Matthew 28:19-20
19 Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”
As you go
- Jesus story ready- One simple Jesus story
- The word on your heart ready on your lips- The verse you would share before any other
- The conversion that has become a transform- The hope you have received and are clinging too
Matthew 6:9-11
9 “This, then, is how you should pray: “‘Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name, 10 your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. 11 Give us today our daily bread.
Daily bread
Not weekly
Yearly
One and done
1 Peter 2:11
11 Dear friends, I urge you, as foreigners and exiles, to abstain from sinful desires, which wage war against your soul.
The world offers something…
It wages against our souls
What the world craves will kill the soul
Philippians 3:8-20
8 For, as I have often told you before and now tell you again even with tears, many live as enemies of the cross of Christ. 19 Their destiny is destruction, their god is their stomach, and their glory is in their shame. Their mind is set on earthly things. 20 But our citizenship is in heaven. And we eagerly await a Savior from there, the Lord Jesus Christ
With tears…
Their god is their hunger pains
Shame will be their glory
Citizens of Heaven who hunger for something else
Hebrews 11:13
13 All these people were still living by faith when they died. They did not receive the things promised; they only saw them and welcomed them from a distance, admitting that they were foreigners and strangers on earth.
All those of Faith from a distance
Before and After
This is not the world I was made for
Luke 9:23
23 Then he said to them all: “Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross daily and follow me.
Walk away from what the world promises
trust me in your suffering
and follow
John 15:1-4
“I am the true vine, and my Father is the gardener. 2 He cuts off every branch in me that bears no fruit, while every branch that does bear fruit he prunes so that it will be even more fruitful. 3 You are already clean because of the word I have spoken to you. 4 Remain in me, as I also remain in you. No branch can bear fruit by itself; it must remain in the vine. Neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in me.
A connected life to Jesus
Fruitful and life giving
2 Corinthians 4:16-18
16 Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. 17 For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. 18 So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.
Jesus never wastes suffering
Submitted and surrendered
Pain is in the hand of the risen merciful savior
John 6:35
35 Then Jesus declared, “I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never go hungry, and whoever believes in me will never be thirsty.
I believe this is salvation from death
I also believe it is relational
You are either connected to the world or connected to Jesus daily
You can live off yesterday's bread for long
You cannot give todays bread if you have not received it
