The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn’t exist.”

Revelation 20:3

Big Idea: Satan is dangerous, but he is defeated.

1. Satan is real. Don’t dismiss him. Revelation 20:71 Peter 5:8-9

2. Satan is deceptive. Don’t believe him. Revelation 20:8Jeremiah 17:9Ezekiel 36:26-271 Corinthians 6:19-20Luke 9:232 Corinthians 7:10

When the devil tells us we are sinners and therefore damned, we may answer, “Because you say I am a sinner, I will be righteous and saved.” Then the devil will say, “No, you will be damned.” And I will reply, “No, for I fly to Christ, who has given himself for my sins. Therefore, Satan, you will not prevail against me when you try to terrify me by telling me how great my sins are and try to reduce me to heaviness, distrust, despair, hatred, contempt and blasphemy. On the contrary, when you say I am a sinner, you give me armor and weapons against yourself, so that I can cut your throat with your own sword and tread you under my feet, for Christ died for sinners. . . . It is on his shoulders, not mine, that all my sins lie, for ‘the Lord has laid on him the iniquity of us all’ (Isa. 53:6). So when you say I am a sinner, you do not terrify me but comfort me immeasurably.”

Romans 8:1Ephesians 6:17

3. Satan is limited. Don’t fear him.Revelation 20:9Matthew 16:18

4. Satan is doomed. Don’t follow him. Revelation 20:101 John 3:8 Genesis 3:15

Big Idea: Satan is dangerous, but he is defeated.

Jesus, save the lost and guide the saved.

But there is not one of these transformations in which the heart is left without an object. The heart’s desire for an ultimate object may be conquered, but it’s desire to have SOME object is unconquerable. The only way to dispossess the heart of an old affection is through the expulsive power of a new one.”

The post Attention Please! appeared first on Grace Point Church in Las Vegas.

Big Idea: Our lives follow our loves.

Matthew 22:37-39Matthew 6:21

Big Idea: Our time and energy reveal our loves.

Luke 10:38Luke 10:39Luke 10:40

Big Idea: Our time and energy reveal our loves.

Luke 10:40

This book is an exploration of a feeling. That caught-by-the-throat feeling so many mothers have today of always doing something wrong. And it’s about a conviction I have that this feeling—this widespread, choking cocktail of guilt and anxiety and resentment and regret—is poisoning motherhood for American women today. Lowering our horizons and limiting our minds. Sapping energy that we should have for ourselves and our children. And drowning out thoughts that might lead us, collectively, to formulate solutions. The feeling has many faces, but it doesn’t really have a name. It’s not depression. It’s not oppression. It’s a mix of things, a kind of too-muchness. An existential discomfort. A mess.”

Luke 10:41Luke 10:42

Big Idea: Our time and energy reveal our loves.

Matthew 22:37-39

Big Idea: Our time and energy reveal our loves.

Ephesians 5:15-17Luke 10:42Matthew 22:37-39

We cannot do everything; there is not enough time. Like Mary, therefore, we shall have to choose and choose very deliberately. Life’s affairs will not automatically sort themselves into a true order of priorities. If we do not consciously insist on making “sitting at the Lord’s feet and listening to his word” our number one necessity, a thousand and one other things and duties, all claiming to be prior necessities, will tyrannize our time and energies and rob us of the “good part” in life.”

Galatians 2:20

But there is not one of these transformations in which the heart is left without an object. The heart’s desire for an ultimate object may be conquered, but it’s desire to have SOME object is unconquerable. The only way to dispossess the heart of an old affection is through the expulsive power of a new one.”

1 John 4:19

1. What is getting most of my time?2. Who / What is getting the best of my energy?3. What “many things” are crowding my life4. How can my time and energy reflect a greater love for Jesus?

“The Explusive Power of a New Affection” by Thomas Chalmers

Jesus, I recognize that I am a sinner in need of Your forgiveness. I believe that You died on the cross for my sins and rose from the dead. I turn from my sins and place my trust in You as my Lord and Savior. Please receive me now. I pray this in Jesus’ name, Amen.
