A Recap on Part 2: Navigating from the sermon series You Were Meant For This at Clarity Church.
There is nothing more frustrating than knowing where you
want to go, but not knowing how to get there.
We call this being lost. But what
if the problem of navigating from “where we are” to “where God wants
us to be” is less obvious than we think? Let’s take a look at what we
discussed this past week.
How do we navigate the problem of “where we are” isn’t
where we want to be?
1. The PROBLEM may be that we don’t know what the PROBLEM
may be.
I do not understand what I do. For what I want to do I do
not do, but what I hate I do.
-Romans 7:15
2. Navigating from “where you are” to where you hope to
be is not found in a “DO” but in a “WHO”
Who will rescue me…
-Romans 7:24
3. A life in CHRIST is free to live out God’s VALUE for
your life.
Thanks be to God, who delivers me through Jesus Christ
our Lord!
-Romans 7:25
4. In Christ, what is true of CHRIST is true of YOU
Or don’t you know that all of us who were baptized into
Christ Jesus were baptized into his death?
-Romans 6:3
MEMORY VERSE:
Hebrews 12:1b-2a
..let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin
that so easily entangles. And let us run with endurance the race that is set
before us, looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith
When we allow God to set the value our lives we change
our thinking about who we are.
When we allow Christ to be the Lord of our lives we
change the spiritual condition of who we are.
Already tried the “Jesus thing” out and it
“didn’t work for you?” Did you
“give your heart to Jesus” but it seemed to not make a bit of
difference in changing your life? In
part 3 we will look at the single most significant thing you can do to succeed
at living a growing life of faith. In
fact, it is impossible to have a growing faith without understanding what you
were geared for. But now I’m getting
ahead of myself. Stay tuned for part 3.
