What excites you?
Some people will get excited about everything but the things of God.
Acts 20:16-38
Here we see an example of real Christianity…
Be invested emotionally (sometimes to the point of tears)
Don’t hold back. Care enough to share. Get in the mix.
Lamentations 2:1-22
The Lord caused much suffering because of their lack of obedience – don’t let that happen to you.
Sometimes sermons need to bring about repentance.
There is no victory in Christ without truth.
We can’t move on if we don’t get it right.
Ephesians 4:1-32
The job of a pastor is to perfect the saints. Not to reinforce spiritual mediocrity.
Colossians 1:25-30
It is not okay for Sally to be right, but Terry be wrong as it concerns their walk with the Lord.
“As long as you go to Church” won’t get anybody to Heaven.
Colossians 4:12
Have a life that speaks of your zeal for living in Christ and loving His ways.
Isaiah 30:9-11
It isn’t hard to see who is real and who is inactive in the will of God.
(back to Acts 20)
Don’t be ruled by fear. Be governed by Faith.
*something else to think about this week: don’t make it hard on your pastor
1 Thessalonians 5:11-13
Hebrews 13:16-21
