2 FORGETTINGYOU less of you / more of Him

3 FORGETTINGYOU

4 “He must become greater; I must become less.” John 3:30 John 1:26-27 “I baptize with water,” John replied, “but among you stands one you do not know. He is the one who comes after me, the thongs of whose sandals I am not worthy to untie.”

5 FORGETTINGYOU “He must become greater; I must become less.” John 3:30 John 3:26...and (they) said to him, “Rabbi, that man who was with you on the other side of the Jordan—the one you testified about—well, he is baptizing, and everyone is going to him.” Second place To mature physically we increase To mature spiritually we decrease “If you are humble nothing will touch you, neither praise nor disgrace, because you know what you are.” – Mother Teresa Question What does it really look like to be more about Jesus and less about you?

6 FORGETTINGYOU “He must become greater; I must become less.” John 3:30 Hebrews 12:2 “Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith...” Second place The first thing... I lose my focus Losing focus on ourselves is very difficult to do When we get our focus in the right place there is a realisation...

7 FORGETTINGYOU “He must become greater; I must become less.” John 3:30 Ecclesiastes 5:10 Whoever loves money never has money enough; whoever loves wealth is never satisfied with his income...” Second place The second thing... I lose my stuff When we begin to realise that ‘my stuff’ is not really ‘my stuff’ – it makes all the difference Psalms 118:24 “This is the day the L ORD has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it.” Matthew 6:24 “No one can serve two masters. Either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and Money.”

8 FORGETTINGYOU “He must become greater; I must become less.” John 3:30 Matthew 10:39 “Whoever finds his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life for my sake will find it.” Second place The third thing... I lose my life The reality is we can lose our life in so many different things... When we lose our life for Jesus’ sake we begin to understand that there is a much greater purpose and meaning to our lives than just us. “Life without God is like an unsharpened pencil – It has no point!” - Unknown

9 FORGETTINGYOU “He must become greater; I must become less.” John 3:30 Second place 1.Lose our focus... on ourselves 2.Lose our stuff... We lose the thought that all this stuff is ours 3.Lose our life... Because everything we are is His
