a bush have happened to you lost quite strange that he brought both you and said a drift bike. the fear of persecution you was saved from the Water by Egypt movie about that somewhere and then beginning to Central discern his true Heritage. He sought justice but he's British people he spoke up for his birth people that's causing trouble when we going flat.

Or is it just the battery?

before I was wondering when I should have worried about it when I stood up. Should I

pattern pattern

thank you for saving my soul my voice so I should say my voice and he became this person for justice son Moses for his own people in court what a little bit of trouble in this country of adoption of Egypt and then he fled that country's dick tied up and from those who had become he's family and he turned into a fight, and he married the boss's daughter and started his own family and that the spotted leaving in a Strange Land life look pretty well sorted for Moses, even though he was actually quite stuck and then go disrupted plant in a burning bush and other episodes and the rest of the story witch and the rest of the story. I wish you can read about in Exodus.

Is integral to the judeo-christian narrative caught Central to a fight. And then of course there was played at and Andrew and James and John and Matthew enough and fisherman some fishermen a text and others to a hemorrhaging woman and adultery a prostitute a lippa a blind man. The Dead Brother of two female friends light is still there was an eloquent prosecutor religiously. Shooting those who thought differently particularly those who are choosing to follow the white of Jesus and soul. He became Full Assault at that point eight and age of stock in their own wide and disrupted their plans. And the rest of this door you see straight. I ended phones of auto part of the narrative. That is the central hinge. If you will of human history that seem to the Randall life the death in the resurrection of Jesus and the arrival of his kingdom on earth and the god of the Gospel. We are told bursts into the world most unexpectedly like in a baby in Bethlehem and like God in human flesh dying on the cross.

like in Jesus rising from the dead liking medicine and you need your keishin and imprinting. Disrupting human planes disruptive the human dreams disruptive to human expectations disruptive to human cultural normal behavior. Don't you love this disruptive God. I like to invoice. Yeah. I know. Have you ever been disrupted by God? What's a god disrupting you story just a sentences that you might like to shave and somebody next door if you next to your husband or what and you know, I can you voice feel free to move on. But otherwise I could share a story just remind me to check.

Okay, thank you for that. You might choose to continue that conversation over coffee in a little while. We may prefer of course judging by the kind of shake of hate or shadow that I did see through the people this morning. We might might be different to that then being disrupted. We might prefer of course atomistic. I did God. A time God I God that we can control a small G God instead of a BG got one in whose presence we can feel comfortable all the time one who maybe we make in their own image.

disturbs the comfortable today could be one of those towns.

Are the stories briefly mentioned in many more not mentioned. I had just two stories to tell a little bit about now.

In the reading from Luke 5 that we had made to us before and he's fishing with chasing a massage deliver rights with credit around these unusual top under turned preacher and hila and Jesus or the crowd and he saw a world of similar people move through the ice and added. He's rich and and using the Fisherman's Boat is a full but he tells his story ending this disruptive God in the flake inbox the fisherman the pushchair and a fish in the do in Draper borders. This challenge will because I know it old fisherman. Thank you, and this was telling us to go into another place. And of course, he's also symbolizes of the fact that I put my fish has an interesting little sore and quit being diluted ones the Smart Ones if you will have to get unstuck to change their jobs in to become lose or disciples rather than help him in the liberation of people from the true afflictions, but comforting this disturbing the comfortable just completely overwhelmed by this Jesus the Christ the son of God God In the Flesh and of course, he must have been overwhelmed catch a fish which would have been completely arrive at a point of a willingness to give up of emptiness of the need for a fresh start that Jesus being said go. Go deeper into the waters in fights in trusting his vision for the alarm from this encounter also pushed its participants out of certitude and safety and and just knowing everything that security of the end of will being in the Punjab that you knew and push them forward into new and unknown missional Adventures set the tone of course for authentic Christian Fellowship followership ever since we first met Jesus and then we move out in in missional Christian leaving is a sign for Tyson witness of the kingdom and then overtime a shape of church or community in which those it may not be right for the photo is in another neighborhood where others are located but it's the community that needs to be where they are located here is the disruptive God at work.

Story 2 in Psalm 126 the first verse concludes we were like those who dream We would like those who dream. people of God idelia be instructed to put a Roots down in This Strange Land of Babylon with a different culture with its foreign language options came with the promise that the destructive God would it sometime in the future and visit them and bring them back on and maybe he would do that just when they were most comfortable with stuck in the new surroundings in the meantime, they plaintiff heartfelt to You full cry with how long oh Lord how long must we would have to we sing the Lord's song In a Strange Land in the woods in the psalm 126 form part of the lyrics of a song that the people of God saying when they would finally might be back to the future back to Jerusalem after being an exile in a Strange Land very very different group of unstuck on stock. But unstuck did you hear that unstuck people at the same time and these fries we would like those who dream one commentator put it this way. It leaves us with a cool to be like dreamers those whose lives are shaped nut by the limits of their experiences, but by the hidden reality of what Called his already declared will be. The destructive God at work again.

Antonio some questions Br32 be pushing actually tonight when I come along here.

Just in case you was stuck in anyway, I have some questions for you to the office and talk about things that have to do with community. And should I get a personal question if you want stuck in some way or another?

Are you open to push you out into deeper waters? Are you willing to be disturbed and at the same time strangely come for the? Are the presents in the pear of this disruptive God? Are you stuck? Are you stuck? And if so, what are you prepared to let go of in order to be unstuck?

What might you need to stop? So that you can stop at leaving God's dream for the world. One of Vail senior ministers at Discovery law Sunday morning. I preached in her cinnamon or having a Series bat stock and I'm stuck in some of my thinking of course and I'll buy some in this next bit of Journey of acknowledge that and so I need to give it traded.

It should have been nice. Sunday morning Jodi suggested that are some common triggers of becoming or being stuck. And if you feel that you are stuck. It's possible that you might identify one or more of these. Hope you can read that read day. Can you read them? I'm going to try them anyway shine.

Can cause us to be stuck?

If we hide from part of a story or if we disown part of a story.

Timing is another. When we miss with Guns by and he's telling me we got l y on are telling me that can cause I was inevitably to be stuck in L Y which we think is the best wife cuz way to learn to catch the fish.

Well, I got a thing you get played into sometimes. I can make it stuck to her. Sunshine timing distraction sitting for lace character disobedience Can cause us to be stuck a lack of wisdom or courage or can't capacity to see beyond till to listen to the first voice to be able to see beyond the way we currently are Fiat.

And the game rather obviously. offense or unforgiveness

When are you concluded in Michael church ministry quite a few years ago. It didn't end that well and was easy.

But it's so much better to take a stance of learning and with the encouragement of sound like decided to take a stance of Looney and noticed stains of finger-pointing and just a couple of incidents in a couple of people. And my interaction with them created tension that was significant significant contributor to that conclusion in that local church and my wife and I going down the street off that last Sunday. Breaking a pretty good salmon. But anyway going down the street to have lunch together and it's a walk-in I said, you know, I've already had a chance to be the a with posting it and I'm going to be able to clear it pushing why as soon as possible. I was within weeks. I bumped into that person and in the in the shopping center at Doncaster and we

the longest words at the end might be that last one. The ones that really can impact on us in their personal development in their social and Community Development and most of all in a spiritual relationship with God the Father Son and Holy Spirit.

So I repeat. What might you need to be prepared to let go off? In order to be unstuck.

Maybe today W know but you need to talk to somebody about that. They'll be all that you need for prayer up here at the conclusion of the service. It might even be in a very relaxed casual conversation over coffee or today or whatever at the important if it's an eerie way, we feel stuck and we feel that's why I indicated to us today that we do some work on it so that tomorrow we wake up.

And we can do. We are in regard places Monday through Saturday. You don't vote you to stand. Please take I am going to sing a song a minute, but I'd like us to actually conclude with the words of a prayer. That's 5 slides up. There will get you or I should say a prayer together or invite you to join me in the saying of this prayer as we conclude this part of their time together ready to go. Okay?
