We have gone through some of the basics this Summer between Sundays and Wednesdays… kind of answering what you need to do next for your spiritual growth.
We want you to live fulfilled lives.
Jesus came to give you an abundant life.
What is God’s Plan for my life?
Psalm written by Moses.
We have a limited number of days in our lives.
God wants us to use them wisely.
We all know that no one on their death bed wishes they had spent more time at the office.
yet we will pour our life into work.
We all know the value of our family but our schedule doesn’t show it.
We all know that there are things that are important but we don’t do them because we don’t have the value of this verse.
You can’t apply wisdom if you don’t know the value of today… if you don’t know that life is brief.
People who know thy are about to die, spend their time differently.
So when you realize your days are numbered, you live differently.
Eph
We have a short window of opportunity so make the most of it.
17 - Don’t act like it’s not true, but understand what the Lord wants you to do.
to understand what the Lord wants you to do, we have to have the right values.
Joke -
On the very first day, God created the cow.
He said to the cow, "Today I have created you!
As a cow, you must go to the field with the farmer all day long.
You will work all day under the sun!
I will give you a life span of 50 years."
The cow objected, "What?
This kind of tough life you want me to live for 50 years?
Let me have 20 years, and the 30 years I'll give back to you."
So God agreed.
On the second day, God created the dog.
God said to the dog, "What you are supposed to do is to sit all day by the door of your house.
Any people that come in, you will have to bark at them! I'll give a life span of 20 years."
The dog objected, "What?
All day long to sit by the door?
No way!
I give you back my other 10 years of life!"
So God agreed.
On the third day, God created the monkey.
He said to the monkey, "Monkeys have to entertain people.
You've got to make them laugh and do monkey tricks.
I'll give you 20 years life span."
The monkey objected.
"What?
Make them laugh?
Do monkey faces and tricks?
Ten years will do, and the other 10 years I'll give you back."
So God agreed.
On the fourth day, God created man and said to him, "Your job is to sleep, eat, and play.
You will enjoy very much in your life.
All you need to do is to enjoy and do nothing.
This kind of life, I'll give you a 20 year life span."
The man objected.
"What?
Such a good life!
Eat, play, sleep, do nothing?
Enjoy the best and you expect me to live only for 20 years?
No way, man... why don't we make a deal?
Since the cow gave you back 30 years, the dog gave you back 10 years, the monkey gave you back 10 years, I will take them from you!
That makes my life span 70 years, right?"
So God agreed.
AND THAT'S WHY....
In our first 20 years, we eat, sleep, play, enjoy the best and do nothing much.
For the next 30 years, we work all day long, suffer and get to support the family.
For the next 10 years, we entertain our grandchildren by making monkey faces and monkey tricks.
And for the last 10 years, we stay at home, sit by the front door and bark at people!
In order to know whats next, you have to know…
What Matters?
You can’t make the right next steps if you don’t know what matters.
God Matters.
Most of you would agree, but if someone followed you around, would they see that God mattered?
One day we all stand in front of God and he will ask, what dod you do with my son?
Put your energy, your love and your passion into your relationship with God.
It’s not about just coming to church, it’s about a relationship with God through Jesus.
Doing the will of the Father - implies a relationship with God.
The will of the Father is for you to know the Son.
It also means that there will be fruit in our lives.
Do our lives show that Jesus is Lord of our lives?
Or are our words and actions the same as everyone else’s.
He doesn’t want to be your Sunday God.
Paul said everything else was garbage compared to his relationship with Jesus.
Story of the man who built extra barns to hold his extra…
Luke
He did not know he was going to meet God that day.
He did not know that he reached the last number of his days…
You cannot make a good decision if God doesn’t matter.
People Matter
Many of you are upset with someone else… today.
It’s easy to get upset.
Joke about the 92 year old who outlived her enemies.
Some of you are carrying around offense and the wound is killing you.
It’s time to let it go.
Unforgivenness is like setting yourself on fire and hoping the other person dies of smoke inhalation.
Let it go.
People matter.
Gal
911 - people on the planes called… honey, I know we fought, but I want you to know I love you… I am going to die… I love you.
We need to live like this all the time.
We need to live like we are in the floors above the impact level of the trade center.
We spend too much time fighting with people when we are supposed to be impacting people.
When you answer the first question correctly, you will hear this one.
What did you do with your life to impact others?
