I don't care what your position/take is on missions (though the Bible makes it very clear what it should be), if you are a follower of Jesus Christ, you will find this sermon igniting. I highly recommend it - more so than others I have discussed on here.
Watch it when the kids take a nap, with your husbands after the kids go to bed (there I go making assumptions on who reads my blog - ha), or find it in podcast form and listen to it while you work out or drive, but LISTEN TO IT...you will be blessed by God speaking through this man.
This word from Revelations will refresh your soul and remind you how simple our life task was designed to be.
How the "purpose of life" is really just not that complicated.
How we should be chasing after one thing, not all these other meaningless desires of the flesh we think will make our lives richer, yet turn out to be complete let-downs...
How that ONE THING is to bring glory to God by furthering His Kingdom.
I was convicted, yet again, on how I spend my money...where I place my "treasures" (that really aren't my treasures at all)...how much I hang on to, yet how much of it could be used to further the Kingdom. Along these lines, Jason and I saw Rick Warren on the Pierce Morgan show the other night talking about how him and his wife do finances. He said ever since they got married, they have increased their tithing every single year. They started out at 10%, and some years could only increase .25% or so, but now, deep into their marriage, they are tithing 90-ish% of their income to the church. NINETY-SOMETHING PERCENT.
Lord, increase my faith.
(you should youtube his interview, as well - it was great).
Anyway, I know I've been MIA from this blog for a while, but in our Bible study this morning, I was inspired and refreshed with this sermon! I hope you can be too.
Jesus Christ...He reigns in power, love, and mercy. And He has defeated death and invites us into His eternal family to be a part of His spectacular work.
