                                    Sermon Series:  X FactorSermon Title: Altered DestinySpeaker: Andy BrattonBig Idea:  When we accept Jesus into our lives as Lord and Savior, our eternal future is altered.

                                    Matthew 1:18-21,24

                                      A humble tradesman boldly followed instructions.

                                          1. Altered Perspective

                                            Sermon Series:  X FactorSermon Title: Altered PerspectiveSpeaker: Andy BrattonBig Idea:  When Jesus is a part of our life, our perspective changes from being inward to outward.

                                            Luke 1:26-35; Matthew 13:53-56; Mark 6:3

                                              Born to a virgin, raised by a tradesman.

                                                The leader of the lowly and the hopegiver to the hopeless.

                                                  He left with a charge to change the world with a changed perspective.

                                                  The announcement of Jesus into this world is not about lights, it’s about lives.

                                                  Sermon Series:  X FactorSermon Title: Altered CircumstancesSermon Scripture: Matthew 1:18-25; Matthew 2Speaker: Andy BrattonBig Idea:  The addition of Jesus into this world and God’s plan brought tension.  Dealing with the tension that is Jesus is surrendering to His will.

                                                  Matthew 1:1-6

                                                    There was tension in his family tree.

                                                    Question 1 – How can our past cause tension in our present?  How can we deal with it?

                                                    Matthew 1:18-25

                                                      There was tension with his mother and earthly father.

                                                      Question 2 – Share how pride can cause someone to make a bad decision.

                                                      Matthew 2:1-8,16

                                                        There was tension with his “king.”

                                                        Question 3 – Why do you think Herod was threatened by Jesus?

                                                        Matthew 2:7-12

                                                          There was tension with his seekers.

                                                          Question 4 – Have you ever been caught in the middle of an awkward situation?  How did you handle it?

                                                          Matthew 2:13,19-23

                                                            There was tension with his protection.

                                                            Question 5 – Share about a time when you were afraid or nervous to obey God.

                                                            Tension is released when we talk with God, obey God, and put Jesus first.

                                                            Have someone at the table read 1 Corinthians 11:24-26.  Have someone else pray.  Take communion together.

                                                                              20:1-2

                                                                                20:3-4
