When you take a good thing and try to make it an ultimate thing eventually it results in disastrous things and makes us lesser things, lesser people than God designed for us to be.

What does it mean to be Hungry for God.

The invitation for all of us in this series is to cultivate a deeper hunger—a hunger for God that is worth building your life around and that can and will make you strong to endure anything that life might throw at you.

In moments of great need and in every other moment, what we most truly long for is God, and when we pursue God with passion, determination, and longing, all the other things that we long for: peace, family, satisfaction, relief, rest, and the list goes on, find their proper place in our lives and be satisfied to the right measure and at the right times.

Sermon series on cultivating a hunger for God. We can long/hunger for God and bring our other longings to God

And apart from some intentional spiritual and emotional work, most of us are going to hunger for a very narrow range of things: Applause. Approval. Success. Control. Money. Comfort. Convenience. Adventure. Independence. God hard-wired each of us up with a hunger for Himself When we settle for less than God we miss what we were designed to run on and we do not have the strength that he created us to have.

Even though it seems crazy and even though the journey is not easy: the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain where Jesus had told them to go.

Spiritual Power in everyday places can meet resistance. When we live into the Spiritual Authority we’ve been given and bring Spiritual Power to everyday places, people will start to think of us when they have a spiritual question or need. We’ll get to point them to God.

in Jesus and because of Jesus and through Jesus: -you are more powerful than you now see or know -but you need to see it and know it -in part because you’re up against more and different kinds of opposition than you can see or know

Jesus has given us everything we need to continually carry Spiritual Power into every place, situation, and relationship we find ourselves in, even when there is opposition.
