Sermon Notes
UNSTOPPABLE IDIOTS BECOME UNSTOPPABLE.
OUR MISSION: LOVE, CONNECT AND GROW THROUGH KNOWING GOD AND SERVING OUR COMMUNITY.
It was (God) who gave some to be apostles, some to be prophets, some to be evangelists, and some to be pastors and teachers, to prepare God's people for works of ministry... Ephesians 4:11-12a
• GOD DOESN’T CALL THE PREPARED, BUT HE PREPARES THE CALLED.
When they saw the courage of Peter and John and realized that they were unschooled, ordinary men, they were astonished and they took note that these men had been with Jesus. Acts 4:13
idiotes (id-ee-o'-tace); an ignoramus, an ignorant or unlearned person, an idiot.
IDIOTS WHO HAVE BEEN WITH JESUS
1) GIVE THEIR WHOLE LIVES TO HIM.
When Simon Peter saw this, he fell at Jesus' knees and said, "Go away from me, Lord; I am a sinful man!"... Then Jesus said to Simon, "Don't be afraid; from now on you will catch men." So they pulled their boats up on shore, left everything and followed him. Luke 5:8, 10b-11
Therefore, in the present case I advise you: Leave these men alone! Let them go! For if their purpose or activity is of human origin, it will fail. 39 But if it is from God, you will not be able to stop these men; you will only find yourselves fighting against God."
• HOW DOES GOD WANT TO USE YOU TO PARTNER WITH OTHER BELIEVERS AT MIDDLE RIVER A/G?
Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen. Ephesians 3:20-21
THINK ABOUT IT.
1) We talked about how God doesn’t call the prepared, but He prepares the called. Describe a time used you to make a difference even though you felt unqualified.
2) Are you “all-in” spiritually? If not, what are you holding back from God?
3) How does God want you to partner with others at Middle River A/G?
