Made for More

Introduction

October 6, 2019

Please turn in your Bibles to Ephesian 2 and John 10

Biblical Assumption 1: For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do. Ephesians 2:10

Biblical Assumption 2: “The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life and have it to the full.” John 10:10

Life to the Full: Exceeding/Overflowing

Emotional Assumption: A Restless Discontent

BE: Identity/Design: Who am I made to BE?

DO: Calling/Purpose: What am I made to DO?

To Be = Your Primary Calling: It’s about your relationship with God

To Do = Your Secondary Calling: What does God want me to do?

Challenge: Imagine life with both oars in the water

I pray that out of His glorious riches He may strengthen you with power through His Spirit in your inner being, 17 so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, 18 may have power, together with all the Lord’s holy people, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, 19 and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God. Ephesians 3:16-19

Danger: Avoid seeing this through selfish eyes

WHAT KEEPS US FROM LIFE TO THE FULL?

1: The noise

2: The scorecard

“But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all

these things will be given to you as well.” Matthew 6:33

3: Talent burying (Matthew 25:14-30)
