LEGACY 3: Lamplighters
INTRO
We are in Week 3 of our Series “LEGACY” where we are talking about God’s calling on your life personally and on the church
God has called us to live beyond ourselves...
God is doing something all over the earth.
He is building HIS HOUSE, He is gathering people to himself and preparing a great and glorious end time army of radical Christ followers who are full of faith, dealers of Hope and passionate people who are motivated by Love!
A people who will usher in a final move of the Holy Spirit before the great coming of Jesus Christ!
The fact that you are sitting in a church this beautiful Sunday morning is proof to many of you that there must be a GOD!
LOL (SMILE).
Today you might be here and feeling a bit isolated, wrestling with faith, and maybe even in a fight with God...
I have Good News for you today!
The Holy Spirit has brought you here this morning because there is a plan, purpose and a destiny on your life.
He loves you so much that God himself is drawing you in, to refresh your soul, to restore all the good things He planned in advance for you.
He’s planting you in His house and putting you with a spiritual family and calling out the significance in your life.
You were created on purpose for a purpose!
You are not the result of some cosmic accident.
God’s been patiently waiting for you...
He saw you coming down the road...
He knows every thing you’ve done, every thought you’ve had, and He loves you anyways.
You know what I love about God... even when I was not interested in Him at all...
He was passionately pursuing me.
LIFE IS SHORT
ETERNITY IS REAL
PEOPLE MATTER MOST
LEGACY DEFINED:
1.
What we invest in and build with our
lives that will be passed on to others.
2. The imprint and impact of our lives
that will outlive us
SERIES KEY TEXT: 1 Chronicles 28:9-10
9 “And you, my son Solomon, KNOW the God of your father, and SERVE Him wholeheartedly…”
“SEEK Him and he will be found…”
10 “CONSIDER NOW, the Lord has chosen you
to build a house as the sanctuary.
Be strong and do the work.”
A desire to KNOW GOD INTIMATELY is hard wired into us…
I’ve been walking with God now for 23yrs.
In my journey, I’ve seen these traits in people who knew God intimately:
TRAITS OF THOSE WHO KNOW GOD INTIMATELY
1. Sacrificial Love for others (that exceeds convenience)
2. Lifestyle of Generosity
3. Life of Faith, believing for more, living in a bigger world.
4. Love for His Church (the Bride)
5. Love for Mercy and cry for Justice
6. Heart for the Nations
7. Longing for Heaven
LIFE IS SHORT
ETERNITY IS REAL
PEOPLE MATTER MOST
Matthew 5:14-16 ESV
14 “You are the light of the world.
A city set on a hill cannot be hidden.
15 Nor do people light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a stand, and it gives light to all in the house.
16 In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven.
FACTS:
The earths circumference is 24,901 Miles
Some of you will drive that amount of miles in 2yrs.
Today is Nov 28th.
If you left the parking lot today and drove an average of 60MPH, 24hrs a day with no breaks, in 17.5 days you would have travelled 24,901 Miles.
Some where around December 16th you’d pull back into this parking lot.
7.5x that = 186,757.5
Miles
Traveling @ 60MPH = 130 Days to go around the earth 7.5x…
Traveling at the speed of light you could go around earth 7.5 times in a single second!
The circumference of the earth is 24,901 Miles…
The circumference of the sun is 2.7 Million Miles!
The sun is 93 Million Miles from the earth… further than your Tesla will last you.
It only takes 8 min for light to travel 93 Million miles from the Sun to the Earth.
That light produces energy, light, heat.
The Sun warms our seas, stirs our atmosphere, generates our weather patterns, and gives energy to the growing green plants that provide the food and oxygen for life on Earth.
... We know the Sun through its heat and light,
LIGHT:
Matthew 5:14 - “You are the LIGHT of the World!”
In addition to the Sun, there were 3 Forms of Light during Jesus day...
Torches
Lamps
Candles
Torches were used on the exterior and
Lamps were for the interior
Candles for smaller spaces where less lighting was needed
LAMPLIGHTERS
Even in the late 1800’s, one of the common jobs of the city were men who would go and light the lanterns of the city at sundown.
Even 100yrs ago… 1921 (your parents, grandparents or great grandparents) chances are that unless they were very wealthy, they did not have electricity in their home.
In 1925, only about 30% of Americans had electricity.
7 out of 10 lit their homes with gas lighting, lanterns and candles.
When you flip a light on in a room, there is illumination.
Darkness flees... it disperses.
Light breaks up the darkness
Where darkness huddled like an angry mob, light comes in and breaks up the mob.
Where there is light, areas where darkness once prevailed become areas owned by the light.
Where there is light, there is joy.
Where there is darkness there is a level of fear.
Some people fear the dark, other’s light it up!
What you fear in life controls you.
