EG.We consider our attendance.We commit through our worship.

Considering ourselves creates token resolutions and promises.Commitment to Jesus creates a character and a response that is eternal.

John 3:16 (NKJV)For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. ‘

God considered – He loved the World.God committed – He sent His son!

Everything we consider about Him is what we need to commit to.

We consider His word (token) we commit to His Word (obedience).We consider His peace (happy); we commit to His peace (joy).

What’s going into your hopper?Self or Jesus?

Commitment only comes through sacrifice.

Matthew 16:24-25 (TPT)Then Jesus said to his disciples, “If you truly want to follow me, you should at once completely reject and disown your own life. And you must be willing to share my cross and experience it as your own, as you continually surrender to my ways. For if you choose self-sacrifice and lose your lives for my glory, you will continually discover true life. But if you choose to keep your lives for yourselves, you will forfeit what you try to keep.

We Commit To Jesus

…Because of who He is.

Matthew 1:21-23 (TPT)She will give birth to a son and you are to name him ‘Savior,’ for he is destined to give his life to save his people from their sins.” This happened to fulfill what the Lord had spoken through his prophet: Listen! A virgin will be pregnant, she will give birth to a Son, and he will be known as “Emmanuel,” which means in Hebrew, “God became one of us.”

…Because of what He has done.

2 Timothy 1:9-10 (TPT)He gave us resurrection life and drew us to himself by his holy calling on our lives. And it wasn’t because of any good we have done, but by his divine pleasure and marvelous grace that confirmed our union with the anointed Jesus, even before time began! This truth is now being unveiled by the revelation of the anointed Jesus, our life-giver, who has dismantled death, obliterating all its effects on our lives , and has manifested his immortal life in us by the gospel.

…Because of what He will do.

Ephesians 3:20-21 (TPT)Never doubt God’s mighty power to work in you and accomplish all this.

He will outdo them all, for his miraculous power constantly energizes you. Now we offer up to God all the glorious praise that rises from every church in every generation through Jesus Christ—and all that will yet be manifest through time and eternity. Amen!

WHEN HIS COMMITMENT MEETS OURS2 Corinthians 9:6-8 (TPT)Here’s my point. A stingy sower will reap a meager harvest, but the one who sows from a generous spirit will reap an abundant harvest. Let giving flow from your heart, not from a sense of religious duty. Let it spring up freely from the joy of giving—all because God loves hilarious generosity! Yes, God is more than ready to overwhelm you with every form of grace, so that you will have more than enough of everything —every moment and in every way. He will make you overflow with abundance in ev
