We Are Here, Part 1

0 Comments

Today I preached the first message of a three-part series that looks at our purpose as Christians and as a church family. Based on the priorities Jesus established in Mark 12:28-34, my focus was on loving God and our response to Jesus’ greatest command.
                                                                     
Options:
  • Listen online or download an mp3 of the message.
  • Download a summary outline in PDF format.
  • Use the following questions to reflect on how to apply the message to your life:

1.  Are there any parts of your life that you have segmented into the spiritual and the non-spiritual, into “God’s part” and “my part”? What repentance is required to bring every aspect of your life under Jesus’ rule?

2.  In order to express your love for God, are there any areas of your life where you need to stop what you’re doing and repent of it?

3.  Where have you reduced your Christian life to a list of activities? How can you cry out to the Holy Spirit to fan into flame fresh affection and love for the Lord?


4.  Where have you grown cold in your love for God? Where have you turned from your first love? How can Jesus become your greatest treasure and dearest friend?


5.  If you asked those closest to you, what would they say you are most passionate about? How can you grow to be a passionate lover of God?
