Hillcrest Church Audio

What’s the story?

A lot of you took some time to reflect on the past year and decade and made notes.
* Do you notice things you would have done differently? Conversations, decisions, etc...
* What if you could take all of that insight from the past decade and use it to make the next decade better?
* Wisdom is God’s answer to virtually all of life’s decisions.
* Wisdom is living every present moment intentionally, recognizing we are standing in the shadow of our future.

Jesus is building something—in you, in us, in Hillcrest.
* Wisdom is going to be our foundation.

MAP vs. COMPASS

* In life we often ask God to give us a MAP.
* Go here, visit there, spend here, save there, say yes here, say no there, move there...
* But that’s all INFORMATION. Info is everywhere and it is not very valuable anymore.

Wisdom is different from information in that wisdom draws INSIGHT from the information you have.

MYRRH - Represents Jesus’s death.

—> "THE WORD COMES FROM A HEBREW ROOT MEANING BITTER.”
* It was an oxymoron, because of it’s name coming from bitterness but everyone around it describing it as sweet.
* Just like the death of Jesus, which was a bitter event for Jesus but produces the sweetest, most beautiful, brilliant life for us.

What are the signs of Jesus cooking up something?

In Jesus’s culture, frankincense had a very special use in worship.
It was extremely valuable, possibly even more valuable than gold.

Of the 5 Main types of offerings God accepted in the OT, this was the most special.
* It carried the meaning that all we have belongs to God.
* That is the heart of worship.

The thing about the fruit Jesus wants to produce in us…EVERYONE BENEFITS FROM YOUR FRUIT.

* Can you imagine what our world would look like right now if people were more loving, joyful, peaceful, patient, kind, good, faithful, gentle, and self-controlled?

* It all begins and happens with our own connection to Jesus.

The goal of Jesus’s presence in us is to CREATE MORE FRUIT.
Do you see the heart of Jesus’s work in you? It’s MORE.

APPLES take time outs.
* Before they produce fruit, they have to chill. Literally.
* Chill: cold, quiet, anonymous, dark, “unproductive.”
* Necessary for the health and maturity of the tree and fruit.
* If the tree during the chill is exposed to warmth too soon, the tree becomes susceptible to disease, and / or poor fruit.
* Be aware of being exposed to things too soon.

We need the “chill” too.
We need the same time out in order to be our best sometimes.

The self-controlled person has the wherewithal to say this is my limit and I am not going any further.

Have you ever seen someone act completely different in two different places?
Or the opposite, you meet someone and they’re the same everywhere there go?

Kind of like how an orange is both a fruit and the color is also named after it.
* It’s the same color, taste, and thing.
* We use one word to describe it in 3 ways.
* It’s always the same.

It’s the perfect example of something that is faithful. That's why we chose this fruit for faithfulness!
