Expanding Boundaries

I. Boundaries There are both spiritual and physical boundaries Spiritual – level of God’s reign that we submit to Physical – geographic area we are given to serve

2 Corinthians 10:13-15 The boundaries of the work God has given us Our area of authority We hope your faith will grow so the boundaries of our work among you will be extended

2 Timothy 2:2 You have heard me teach things that have been confirmed by many reliable witnesses. Now teach these truths to other trustworthy people who will be able to pass them on to others.

Expanding Spiritual boundaries Boundaries = capacities Increasing faith/trust God’s rule expanding

Expanding physical boundaries Ministry in Dodge Center and surrounding area Boundaries expanding Advancing the Kingdom of God – the physical and spiritual boundaries/capacities increasing

Expectation of expansion Hebrews 5:11-14 Much more to explain Spiritually dull and don’t seem to listen You ought to be teaching others You need someone to teach you basics Like babies, not mature

Video Illustration – “Preacher Beeper”

Better things – Hebrews 6:9-12 We don’t believe this applies to you Meant for better things that come with salvation Show your love for God by caring for other believers Then you will not become spiritually dull Inherit God’s promises because of faith and endurance

Acknowledging other’s boundaries Don’t trespass Acknowledge authority and God’s grace Don’t make judgments - NEI

II. Guarding Against Lost Ground Colossians 1:13 For he has rescued us from the kingdom (NASB – domain) of darkness and transferred us into the Kingdom of his dear Son,

Ephesians 4:20-27 Throw off the sinful nature Put on your new nature Don’t let anger control you

Controlled by anger gives a foothold to the devil

John 10:10 The thief comes to steal, kill, and destroy… 1 Peter 5:8-9 The devil is looking for someone to destroy Stand firm against him and be strong in your faith

III. Response Self Examination For spiritual dullness For footholds/strongholds of the devil How are my boundaries expanding? Personal growth Personal growth Teaching/mentoring others Teaching/mentoring others Caring for other believers Caring for other believers Reaching out to non-believers Reaching out to non-believers Opportunities abound at PFC Opportunities abound at PFC
