1.
You were planned for God’s pleasure.
(aka.
Worship) (Rev.
4:11)
We are all worshippers.
If we don’t worship God, we will find a replacement.
Worship is my response to God’s great love.
Worship is giving back to God.
This brings God great pleasure.
What could you give God in return?
Your love.
If at the end of the day you know God a little better, and love him more, that would have been a successful day.
God did not put you here on earth to simply check things off your to-do list.
Start by saying “God, Thank You.”
Your first purpose is to know God and to Love God.
(Matt.
22:37)
Worship is to focus your attention on God.
(Col.
3:2)
start a daily time with God.
Matt.
6:6
Develop a constant conversation with God.
Ps. 105.4
“When you fix your thoughts on God, God will fix your thoughts.”
Worship is using your abilities for God.
(Col.
3:23)
You don’t need to change your major to be a worshipper, you simply change who you are working for.
What matters is who you are doing it all for.
You can turn every bit of your work into worship.
It’s not just a church thing.
2.
You were formed for God’s family.
(Aka.
Fellowship) (Eph.
1:5)
The Church is the spiritual family by God.
We are not all God’s Children: Eph.
1:5
We are brought into God’s family by Jesus Christ.
We all have family responsibilities.
The main responsibility is to learn to love the other family members.
John 13:34-35
The main reason is not so we can be happy, but so that God would be glorified.
The church is the laboratory for learning how to love.
4 levels of fellowship:
The fellowship of Sharing together (Acts 2:44)
Share experiences 1 Cor.
14:26
Share Support
The fellowship of Belonging together
Being committed to each other:
The difference between being a spectator, and being a participator.
You cannot fulfill God’s purposes without being a part of God’s family.
The fellowship of serving together:
Ex.
The brotherhood of combat veterans.
God never meant for you to serve God alone.
Eccl.
4:9
You don’t need a superstar.
Team players are the key.
God can do great things through people who don’t care who gets the credit.
The fellowship of suffering together.
(Gal.
6:2)
When you share with someone who is sufferring, it is going to draw you closer to them.
Sufferring is humanizing and unifying.
Relationships are more important that accomplishments.
3.
You were created to become like Christ.
(Aka.
Sanctification) (Rom.
8:28-29)
2 Obvious means God uses to make us like Christ:
The Word of God: The Bible.
Other people in God’s family.
3 Other means that God uses, that seem bad(Rom.
8:28)
God uses trouble to teach us to trust Him.
(James 1:2-4)
God is far more interested in who you are than what you do.
Why me?
The goal is not comfort, it is character.
Every problem has a purpose.
What purpose?
That you would become like Christ.
In eternity, there will be a reward for faithfully enduring troubles (James 1:12)
God uses temptation to make us more like Jesus… if we cooperate with Him.
(1 Cor.
10:12-13)
Every time we obey God, we take a step in our spiritual growth.
Every time we are tempted, we have a choice.
Temptations are designed by the devil to draw us away from God; but when we choose to obey God, they are used to draw us closer to God.
It is not a sin to be tempted.
“You can’t keep the birds from flying over your head, but you can keep them from building a nest in your hair.”
You are not alone in your temptation: Everyone is tempted in power, greed, lust, anger, revenge.
It all comes down to who you love the most. 1 Cor.
10:12
God will always provide a way out of temptation: 1 Cor.
10:13
God uses trespasses to teach us to forgive
Trespasses: Situations designed by other people to hurt us.
Sometimes intentionally, sometime unintentionally.
This is the most important thing in becoming like Christ.
It included being misunderstood.
It involved being hurt.
It involves being judged.
It involves sometimes being abused.
… and still forgivng.
You can’t learn to forgive, unless somebody hurts you.
Two Suggestions:
Remember that God has forgiven you (Eph.
4:32)
Remember that God is in control.
Josephs first 40 years were horrible.
