5 Weeks Be

Wake up to realize The joy of it is gone And has been for a long time

Or it's begun To consume your thoughts And become your life

Organizational Mission-Drift

Why is that?

5 Weeks…

Luke Sent Out

Luke Sent Out The kingdom of God has come near

The seventy-two returned with joy, saying, “Lord, even the demons are subject to us in your name!”

And he said to them, “I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven

Behold, I have given you authority to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall hurt you

Nevertheless, do not rejoice in this, that the spirits are subject to you, but rejoice that your names are written in heaven”

Rejoice in whose you are Rather than what you can do

Rejoice in whose you are Rather than what you can do God-centered vs. self-centered

Rejoice in being Rather than doing

We are called to be Before we ever do Else we miss the point Of what we're doing

Your sense of self Of worth and value Should come from Whose you are Not what you do (Even if it's for God)

Lawyer testing Jesus: "What should I do to inherit Eternal life?"

Lawyer testing Jesus: "What should I do to inherit Eternal life?" "You tell me"

"Love God, love your neighbor"

Deut. 6:5 plus… "Do not seek revenge or bear a grudge against anyone among your people, but love your neighbor as yourself. I am the LORD"- Leviticus 19

"Love God, love your neighbor" "Then do it, and live"

But he, desiring to justify himself, said to Jesus, “And who is my neighbor?”

A Priest, a Levite and a Samaritan Walk into a bar…

Which of these three, do you think, proved to be a neighbor to the man who fell among the robbers?”

He said, “The one who showed him mercy” And Jesus said to him, “You go, and do likewise”

Good Samaritan Being what we all should be What we do comes out of Who we are

Ultimate Truth… What you believe About yourself Determines what you do With the life you've been given

Now as they went on their way, Jesus entered a village. And a woman named Martha welcomed him into her house

And she had a sister called Mary…

Preparations Maybe People Martha, Mary, Servants

"And Mary, I was thinking we could…Mary? Mary?"

And she had a sister called Mary, who sat at the Lord's feet and listened to his teaching

But Martha was distracted with much serving. And she went up to him and said, “Lord, do you not care that my sister has left me to serve alone? Tell her then to help me”

She's being here Being lazy Being in the wrong place Being at your feet Instead of doing what she ought

But the Lord answered her, “Martha, Martha, you are anxious and troubled about many things, but one thing is necessary

Mary has chosen the good portion, which will not be taken away from her” - Luke 10

"These people come near to me with their mouth and honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me. Their worship of me is based on merely human rules they have been taught"- Isa. 29

We are called to be Before we ever do Else we miss the point Of what we're doing

Marriage Parenting Job Church Christ Hobbies

Marriage/Relationships

Marriage/Relationships Be a Christ-follower who is a Husband/wife Partner/Friend

Marriage/Relationships - Glorify Christ - Be sanctified - Serve the other person

Marriage/Relationships - Glorify Christ - Be sanctified - Serve the other person Can't go through the motions

Parenting Be a follower of Christ With a responsibility to God For what he's entrusted to you

Parenting - Contagious in your love for God - Integrity in living the faith - Purposeful in interaction - Love enough to filter media

Job Be a follower of Christ At work

Job: Jesus at work - Serving God, not men (Col. 3) - Conscious of witness - Work to live, not the other way around

Relationship with Jesus - Not to get better or do ritual - Glorify and praise because of… - Get to know better - Let light shine

Relationship with Jesus - Not to get on good side - Glorify and praise because of… - Get to know better, walk free - Let light shine, not do ritual

Church - Mutual encouragement - Sanctification - Be real and be known/accepted - Witness to watching world

Be still, and know that I am God

God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear though the earth gives way…

…though the mountains be moved into the heart of the sea, though its waters roar and foam, though the mountains tremble at its swelling

There is a river whose streams make glad the city of God, the holy habitation of the Most High There is a river whose streams make glad the city of God, the holy habitation of the Most High

God is in the midst of her; she shall not be moved; God will help her when morning dawns

The nations rage, the kingdoms totter; he utters his voice, the earth melts The LORD of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our fortress

Come, behold the works of the LORD, how he has brought desolations on the earth He makes wars cease to the end of the earth;

he breaks the bow and shatters the spear; he burns the chariots with fire

“Be still, and know that I am God. I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth!”

The LORD of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our fortress - Psalm 46

Be still and know that I am God Who he is

Be still and know that I am God Who he is Who we can't be Who we don't have to be

Be still and know that I am God Who he is Who we can't be Who we don't have to be Who we are

When you are still And let God be God over you You no longer need Anything else

God's acceptance of you Forms the basis for Unbelievable freedom In every relationship

No fronting No trying to win favor No need to show disfavor But instead, grace with truth

No being manipulated You can only be manipulated If you have an agenda Without it, you're free - Dave

The issue isn't what they've Done to you But how you're going to Treat them

Doing flows out of being Or else it becomes doing Without meaning Or with wrong motives

THAT'S what happens In relationships, jobs, churches We forget why we're doing What we're doing

When's the last time You considered God's Purpose For your relationship, job Church, faith…?

What if we took the time to Be still and know that he is God To sit at his feet, rejoice in him Before we did anything else?

This week All keyed to knowing Who he is And who you are in light of Who he is

When doing flows out of being It becomes doing With purpose and meaning And a lot of selfless sacrifice To God's glory and our joy
