  • Notes

    Everyone wants to experience the “good life.”


    Good Life:

    Looking Good
    Having Good
    Feeling Good


    Power

    Wealth
    Beauty
    Privilege
    Talent
    Willpower
    Pleasure
    Strength
    Intelligence
    Prestige


    Our filter distorts: Self-preservation-Self-gratification-Self-image


    We chase the ‘good life’ in a way that has been repeatedly proven to harm ourselves and others.


    Everyone is born into a world where the normal ‘way’ to a good life is broken.


    From that time on Jesus began to preach, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven has come near.”

    “Come, follow me,” Jesus said…
    - Matthew 4: 17 & 19


    Jesus told him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one can come to the Father except through me.”

    - John 14: 6


    …and he began to teach them. “Blessed are the poor in spirit…Blessed are those who mourn…Blessed are the meek …Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness …”

    - Matthew 5: 2-10


    “Blessed are the merciful …Blessed are the pure in heart …Blessed are the peacemakers …Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness …”

    - Matthew 5: 2-10


    World’s Way:

    Power
    Wealth
    Beauty
    Privilege
    Talent
    Willpower
    Pleasure
    Strength
    Intelligence
    Prestige

    Jesus’ Way:

    Humility
    Compassion
    Meekness
    Serving
    Merciful
    Generosity
    Purity
    Peaceful
    Faithful


    From that time on Jesus began to explain to his disciples that he must go to Jerusalem and suffer many things at the hands of the elders, the chief priests and the teachers of the law, and that he must be killed and on the third day be raised to life.

    - Matthew 16: 21-23


    Peter took him aside and began to rebuke him. “Never, Lord!” he said. “This shall never happen to you!”  Jesus turned and said to Peter, “Get behind me, Satan! You are a stumbling block to me.”

    - Matthew 16: 21-23


    Jesus’ way is often the opposite of the world’s way


    Jesus’ Way:

    Surrender
    Service
    Sacrifice

    Worlds’ Way:

    Self-preservation
    Self-gratification
    Self-image


    Admit change

    Self-centered to Christ-centered
    Love is the inspiration and destination
