Our main scripture for today as we continue on and this series talking about run Trotter, Revival is in Romans chapter 12, verses 1 and 2.
Does therefore, I urge you brothers and sisters in view of God's.
Mercy to offer your bodies as living as a Living Sacrifice?
Holy and pleasing to God.
This is your true and proper worship, do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, then you'll be able to test and approve.
What God's will is his good pleasing and perfect will
You know, last week, we talked about how Jesus is there to give you a hand up out of the rut, and it's because of what Jesus accomplished on the cross that we can get out of a rut whenever we're stuck in one.
And today will continue with that of talking about, you know, how determined are you to stay out of the rut once Jesus helps you get out of it.
You know, the Bible says in that verse, we just read that number to present our bodies as living sacrifices.
Holy and pleasing to God.
And you know, once you've taken that hand, once you've gotten lifted up out.
It still takes some work on our own part to stay out of the rut.
Now, I was hoping to bring it today, but I could not find it in my house.
I used to have this old t-shirt that I got.
From football back.
When I was in high school.
Now some of you who played football might know what it means, but it used to say with on it w, i t w, it takes, does anyone else hear that played AC football?
Remember that?
Tony does coach Moser used to give those out.
Now.
How did I get one of those shirts?
I didn't play.
But what happened?
I got the shirt because I saw that the old water trough, that used to be out there with you guys.
Probably remember the old water trough.
It was broke one year when we are getting ready to start today's, so I loaded it up.
Took it home, fixed it and brought it back.
And when I did Rod was like, Dave's doing what it takes.
You know, that was a shirt that he would give out to people after games during the week.
He do if they did something exceptional because they were doing what it takes to help the team win.
And, you know, this, I thought about today, you know, thinking about what it takes to keep ourselves out of the rut.
I thought about the same thing, but you know, the good news is Jesus will give you a eternally better reward than a t-shirt if we do what it takes.
And you know what?
I first said to Bryce that I was hoping to be able to wear that shirt today, but I couldn't find it at home.
He said, does that mean you're going shirtless today?
But no, it did not.
So we stayed away from that danger, but
You know, the first thing we have to realize that it takes his surrender.
You know, if you don't surrender, it will be totally impossible for the Lord to do anything for you.
Or with you.
You know, a beautiful biblical description of that is the story of the Potter and the clay.
There's several scriptures about it.
But I picked the one from Isaiah 64:8.
That said, yet you Lord Our Father.
We are the clay.
You Are The Potter?
We are all the work of your hand.
In order for a Potter to be able to accomplish anything of what they're doing with the clay.
They have to have soft, yielding clay, clay that they can work with clay that they can easily shape and mold into whatever it is that they're trying to create at that time.
Because you know, if there are any hard places in the clay, any Unser rendered unyielding places within the clay, they can't properly shape it.
They can't work with it.
It's just too hard to be shaped into anything other than it is and they can't make anything useful or beautiful out of it.
Cuz you know it is possible for something to be extremely useful without being beautiful.
I think about a garbage can.
There aren't too many garbage cans that I would rate as beautiful, but yet they are extremely useful.
You know, or what about all the little knick-knacks around your house.
How useful are they?
Except for being dust magnets.
They really don't do anything else.
Do they, they're meant just to look beautiful.
They aren't meant to have a specific use for anything.
But yet, we still have them.
But you know, the difference is the vessels that God is trying to make out of each and everyone of us.
He wants to make something that is both beautiful and useful.
But he can only do that if we have surrendered to him in such a way that he has all of us available to him.
The second thing that it takes is dedication.
You know, the secret of every successful person is an unwavering dedication.
2. Something.
Think about an athlete.
We most of us might like to think for athletes, but let's be honest.
The only time we get any physical activity is that, you know, the church picnic once or twice a year, right?
Are we might occasionally go to a family gathering where someone might be playing a game outside, but that's not a true athlete.
Your athletes are those people who strive to become better at their sport every day.
Every day.
They work on it.
It doesn't matter if it's during the team's regular season or the offseason.
They're doing something to try to make themselves a better athlete every day.
That's the person who's a true athlete.
So, you know, when the rest of us are sitting on the couch in the evening, that's when most of them are finishing their second workout for the day.
You know, we could tell them hey, take a day off.
It's not going to hurt you, but they wouldn't do that because they want to keep progressing everyday.
You know, it's the same with musicians.
And how many of us in here, probably started to play an instrument at some time in our life.
Yeah, who still plays their fifth grade recorder?
I have some people who try to play it on the bus, but it doesn't work too.
Well.
I mean, we started to play that instrument but we didn't stick with it.
We weren't dedicated enough to that instrument to practice it everyday, to spend time.
Learning more about it to keep working on it, until we perfected things.
So eventually we gave up And you know, I often think okay.
Was it a lack of skill?
Or was it just a lack of dedication that we didn't continue with those things?
Most of us, see, no lack the amount of dedication that it takes.
How long do you practice every week Janine?
A good hour and a half everyday.
For how many years?
A while since since you're 12, so around 20, right?
So, it's been a little while now, that's dedication.
Giving an hour and a half to something every day for that many years.
I started piano lessons.
