RECOMMENDED BOOK: “Forgotten God” by Francis Chan
GLENN’S NOTES:
Sermon- Ch 2- What are you afraid of?
Dear Heavenly Father, I think you’d be proud of me! So far today I’ve done all right. I haven’t gossiped, lusted, lost my temper, haven’t been greedy, grumpy, nasty, selfish, or overindulgent. Praise Your Name! I’m grateful for Your grace… But Lord, a few minutes from now, I’m getting out of bed… From then on I’m going to need a lot MORE of Your help!
Joke about my irrational fear of sharks- not exposed to this often
More real- fear of rejection, financial challenge, not getting my needs met
Fear of rejection is real- about how others view me
Overnight- playing one of my messages in front of the ER
Fear of letting our sin go- boring, being denied
Surrender our fears, let God take them on- don’t sweat this, I’ve got it.
Takes Courage to really exegete Scripture- really do what it says
I forget how hard it is to Studying the Bible for the first time- surrender all, put aside tradition/family
Ex. Some of us are learning to sing again, dealing with fear
It’s easy to get stuck in faulty theology on account of fear
“If is difficult to get a man to understand something when his salary depends upon his not understanding it” Upton Sinclair
“The first duty of every soul is to find not its freedom but its Master”. Peter T. Forsythe
1. What if God doesn’t come through? Mk 4:35-40
Pray for freedom from sin- some don’t want to let go, others really want to change and are frustrated by the hard-wired patterns that take time for God to rewire.
Ex- I hate treating abscesses, and I love treating abscesses- painful and often can’t anesthetize well, but gratifying
Frustrated by the discomfort it takes for God to cut open and drain it, impatient about the healing process
If it doesn’t happen, doesn’t that mean God failed, or isn’t there? Does that mean the Spirit is weak or doesn’t care about my struggles?
We convince ourselves that we don’t really want more.
(Ac 2:38)- promised the Spirit
Are the things we ask for things that God promised or things that we just want?
Ex G’s fears- I’m working hard here, what if I can’t be there and something bad happens? Gotta trust God’s Spirit.
Even more, what if it doesn’t involve me, and it turns out great?
We turn to God for help when our foundations are shaking only to learn that it is God who is shaking them. Charles C West
v41
2.What if God does come through? v41
What if you knew all that God wants for you right now? Freak me out
Giving up control can be terrifying.
Who are you giving up control to? The World or God’s Spirit?
The happiest people I know are the ones who have learned how to hold everything loosely and have given the worrisome, stress-filled, fearful details of their lives into God’s keeping. Charles R Swindoll
What is your reputation? Different reputations at different places? Leading a double life?
Are you willing to lay it down at the feet of Christ?
“Even though you may want to move forward in your life, you may have one foot on the brakes. In order to be free, we must learn how to let go. Release the hurt. Release the fear. Refuse to entertain your old pain.
Raised in traditional environments- little regard for the Spirit. Or others- preconceived notions about the Spirit and how he works= base our convictions on Biblical truth and not fear.
Jesus promised to baptize his followers with the HS and with fire.
Rom 12:11 Never be lacking in zeal, but keep your spiritual fervor, serving the Lord.
1 Thes 5:19-22 Do not quench the Spirit.
Quench= Gr Sbennumi- extinguish or suppress
Ex. Like Madison trying to start a fire with the air dampers closed, open the dampers and it gets scary hot
Do you fear violating this command?
Do we treat prophecies with contempt? Are we listening for God’s Spirit speaking through people around us?
Courage to test everything in our beliefs? Scary ground. Gotta address what the standard is.
Hold onto= Gr katecho- hold fast, like when mooring a ship
GIGO- if our hard drive is corrupt, it doesn’t make any difference how hi-def our monitor is, or how loud our speakers are, it’s not even a good paperweight. What are you putting into your hard drive? Test everything and hold onto the good
The one month test- if you knew you had one month to live before meeting your maker, how would you live differently? What would you get rid of? Say no to? Say yes to? Do these things
Want to know God’s will for you?
v16-18
Faith is living in advance what we will only understand in reverse.
You already possess the God-given power to do remarkable things.
Caruso, great operatic tenor- struck with stage fright. Throat paralyzed, spasms constricted the muscles, perspiration, ashamed- in a few min he had to go on stage, shaking. Shouted, “The Little Me wants to strangle the Big Me within. Get out of here, the Big Me wants to sing through me.” Walked out on the stage, sang gloriously.
When we’re working through conflict in rels? Rejoice- God’s Spirit is moving
When we’re persecuted? J says Jump for joy
When finances are tight? Rejoice, learning to have security from what really matters
When my stuff breaks? Rejoice, learning to take joy from lasting things
When my dog pees on the carpet? Rejoice, learning patience, carpet needed cleaning anyway
When frightened? Rejoice, Learning real courage, forced to rely on the Spirit
When uncertain about the future? Rejoice, the only lasting peace is in God
