Message: “Master, what shall we do?”

Text: 2 Kings 6:8-23

2 Corinthians 4:18

“Master, what shall we do?” Direction or Desperation?

Acts 9:6

We are always walking in on what God is already doing. The work of God did not start with you and it will not end with you.

You don’t get to see angels out of curiosity, you see them out of need.

Message: The Gospel according to Matthew

Text: Matthew 3:13-17

Humility

Our humility before God is seeing who He is, seeing who we really are and never forgetting our need.

Philippians 2:5-8

God’s humility toward us is identifying with us and our sin.

2 Corinthians 5:21

Galatians 3:13

Real ministry is identifying with those you are trying to reach.

We are loved by virtue of whose we are, not what we have done.

Romans 2:4

Message: The Gospel according to Matthew

Text: Matthew 3:13-15, 28:1-10, 18-20

From beginning to eternity

Adrian Rogers, "If Christ didn't die on a cross, wasn't buried in a tomb, and doesn't live today, nothing matters. If Christ did die a horrible death on a cross, was buried in a borrowed tomb, and did rise again on the third day, nothing else matters."

Romans 8:29

Can’t remember who said it, “The thing about life is that it ends.”

“In one sentence, the reality of the outside world had shattered the artificial world of the theater production. Suddenly, whatever action took place onstage seemed superficial and irrelevant.”

Message: The Gospel according to Matthew

Text: Matthew 3:11

Immersed in the Holy Spirit

Acts 1:4-8

Water baptism is an event. Spirit baptism is a life long process.

Water baptism done slowly leads to death. Spirit baptism done slowly leads to death.

Being baptized in The Spirit is not about you getting more of the Holy Spirit, but the Holy Spirit getting more of you.

John 15:5

Romans 8:5

Message: The Gospel according to Matthew

Text: Matthew 3:1-10  

What difference does it make?  

Who has God called you to be? Who has God called you to reach?

Not everyone will respond.

You can’t lead them if you need them.

They need you to be you…not them.

Message: The Gospel according to Matthew

Text: Matthew 3:1-12  

God’s Ministers  

You will minster from your brokenness, not your strength. From your repentance not your pride.  

You will never minister to other people if you just go to watch other people—if you feel superior to them.  

Be careful when you think the story no longer concerns you.  

Luke 18:10-13

Message: The Gospel according to Matthew

Text: Matthew 2:19-23

God’s Guidance

Psalm 119:105

Acts 2:17

God is not staying just ahead of evil, but rather, evil cannot keep up with God.

“Experiencing God”-Henry Blackaby

~God’s Word

~Prayer—John 10. A voice that at times, sounds like yours. A voice that sounds like The Shepherd.

Beware of just an emotional response.

A strong impression upon the soul that is consistent and persistent.

~Circumstances

~The Church (wise, Godly counsel)

Communion

Message: Enough is Enough Text: John 6

What is your need?

What is your desire?

What is enough?

What is your prayer?
