Obedience [Experiencing God unit 9]
what is a freak.?
- someone who has an unusual personality
- someone who is utterly obsess with something
- someone who has extreme knowledge of something
we need to be Jesus freaks!
in 34 AD.
the man named Stephen
>rebuke the audience's anger
>he had a constant glow on his face
>persecuted for preaching about Jesus
>continued despite having to be stone!
>Saul witness the incident
- determination to crush Jesus believers started witht he death of Stephen.
1st Jesus freak - Stephen
>in order to be a Jesus freak, you need to obey.
what is cost?
-is value of inputs that have been use to put out something.
>cost of christian = obedience to God
>obedience is believing and trusting in God
Deuteronomy 28:1,8 [the importance of obedience]
Deuteronomy 28:15,20 [the importance of disobedience]
obedience is not a set of rules to follow/abide.
God gives us second chances.
3 main points.
1. cost of your comfort zone
-gotta come out of it
John 14:23
-stand by faith.
-follow Him all the way
2. cost of being a servant of Gid
Luke 6:46-49
-servant don't ask questions
-obey till the end
-even under stress or pressure
-focus on your love for Jesus
if you're face conscious, then you're not glory conscious
3.pay the cost of making a difference
Genesis 22:1-13
Genesis 22:15-18
If christianity is not going to cost you den you're wasting your time.
if you don't want to leave for Him others will.
