Summit’s series on sharing our grace stories continued this week. Jason’s voice may have faltered a bit but his message did not.
Snippets follow, but I encourage you to listen to the sermon in its entirety when it’s posted Tuesday/Wednesday.
———————
Jason began by reminding us that there are many doomsday people out there but we’re to remember that nothing thwarts God’s plans. Nothing! (Job 42:2) We are not to put our hope in the wrong kingdom.
Luke 10:1-20
- To follow Jesus means to be on His mission, with His message, and the right motivation. We now have a church culture focused on me, my issues, my needs.
- Jesus says to His followers: I’ve given you a story of grace and there are needs out there that only you can meet. You’ve been sent. You’re on a mission with a message. Your grace story matters.
- Don’t rejoice in your ministry or significance. If you rejoice in anything you do, you’ll end up disappointed. Everything we say and do should be Gospel motivated.
- The Gospel is the love you’ve been searching for.
Sharing snippets from such a powerful sermon is a challenge, to say the least. I hope you’ll stop by for the entire sermon on Summit’s site.
Prepare to be blessed!
Cathy,
This is so good and so true – I think it's easy sometimes for us to forget that we are his vessel and to partner with God in this ministry of reconciliation (2Cor12). We certainly can get too focused on us and forget to share the redemption and hope we have in Him with others. 😉
Thanks for blessing us with these words.
Much Love, Hester 😉
Hester, thank you for the blessing of your time, especially during such a busy week.
I pray you and your family will celebrate Thanksgiving in such a way that the memory will linger in your children's hearts and minds for a lifetime.
The Gospel is the love you've been looking for. Wow, Cathy – nothing is more true!
I'm taking a quick breather from puzzles, potatoes and pot-washing 🙂 Hope y'all have a fabulous Thanksgiving!!
