                  1. You chose him?

                    Sermon Series:  Summerize

                    Sermon Title:  You chose him?

                    Sermon Scripture: Genesis 11:27-32

                    Speaker: Andy Bratton

                    Big Idea:  God’s plan started with the calling of the right man at the right time for His purpose.

                    Why did God choose Abram? (Genesis 12:1-3)

                      Abram was gracious (Genesis 13:5-9)
                      Abram was a warrior (Genesis 14:10-12)
                      Abram was hospitable (Genesis 18:1-8)

                      But…

                        Abram deceived (Genesis 12:11-13)
                        Abram showed a lack of faith (Genesis 15:2-3; Genesis 20:1-2)
                        Abram showed a lack of leadership (Genesis 16:1-2)

                        So why did God choose Abram for His plan?

                        Genesis 11:27-32

                        God chose Abram because he was Christ-like.

                      1. Deflection

                        Sermon Series:  Summerize

                        Sermon Title:  Deflection

                        Sermon Scripture: Genesis 1-11

                        Speaker: Andy Bratton

                        Big Idea:  We were supposed to reflect God’s image not deflect it.  When we embrace who He made us to be we reflect Him.  When we look in the mirror for ourselves instead of Him we deflect his image.

                          God created man
                            Genesis 1:24-28; 2:7
                            What does it tell us about God?
                              Genesis 2:18
                              Genesis 2:19-20
                              What does it tell us about man?
                              Man and God’s relationship?
                                God gave instructions
                                Man was expected to obey
                                Man chose to sin
                                  Genesis 3:1-5
                                  Genesis 3:6
                                  Sin brought death – Romans 5:12
                                    Genesis 3:19
                                    Genesis 4:8
                                    Genesis 6:5-7
                                    Death caused separation
                                      Genesis 3:22-24
                                      Isaiah 59:1-2
                                      2 Thess. 1:8-9
                                      Separation created a need for a solution
                                        2 Peter 2:9-10
                                        Genesis 3:21
                                        Genesis 6:13
                                        Genesis 11:31

                                        The first 11 chapters and 2,000 years of the world’s existence, set the stage for God’s great pursuit of his crowning achievement; man who was made to reflect Him from the beginning, but chose to deflect Him in his own pursuit of deity.

                                      1. God has the Details!
                                        Sermon Title:  God has the Details!
                                        Sermon Scripture: Acts 8:26-40
                                        Speaker: Mark McCool

                                        The details are not my business. Details belong to God. My business is obedience.

                                        God’s purpose has no boundaries.

                                        God always gives exactly what we need at the exact right moment. 

                                        I am here today because of God’s detailed plan for me.

                                        There are two kinds of people here today:

                                            Our need for hope

                                          • Unrelenting Compassion

                                            Sermon Series:  Destination Jesus

                                            Sermon Title:  Unrelenting Compassion

                                            Sermon Scripture: See Below

                                            Big Idea:  The compassion we are to show is modeled by our mothers but described and instructed by our Father.

                                            Ephesians 4:32

                                            Matthew 1:21-23

                                              Jesus’ birth was God’s compassion toward a sin-filled world.

                                              Mark 6:34; Mark 8:2; Matthew 5:1-12

                                                Jesus developed within us His will for our lives with His compassion toward us.

                                                Matthew 28:19-20; Matthew 25; James 1:27

                                                  Jesus launched us with instructions on having compassion toward others.

                                                  Romans 5:8; Luke 23:34

                                                    Jesus left us a legacy, defining compassion in how He laid down his life for us.

                                                    Compassion is a part of Jesus’ ministry, His model, and His mission.

                                                    Sermon Series:  Destination Jesus

                                                    Sermon Title:  Uncommon Unity

                                                    Sermon Scripture: 1 Peter

                                                    Big Idea:  We want to arrive at Destination Jesus united as believers who uncommonly stand in the face of persecution and uncommonly love one another.

                                                    John 17:23

                                                    1 Peter 1:1-2

                                                      We are united by a common belief and an uncommon cleansing.
                                                        1 Peter 1:18-19

                                                        1 Peter 2:9-10

                                                          We are united by a calling and uncommonly proclaim the goodness of God.
                                                            Psalm 145:8-9

                                                            1 Peter 2:13-17

                                                              Living in uncommon unity is living freely as slaves of Jesus.

                                                              1 Peter 3:8-12

                                                                Uncommon unity has one mind in Christ Jesus.
                                                                  Philippians 2:1-2

                                                                  1 Peter 4:7-11

                                                                    Uncommon unity is using giftedness to elevate the body not the individual.

                                                                    1 Peter 4:12-19

                                                                      Uncommon unity suffers for the sake of the destination.
                                                                        James 1:2-4

                                                                        1 Peter 5:5-11,14

                                                                          Uncommon unity starts with humility, is strengthened in resistance, is victorious in suffering, and identified by peace.

                                                                          The post Uncommon Unity appeared first on Kalkaska Church of Christ.
