What would happen if I gave God one year?

Grow you

Grow the church

Here’s where we’re going

Here’s who we are

Jeremiah 29:11-13 (NLT)  //  For I know the plans I have for you,” says the Lord. “They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope. 12 In those days when you pray, I will listen. 13 If you look for me wholeheartedly, you will find me.

I’ll never get the best of what God has to offer until I give God my best.

Exodus 33:1-3  //  Then the Lord said to Moses, “Leave this place, you and the people you brought up out of Egypt, and go up to the land I promised on oath to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, saying, ‘I will give it to your descendants.’ 2 I will send an angel before you and drive out the Canaanites, Amorites, Hittites, Perizzites, Hivites and Jebusites. 3 Go up to the land flowing with milk and honey. But I will not go with you, because you are a stiff-necked people and I might destroy you on the way.” If God gave you everything you ever wanted, but He withheld Himself, would you take that deal?

Exodus 33:4-18  //  4 When the people heard these distressing words, they began to mourn and no one put on any ornaments. 5 For the Lord had said to Moses, “Tell the Israelites, ‘You are a stiff-necked people. If I were to go with you even for a moment, I might destroy you. Now take off your ornaments and I will decide what to do with you.’” 6 So the Israelites stripped off their ornaments at Mount Horeb. 7 Now Moses used to take a tent and pitch it outside the camp some distance away, calling it the “tent of meeting.” Anyone inquiring of the Lord would go to the tent of meeting outside the camp. 8 And whenever Moses went out to the tent, all the people rose and stood at the entrances to their tents, watching Moses until he entered the tent. 9 As Moses went into the tent, the pillar of cloud would come down and stay at the entrance, while the Lord spoke with Moses. 10 Whenever the people saw the pillar of cloud standing at the entrance to the tent, they all stood and worshiped, each at the entrance to their tent. 11 The Lord would speak to Moses face to face, as one speaks to a friend. Then Moses would return to the camp, but his young aide Joshua son of Nun did not leave the tent. 12 Moses said to the Lord, “You have been telling me, ‘Lead these people,’ but you have not let me know whom you will send with me. You have said, ‘I know you by name and you have found favor with me.’ 13 If you are pleased with me, teach me your ways so I may know you and continue to find favor with you. Remember that this nation is your people.” 14 The Lord replied, “My Presence will go with you, and I will give you rest.” 15 Then Moses said to him, “If your Presence does not go with us, do not send us up from here. 16 How will anyone know that you are pleased with me and with your people unless you go with us? What else will distinguish me and your people from all the other people on the face of the earth?” 17 And the Lord said to Moses, “I will do the very thing you have asked, because I am pleased with you and I know you by name.” 18 Then Moses said, “Now show me your glory.”

What does it look like to be marked by God’s presence?

1. We’re growing in our awareness of His nearness.

Psalm 139:7-12  //  7 Where can I go from your Spirit?

Where can I flee from your presence?

8 If I go up to the heavens, you are there;

if I make my bed in the depths, you are there.

9 If I rise on the wings of the dawn,

if I settle on the far side of the sea,

10 even there your hand will guide me,

your right hand will hold me fast.

11 If I say, “Surely the darkness will hide me

and the light become night around me,”

12 even the darkness will not be dark to you;

the night will shine like the day

for darkness is as light to you.

2. We are growing in our hunger for God

3. We are transformed by His presence

2 Corinthians 3:16-18 (MSG)  //  Whenever, though, they turn to face God as Moses did, God removes the veil and there they are—face-to-face! They suddenly recognize that God is a living, personal presence, not a piece of chiseled stone. And when God is personally present, a living Spirit, that old, constricting legislation is recognized as obsolete. We’re free of it! All of us! Nothing between us and God, our faces shining with the brightness of his face. And so we are transfigured much like the Messiah, our lives gradually becoming brighter and more beautiful as God enters our lives and we become like him.

4. We are people of power.

Ephesians 3:12 (NLT)  //  Because of Christ and our faith in him, we can now come boldly and confidently into God’s presence.

Limited Promises

General Promises

Conditional

Malachi 3:10 (NIV)  //  “Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. Test me in this,” says the LORD Almighty, “and see if I will not throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing that there will not be room enough to store it.

Exodus 16:18  //  And when they measured it by the omer, the one who gathered much did not have too much, and the one who gathered little did not have too little. Everyone had gathered just as much as they needed.

No Condemnation

Romans 8:1 (NIV)  //  Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus

Condemnation is the opposite of justification

What would change for you if you lived like there was no condemnation?

Flesh vs. Spirit

Romans 8:5-6 (NIV)  //  Those who live according to the flesh have their minds set on what the flesh desires; but those who live in accordance with the Spirit have their minds set on what the Spirit desires. The mind governed by the flesh is death, but the mind governed by the Spirit is life and peace.

Just because we are saved does not mean we don’t struggle with sin

Galatians 5:24 (ESV)  //  “Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.”

Galatians 2:20 (ESV)  //  “I have been crucified with Christ, it is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me; and the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God who loved me and gave himself for me.”

Flesh wants to satisfy itself with legalism

Spirit takes surrender

What would it look like for you to live dead to flesh and alive in God’s spirit?

CHOSEN

Romans 8:14-17 (NIV)  //  For those who are led by the Spirit of God are the children of God. The Spirit you received does not make you slaves, so that you live in fear again; rather, the Spirit you received brought about your adoption to sonship. And by him we cry, “Abba, Father.”  The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are God’s children.  Now if we are children, then we are heirs—heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ, if indeed we share in his sufferings in order that we may also share in his glory.

You are not condemned, you are chosen

What would look like if I lived like I believed I was chosen?

FILLED

Romans 8:9-11 (NIV)  //  You, however, are not in the realm of the flesh but are in the realm of the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God lives in you. And if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, they do not belong to Christ. 10 But if Christ is in you, then even though your body is subject to death because of sin, the Spirit gives life because of righteousness. 11 And if the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead is living in you, he who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies because of his Spirit who lives in you.

Are you living like God’s spirit is in you?

What would change for you if you lived every day like the spirit that raised Jesus from the dead was inside of you?

ALL THINGS

Romans 8:28 (NIV)  //  And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love Him, who have been called according to His purpose.

Good doesn’t always look good

What would change for me if I lived like all the things were for my good?

Gospel

6,763 days

Marriage should be:

1. Covenantal

2. Mutual

3. Total

4. Sacrificial

5. Fruitful

Is marriage good or bad?

Romans 7:1-3 ESV  //  Or do you not know, brothers—for I am speaking to those who know the law—that the law is binding on a person only as long as he lives? 2 For a married woman is bound by law to her husband while he lives, but if her husband dies she is released from the law of marriage. 3 Accordingly, she will be called an adulteress if she lives with another man while her husband is alive. But if her husband dies, she is free from that law, and if she marries another man she is not an adulteress.

Are you married to the LAW or GRACE?

Romans 7:4-6  //  Likewise, my brothers, you also have died to the law through the body of Christ, so that you may belong to another, to him who has been raised from the dead, in order that we may bear fruit for God. 5 For while we were living in the flesh, our sinful passions, aroused by the law, were at work in our members to bear fruit for death. 6 But now we are released from the law, having died to that which held us captive, so that we serve in the new way of the Spirit and not in the old way of the written code.

Marriage Language:

1. Holy moment

2. New legal status

3. New name and life together

Romans 7:7-13  //  What then shall we say? That the law is sin? By no means! Yet if it had not been for the law, I would not have known sin. For I would not have known what it is to covet if the law had not said, “You shall not covet.” 8 But sin, seizing an opportunity through the commandment, produced in me all kinds of covetousness. For apart from the law, sin lies dead. 9 I was once alive apart from the law, but when the commandment came, sin came alive and I died. 10 The very commandment that promised life proved to be death to me. 11 For sin, seizing an opportunity through the commandment, deceived me and through it killed me. 12 So the law is holy, and the commandment is holy and righteous and good. 13 Did that which is good, then, bring death to me? By no means! It was sin, producing death in me through what is good, in order that sin might be shown to be sin, and through the commandment might become sinful beyond measure.

Purposes of the Law

1. Names our sin

2. Aggravates our rebellious, sinful nature

TEN COMMANDMENTS

You shall have no other gods before Me.

You shall not make idols.

You shall not take the name of the LORD your God in vain.

Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy.

Honor your father and your mother.

You shall not murder.

You shall not commit adultery.

You shall not steal.

You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.

You shall not covet.

In Christ, I am dead to the LAW and alive in the SPIRIT.

What is the purpose?

SPIRITUAL CLARITY

What is the central message?

THE GOSPEL OR GOOD NEWS

SIN

The goal of today is to move from sin MANAGEMENT to FREEDOM from sin.

Romans 6:1-2  //  What shall we say, then? Shall we go on sinning so that grace may increase? 2 By no means! We are those who have died to sin; how can we live in it any longer?

Romans 5:20  //  The law was brought in so that the trespass might increase. But where sin increased, grace increased all the more.

So, let’s define sin:

1 John 3:4  //  Everyone who sins breaks the law; in fact, sin is lawlessness.

SIN: Missing the mark

Sin is missing the MARK, whether intentionally or unintentionally, of God’s moral STANDARD or law as described in His word.

Five effects of sin:

1. Sin Separates

Isaiah 59:2  //  But, your antiquities have separated you from your God.

2. Sin leads to death

“Sin always overpromises on fun and underdelivers on fulfillment”

James 1:14-15  //  but each person is tempted when they are dragged away by their own evil desire and enticed. 15 Then, after desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, gives birth to death

3. Sin keeps us from God’s best.

Galatians 5:19-21  //  9 The acts of the flesh are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery; 20 idolatry and witchcraft; hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions 21 and envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I did before, that those who live like this will not inherit the kingdom of God.

4. Sin traps the sinner.

John 8:34  //  very truly I tell you, everyone who sins is a slave to sin.

5. Sin is a counterfeit.

Everything God has for you, the devil has a counterfeit.

Genesis 3:1  //  Now the serpent was craftier than any of the wild animals. He said to the woman, “Did God really say, ‘You must not eat from any tree in the garden’?”

How do we live a life free from sin?

1. Count yourself DEAD to sin.

Romans 1:1  //  What shall we say, then? Shall we go on sinning so that grace may increase? 2 By no means! We are those who have died to sin; how can we live in it any longer?

Romans 6:11  //  In the same way, count yourselves dead to sin but alive to God in Christ

Dead people have no:

Desires

Galatians 5:6  //  But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh.

Opinions

Feelings

Jeremiah 17:9  //  “The human heart is the most deceitful of all things, and desperately wicked.

Practical Atheism - acknowledges God by mouth, but denies him through action.

Romans 6:3-7  //  don’t you know that all of us who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? 4 We were therefore buried with him through baptism into death in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life.

God doesn’t call us to an improved life, but rather a NEW ONE!

5 For if we have been united with him in a death like his, we will certainly also be united with him in a resurrection like his. 6 For we know that our old self was crucified with him so that the body ruled by sin might be done away with, that we should no longer be slaves to sin— 7 because anyone who has died has been set free from sin.

How do we live a life free from sin?

2. You need a MAKEOVER.

Your identity changes when you become alive in Christ.

Romans 6:11  //  In the same way, count yourselves dead to sin but alive to God in Christ

IN SIN or IN CHRIST

Romans 5:12  //  Therefore, just as sin entered the world through one man, and death through sin, and in this way death came to all people, because all sinned

My identity is no longer in sin, it is in Christ.

How do we live a life free from sin?

3. Understand FREEDOM is meant for you.

Galatians 5:1  //  It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery.

Next steps to live free from sin:

Live in community

Cut it out

Repent often

What you feed grows, what you crave controls, but what starve dies.

Don’t walk around with the noose of shame and guilt.

1 John 1:9   //  If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.

Romans 5:8  //  But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

“Romans is the true masterpiece of the New Testament.” - Martin Luther

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.

Rejoice

Happiness is an inside job.

1. Rejoice in God

Romans 5:1-2  //  1 Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, 2 through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand. And we boast in the hope of the glory of God.

Justified: Moving from unrighteous to righteous

2. Rejoice in Hardship

Romans 5:3-4  //  3 Not only so, but we also glory in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; 4 perseverance, character; and character, hope. 5 And hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us.

Character is forged through hardship

You cannot decide what happens to you, but you can decide who you become.

1. We rejoice IN our sufferings,

2. knowing that suffering produces ENDURANCE

3. endurance produces CHARACTER

4. character produces HOPE,

5. and hope does not put us to shame

Leadership is about increasing your pain threshold.

The greater the pain, the greater the impact.

3. Rejoice in Relationship

The most important stuff in your life isn’t stuff, it is relationships.

Romans 5:6-11  //  6 You see, at just the right time, when we were still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly. 7 Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous person, though for a good person someone might possibly dare to die. 8 But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us. 9 Since we have now been justified by his blood, how much more shall we be saved from God’s wrath through him! 10 For if, while we were God’s enemies, we were reconciled to him through the death of his Son, how much more, having been reconciled, shall we be saved through his life! 11 Not only is this so, but we also boast in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received reconciliation.

1.. Who you were

2. How you were saved

3. Who you are now

So what?

Real people can be in real right standing with a real God.

Faith - firm persuasion, belief

Justification - Acquittal and Acceptance

Righteousness - Right standing with God

Principles of Righteousness

Righteousness doesn’t come from good works

Romans 4:1-3  //  What then shall we say that Abraham, our forefather according to the flesh, discovered in this matter? 2 If, in fact, Abraham was justified by works, he had something to boast about—but not before God. 3 What does Scripture say? “Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness.”

Righteousness doesn’t come from the right circumstances

Circumstance of Circumcision (v. 9-12)

Circumstance of the Law (v. 13-17)

Righteousness comes by faith in God

Romans 4:18-25  //  Against all hope, Abraham in hope believed and so became the father of many nations, just as it had been said to him, “So shall your offspring be.”[d] 19 Without weakening in his faith, he faced the fact that his body was as good as dead—since he was about a hundred years old—and that Sarah’s womb was also dead. 20 Yet he did not waver through unbelief regarding the promise of God, but was strengthened in his faith and gave glory to God, 21 being fully persuaded that God had power to do what he had promised. 22 This is why “it was credited to him as righteousness.” 23 The words “it was credited to him” were written not for him alone, 24 but also for us, to whom God will credit righteousness—for us who believe in him who raised Jesus our Lord from the dead. 25 He was delivered over to death for our sins and was raised to life for our justification.

God promised it. Abraham believed it. That settled it.

Romans 3:9  //  Well then, are we [Jews] better off than they? Not at all; for we have already charged that both Jews and Greeks (Gentiles) are under the control of sin and subject to its power.

Romans 3:19  //  Now we know that whatever the Law [of Moses] says, it speaks to those who are under the Law, so that [the excuses of] every mouth may be silenced [from protesting] and that all the world may be held accountable to God [and subject to His judgment].

Romans 3:20-26  //  For no person will be justified [freed of guilt and declared righteous] in His sight by [trying to do] the works of the Law. For through the Law we become conscious of sin [and the recognition of sin directs us toward repentance, but provides no remedy for sin].

BUT NOW

But now the righteousness of God has been clearly revealed [independently and completely] apart from the Law, though it is [actually] confirmed by the Law and the [words and writings of the] Prophets. This righteousness of God comes THROUGH FAITH in Jesus Christ for all those [Jew or Gentile] who believe [and trust in Him and acknowledge Him as God’s Son]. There is no distinction, since all have sinned and continually fall short of the glory of God, and are being justified [declared free of the guilt of sin, made acceptable to God, and granted eternal life] as a gift by His [precious, undeserved] grace, through the redemption [the payment for our sin] which is [provided] in Christ Jesus, whom God displayed publicly [before the eyes of the world] as a [life-giving] sacrifice of atonement and reconciliation (propitiation) by His blood [to be received] through faith. This was to demonstrate His righteousness [which demands punishment for sin], because in His forbearance [His deliberate restraint] He passed over the sins previously committed [before Jesus’ crucifixion]. It was to demonstrate His righteousness at the present time, so that He would be just and the One who justifies those who have FAITH in Jesus [and rely confidently on Him as Savior].

Only those who know what it is to be lost can fully appreciate what it means to be found

BUT NOW

Romans 3:23  //  For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God

Romans 1:25  //. …they traded the truth of God for a lie

3 key words:

JUSTIFICATION

REDEMPTION

PROPITIATION

Justification: the action of declaring or making righteous in the sight of God.

Romans 3:24  //  …and are being justified [declared free of the guilt of sin, made acceptable to God, and granted eternal life] as a gift by His [precious, undeserved] grace, through the redemption [the payment for our sin] which is [provided] in Christ Jesus.

Justification = Acquittal AND Acceptance

Acquittal means we’re not guilty

Acceptance means we are accepted

Acquittal means we’ve been saved from hell

Acceptance means we’ve been made a child of God

When God looks at you he sees the righteousness of His son.

Redemption-deliverance or release by the payment of a price

Romans 3:24b  //  …justified by his grace as a gift, through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus

Our ransom has been paid by the precious blood of Jesus

Mark 10:45  //  For even the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many

Propitiation-averting the wrath of God by the offering of a gift

Hebrews 2:17  //  Therefore he had to be made like his brothers in every respect, so that he might become a merciful and faithful high priest in the service of God, to make propitiation for the sins of the people

1 John 2:2  //  He [Jesus Christ] is the propitiation for our sins, and not for ours only but also for the sins of the whole world

1 John 4:10  //  In this is love, not that we have loved God but that he loved us and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins

NOW WHAT? How does this glorious reality become ours today?

Not by works, but by FAITH

Romans 3:22  //  This righteousness is given THROUGH FAITH in Jesus Christ to all who believe

Romans 3:25  //   The blessings of propitiation are to be received BY FAITH

Romans 3:26  //  God is shown to be just and the justifier of the one who has FAITH in Jesus

Romans 3:28  //  For we hold that one is justified BY FAITH apart from works of the law

Ephesians 2:8-9  //  For it is by grace [God’s remarkable compassion and favor drawing you to Christ] that you have been saved [actually delivered from judgment and given eternal life] THROUGH FAITH. And this [salvation] is not of yourselves [not through your own effort], but it is the [undeserved, gracious] gift of God; 9 not as a result of [your] works [nor your attempts to keep the Law], so that no one will [be able to] boast or take credit in any way [for his salvation].
