Seeking God- New Beginnings
SERMON OUTLINE NOTES:
Intro- New Year, God gives do-overs. Gotta take advantage of these opportunities, not stay stuck.
Possible to think you’re saved but not be?
Our culture preaches “tolerance”, everyone’s beliefs are equally valid, that everyone is going to heaven. Nothing from which J needs to save
Similar in that day- “all Jews saved”, chosen people despite actions/beliefs
Jesus started teaching something very different, so someone asked…
Luke 13:22-24 few saved, make every effort, we ate with you, I don’t know you
Like a doc giving bad news (CA)- can’t predict the future, but can give evidence and deal with the heart/needs
Great question, hard question.
We think “all dogs go to heaven”, not what J teaches
1. Door is narrow
“Every effort”- Gr “agonisthe”= to contend for a prize, struggle, described Olympic games, “agonize”
1986 research of Japanese mothers and Minneapolis mothers-rank the most important things that a child needs to succeed academically. Minneapolis “ability.” Japan “effort.”
Prosperity- perseverance > intelligence
“Do or do not, there is no try.” Yoda
Salvation is like phoning someone- gotta get the digits right, like a door- gotta have the right key
So what is the key?
2.v25- there’s a time limit
airplane leaving, better be there before the door closes
Think God doesn’t mean it? Imagine being one of the people that didn’t enter the ark.
Why does J say these things, bec he really cares and wants us to get there.
What if you were given $1440.00 at the start of each day to use as you see fit, the only stipulation being that you must give back what you haven’t spent by the end of the day? # minutes, God has invested much more preciously than $.
3. Expect big surprises- v26-27
Is your rel with God an acquaintance or “love with all your heart, soul, mind and strength”?
Ex. Met Robin Williams, Christopher Reeve- “I know you”, “I don’t know you.”
Ex. “how’s your marriage doing?” Ask H.
How would God describe your rel?
Inventory- who/what is first in your life?
Addictions- become/supercede God
Who is on the cross, and who is on the throne
Jesus isn’t saying this stuff to leave us scared, but bec he loves us and wants us to be motivated to be with him for eternity.
Deuteronomy 4:28-31
worship man-made gods- What do we worship today?
“American Idol”- new meaning
find him if you look with all heart/soul
The story is told that Andrew Jackson’s boyhood friends just couldn’t understand how he became a famous general and then the President of the United States. They knew of other men who had greater talent but who never succeeded. One of Jackson’s friends said, “Why, Jim Brown, who lived right down the pike from Jackson, was not only smarter but he could throw Andy three times out of four in a wrestling match. But look where Andy is now.” Another friend responded, “How did there happen to be a fourth time? Didn’t they usually say three times and out?” “Sure, they were supposed to, but not Andy. He would never admit he was beat — he would never stay ‘throwed.’ Jim Brown would get tired, and on the fourth try Andrew Jackson would throw him and be the winner.” Picking up on that idea, someone has said, “The thing that counts is not how many times you are ‘throwed,’ but whether you are willing to stay ‘throwed’.” We may face setbacks, but we must take courage and go forward in faith. Then, through the Holy Spirit’s power we can be the eventual victor over sin and the world. The battle is the Lord’s, so there is no excuse for us to stay “throwed”!
merciful- God’s nature toward those who seek Him- wants all of you
Often the reason we don’t seek God is bec we don’t understand Him: policeman, grandfather, disconnected creator
Ex- pro golfer invited out by king of Saudi Arabia, offered gift, “anything”, collected golf clubs- “a golf club”. Waiting for mail, letter- golf resort
First had to go play the golf tournament, the “if”.
Olympian Katie Uhlaender, Skeleton Slider
During her first season on the World Cup circuit in 2004-05, skeleton slider Katie Uhlaender competed with a broken foot and a partially fractured ankle. Since then, she’s had two off-season surgeries. But this 21-year-old from Colorado isn’t letting past adversity cramp her style in Turin. The three-time U.S. champion will compete in her first Olympic race on Thursday. She is the only American woman in the event.
“I feel like I’ve been through enough stuff and have enough experience that I feel like I should perform,” Uhlaender said. Since arriving in Italy, her schedule has been packed and there’s a lot of action going on around her, but Uhlaender keeps her eyes on her reason for being there.
“I’ve been pretty narrow-minded. There’s one thing to focus on,” Uhlaender said. She’s been prepping her sled and her mind, walking the track and doing maintenance to keep her body fresh. A major part of this is eating right.
“I pay attention to what I eat, and when. It’s about nutritional timing,” Uhlaender said.
Skeleton is a sledding sport where sliders launch themselves headfirst down icy tracks on sleds that reach speeds of 80 mph. Sliders are in peak form when they maximize their weight while staying lean and explosive, Uhlaender said. Right now, she weighs about 150 pounds and is 14 percent body fat.
Uhlaender’s breakfast usually consists of eight egg whites with spinach and cheese, oatmeal, or yogurt. She gives herself at least a half an hour to digest her breakfast before starting her training session. She packs on the carbs before workouts or just afterward, and during the day, she keeps the ratio between carbs and protein lower.
“It’s mostly about balance,” Uhlaender said. “I can’t not eat carbs. That would take away energy and I won’t feel good. I need energy to compete.” She eats about every two to three hours because of her intense training regimen. She’ll often have a salad with a chicken breast for lunch and she loves burgers. When she’s really trying to put on weight, she’ll have cottage cheese with protein powder at night.
During the summer, Uhlaender has a packed schedule. From about 9:30 until 12:30, she’s at the track running sprints. Then she takes a break for lunch before hitting the weight room from 3 until 5:30. Afterward, she tends to her body by stretching and spending time in the cold tubs. By 7:00, she’s eating dinner and by 8:00, she’s studying the tracks and looking at past races.
“I’m completely focused on training and sport,” Uhlaender said. “I did everything I could to know that when I walk into the Olympic stadium, I feel prepared.”
Uhlaender said walking in the Opening Ceremonies last Friday was “indescribable.”
“My cheeks were sore from smiling,” she said. “It’s special because I’m surrounded by the best in the world.”

Happy new year, Glenn, Heather, and Mountain Rock family! Thank you for coming to share God’s word in Philly. I am proud to see what you have started there in Hershey. The website is inspiring by itself, and then I listened to your sermon and felt like a baby christian again. “Do or do not…” This is something I need to carry throughout the year. While listening, I thought about ways I could incorporate these sermons into my family times and bible talks. I am convinced it will be profitable to browse the church websites (internationally) to see / listen, pray and grow outside of our [little] Philadelphia box. I think we’ll start in Mountain Rock. Keep giving your best for God. All glory to him.
