Title:  Paradigm Shift

Scripture:  Luke 22:14-20 (NLT)

Big Idea:  With God, There Is Always More Than Meets The Eye…

Big Idea: When God Get You Out, Don't Go Back!

If you were to completely lose your sight, what would you miss seeing the most? When sight is restored and understanding is received, we must not return to the places where we were blind/blinded…When God gets you out, don't go back!

Big Idea: God doesn't ask us for anything we don't have, but He does ask us for everything we do have!

Soutridge welcomes Ken Love to speak to us this week. Are you ready for our church to Grow? The answer is Yes or No.

This weekend we will consider the Christian belief that any glory or honor that comes our way should be passed on to God not hoarded for ourselves.This leads us to the question, "What would be most honoring to God?"

Matthew 5:14-16 provides the context for this question.

Asking this question will likely result in doing things that the world thinks are crazy, but will give us many opportunities to bring glory and honor to our heavenly Father.

This week we are focusing on the third question:   "Is there a tension that needs my attention?"

Often times, one of the options we are considering has a subtle moral or ethical tension.

When the tension arises, we must learn to pause and maximize it rather than minimizing it and brushing it off.

All of us can think of a time in our life when we ignored that tension…

 1 Sam. 24:1-15 contains a story that illustrates the power of this principle perfectly.

David's tension: Should I try to replace what God has put in place?

Don’t make a choice that forces you to live with the tension you ignored.  Always ask yourself, "Is there a tension that needs my attention?"

At some point every decision you make will be part of the story you tell. Deep down we want to be able to tell our story!

Today we begin a new four-week series on Decision Making, titled YOUR MOVE.

Throughout life we regularly find ourselves forced to make a decision when time is compressed and information is limited.

We wil focus each week on one question you can ask yourself to help you make a good decision.
