Enthusiast 2 definitions of Enthusiast. Mystery & Celebration Mystery (of faith) Supernatural occurrence. The Unexplained.

Enthusiast Mystery They understand the secrets! God is central to everything!? Mystery and reason.

Enthusiast Mystery – Joel 2 v 28 & Acts 2 v 17 Dreams (Jacob, Joseph, Daniel) Visions (Ezekiel, Isaiah, John) Expectancy Prayer

Enthusiast Celebration – Jesus is alive!!! Yeah!!! Enthusiastic Worship – Woo Hoo!!! Tabernacles, Passover, Pentecost. David danced. (Many instruments) Jesus said – If the people are quiet, the rocks will cry out!!!

Enthusiast Celebration Praise services. Celebration services. Fear of God? Soul Survivor, Spring Harvest, etc. Experience for experience sake? Independent. Good feelings, or good worship? Scripture?

Enthusiast Have you lost Enthusiasm? Spend some time with Children.

Contemplative Intro: Seeks to be in God’s presence more than anything – Psalm 63, Song of Songs etc… Mary (as opposed to Martha) is also a biblical example Being with God is an end in itself

Contemplative Practices: Practicing God’s presence through familiar prayer or routine Secret acts of devotion e.g. an anonymous gift to someone in need… ‘dancing’ prayer Less is more

Contemplative Temptations: Becoming too heavenly minded for any earthly good Unhealthy emphasis on the ego Addiction to experience
