Intro
Peak Interest
Burning everything on a magnifying glass as a kid
Magnifying glass signifies SEEING and SEEING CLEARER
Goal of the next 4 weeks: TO SEE our identity as the youth ministry of BCF Church
Goal of tonight: TO SEE CLEARER the moment that we are in
PHRASE THAT PAYS
We SEE CLEARER when we MAGNIFY CHRIST.
Body
Passage
Moses was the leader of God’s people who led them out of slavery from Egypt into a new & promising land.
These are Moses’ FINAL WORDS (picture the moment) to the next generation.
He doesn’t get to go into the promise land & neither does the oldest generation because even though they got out of Egypt, they couldn’t get Egypt out of them.
SHEMA (means “active hearing” in Hebrew) prayer (v4-5).
Jews pray this prayer everyday and they even take the next part literally.
Have you ever had your parents tell you something so important that they had to sit you down?
(i.e.
Papa talk in 2015)
Moses is sitting the next generation down to say: I want you to SEE CLEARER than me and my generation.
How?
I want you to MAGNIFY GOD in your life.
We SEE CLEARER when we MAGNIFY Christ.
Point
1. (v4-6) MAGNIFY CHRIST with your LOVE
LOVE that DEMONSTRATES
Heart (lebab) = center MIND (What do you take in?), WILL (How do you make decisions?)
& EMOTIONS (Do you own your feelings or do they own you?)
Soul (nepesh) = body, soul & spirit - Are you so spiritual that we neglect our BODY (sleep, diet, exercise) & MIND (mental health)?
Strength (meod) = EVERYTHING (Friends, Money, Ambitions, Talents, Political views, Sexuality, Culture, Colour of your skin)
2. (v7-9) MAGNIFY CHRIST with your LIFE.
Some of us want the life of Jesus without wanting the LIFESTYLE of Jesus.
What are some new lifestyle things that you picked up during the pandemic (i.e.
RUNNING)
Start where you are, not where you want to me - What is one lifestyle that the Spirit is asking you to let go?
What is one habit that the Spirit is asking you to take up?
We SEE CLEARER when we MAGNIFY Christ.
Outro
Person
Eternal life = QUALITY > QUANITY = Eternal LIFESTYLE
Jesus was the model of eternal LIFESTYLE.
He MAGNIFIED GOD.
He even quoted Deut 6 when asked what is the greatest command.
He knew that He was the only one and we couldn’t perfectly LOVE & LIVE like Jesus.
Because of sin, we are LOVELESS & LIFELESS.
For some of you, these two words describe the last 2 years of your life:
Lost friends, a family member
Parents lost a job or so busy keeping theirs that you feel neglected
Lost motivation for school
Jesus GAVE the perfect act of LOVE by giving His LIFE (Romans 6:23)
And He rose from the dead to prove that Himself true & that our LOVE & LIFE could be MADE NEW through His Spirit IF we put our trust in Him.
In other words...
We SEE CLEARER when we MAGNIFY Christ.
Practice
Response #1 - You’ve never experienced this kind of LOVE & LIFE.
Put your trust in Jesus today.
Response #2 - The last two years have been nothing short of a deficit of LOVE & quality of LIFE.
