2nd Circle: Brokenness
Last week, we talked about how God has a design for all of us.
But we are human and we screw up and sin.
That ends up being our brokenness.
WE LIVE IN A BROKEN WORLD
Do agree with this statement?
Let’s just look at some statistics here
In the United States today:
» Forty percent of children live in single-parent homes.
» One half of 1 million children have been removed from their homes due to abuse and neglect and placed
in foster care.
» An estimated 20 million people are ensnared in some kind of addiction.
» Police report over 3,000 violent crimes a day.
These are rising numbers!
Let’s look at what happened in Texas this week.
The final number as of 3 days ago is 21.
19 children and 2 Teachers.
We LIVE IN A BROKEN WORLD
So there once was this guy and you may know him but he sat on a wall.
Humpty Dumpty was his name.
He had a great fall and and cracked, All the king’s horseman and all the king’s men couldnt figure out how to put Humpty Dumpty back together again.
So we all know this wasnt for lack of trying.
Im sure if they had duct tape it couldve worked right men?
Duct Tape doesn’t fix everything
What happens when duct tape gets wet, it loses its stickyness.
Its mean to be a temporary fix.
Let’s look back at our lives.
We sin, we feel guilty and we become afraid to see God.
This happened with Adam and Eve.
They were ashamed and hid from God.
So we go to other things, money, drugs, alcohol, getting angry, and even worse, some people go to cutting themselves or even suicide.
But why is brokenness such an important thing to realize.
First off,
We chose to depart from God’s Design
Now you may be asking yourself, Erich, did we really choose this if God already knew it was going to happen.
Yes, we chose it, why because you have the choice of free will.
This has been true from the very beginning.
Adam and Eve thought they knew better than God
They made a choice.
and Sin entered the world.
which meant from then on we have departed from God’s Design.
We all do it.
This scripture leads to the next point of
When we depart from God’s design, it always leads to brokenness
We know when our communion with God is broken.
IT feels like fear, shame, guilt, loneliness and so forth right.
We just talked about and when we feel this way we immediately try to hide from God.
There is something that needs to be said here and it says it clearly in this scripture
I was afraid
Lets take a look at this from our perspective.
How many people here know about “The Good China”
The Good China
This is the china that comes out when someone important comes over and Mom runs frantically all over the house to clean it.
Now as a kid we all had butterfingers and we wanted to make sure the plates, cups or whatever does not fall and break.
And if something were to break, immediately you knew the WRATH OF MOM was coming.
You were afraid, you try to find the superglue to fix it immediately and hopefully she wont notice.
SHE NOTICED
So instead of telling the truth and just getting the wrath over, you hide it, try to fix it on your own and Mom finds out and the punishment is wayyyy worse.
Brokenness disrupts God’s Design
God had a design for every aspect in our life we learned this last week.
Brokenness disrupts our Spiritual life
We have an enemy which is Satan.
Brokenness disrupts our family life
He wanted us to multiply and be fruitful but now it comes with a cost because we didn’t listen.
Brokenness disrupts our married life
The other half of verse 16 says Your desire shall be contrary to your husband but he shall rule over you.
The Christian Standard bible says Your desire will be for your husband yet he will rule over you.
Brokenness disrupts our work life
This is our toll to work the earth.
We have to work at everything.
Brokenness disrupts our physical life.
the ending of verse 19 says You will return to the ground since you were taken from it, for you are dust and you will return to dust.
But now we see the bad of brokenness, but it actually helps see the need for change.
Brokenness helps us see our need for change
We try to cover our own sin, but it doesnt work
We do what we can to fix our own brokenness but it doesn’t work
Brokenness seems like a bad thing but in may ways it’s good because it’s how God gets our attention
God has made way out of our brokenness by using the Gospel.
Starting next week and for the month of June we will be doing a Series called Foundation of the Church.
The first week will be the Gospel and the meaning of the Gospel which is also the last Circle
The second week we will have Big John from U Turn for Christ speaking on accountability and how we need to hold each other accountable as we the people are the church.
The 3rd week we will have Dr.
Harry Watson back out again speaking on Stewardship
The 4th Week we will have one of our very own Dennis Gaddy, who is a Gideon, showing us what Gideons do in this world and the OUTREACH they have.
These are all very important foundations the church needs to have
The GOSPEL, ACCOUNTABILITY, STEWARDSHIP, and OUTREACH.
