Pastor David shares Sunday in Dickinson.
Last week, we looked at some basics of covenant: that a covenant is more
than a contract, which has an end date and is an exchange of one thing for
another, such as finances in exchange for labor and materials. A covenant is
an unending agreement, broken only by the death of one of the two parties,
and is an exchange not of a portion of one’s life, but an exchange of the
entirety of the lives of both who are entering the covenant.
1. Revealing a Friend: Treasure in Clay Jars
2 Corinthians 4:7 (TPT) We are like common clay jars that carry this
glorious treasure within, so that the extraordinary overflow of power will
be seen as God’s, not ours.
2. Why me? God chose you to be His tupperware! 1 Corinthians 4:5-7
3. Conclusion: we are working together with the Holy Spirit!
a. We labor with Him: Mark 16:20 (NKJV) And they went out and preached
everywhere, the Lord working with them and confirming the word through
the accompanying signs. Amen.
b. We labor together: Ephesians 4:15-16 (NKJV) but, speaking the truth in love,
may grow up in all things into Him who is the head—Christ— [16] from
whom the whole body, joined and knit together by what every joint supplies,
according to the effective working by which every part does its share, causes
growth of the body for the edifying of itself in love.
