(2) TAKE IT IN – I’ve got to feel for others

GO FOR BROKE | Pt. 1

▼ We live in a world that teaches us to devote ourselves to ourselves, to look out for number one… yet, the life of the church is meant to be very different. - Instead of a life bent toward extortion looking to get and to gain, we’re called to a life of compassion looking to give and to serve

☛ A GIVER LOOKS OUT FIRST FOR OTHERS

☛ A GIVER LOOKS UP TO THE PROMISES OF GOD.

☛ A GIVER LIVES LIFE FOR THE GLORY OF GOD.

DIG IN | Resting

► If we don’t learn to rest in Him – 2 things can happen:
(1) Driven by performance – We make it more about what we can do vs what He has done.
(2) Lose your perspective – We lose sight of what God has said about us

▼ THE RESTING STARTS WHEN THE DOUBTING ENDS  (2 Cor. 5:17) They were inspired to seek God… To turn to God (Phil. 3:12) “Not that I have already attained, or am already perfected; but I press on, that I may lay hold of that for which Christ Jesus has also laid hold of me.”

▼ YOU HAVE A NEW START – You’re a brand new you (2 Cor. 5:17, 1 Cor. 6:9-11)
▼ YOU HAVE A NEW STATUS – You’re a child of God (1 John 3:1)

▼ IN CHRIST YOU ARE FORGIVEN  (Eph 1:7, Ps 103:12)
