    Journey In, Journey Out Series

    Contributed by Robert Higgins on Apr 17, 2008
     | 4,784 views

    The primary source of our failure to be externally focused Christians and an inside out church is found in the tension between the development of the inward life the saint and his outward life.

    1. I have been talking about letting God turn us inside out. a. Most of my emphasis over these past few weeks has been about letting God use you, about getting your focus off of “your wants and desires” and paying attention to what God is doing and how He wants to change the world through you. b. ...read more

     | 4,570 views

    Jesus wasn’t focusing on outward performance like going to church, giving, or serving. His concern was to mark out how a disciple should be on the inside.

    When’s the last time you heard someone say, “If you want to succeed in life, try being meek?” Or, “If you want to rise to the top and get somewhere in life, display meekness along the way?” Unfortunately, meekness isn’t a valued quality in our day. The ...read more

    Jesus could have made his point with only one of these stories and yet he told all three that day. Why?

    Running the race with the heroes of the faith, with our eyes fixed on Jesus.

    THE HALL OF FAITH. Hebrews 11:29-12:2. 1. In the earlier verses of Hebrews 11, the ‘Hall of Faith’ (as I have called it) spoke of faithful individuals, ranging from Abel through Abraham to Moses.

    Each one of us had experience down times, troubles and trials. Rising up must be our immediate action. God's help will always be available to those who call on Him. He will lift us up, if we never lose heart.

    RISE UP FROM THE PIT 2 Kings 6:5-7 Testimonies are powerful message of God's working in our life. Apostle Paul was asked by King Agrippa to defend himself... He was asked to testify.

    We’ve spent three weeks looking inward. We fixed our minds, reclaimed our identities, and rested our bodies. But today, we turn the lens outward, and honestly? It’s a little uncomfortable. I want to confess something to you: I have been a Secret Agent Christian.

    Three weeks of going inward. Week 1: Fix your mind. Break the algorithm. Week 2: Reclaim your identity. You're not a machine. Week 3: Rest your body. Stop the machine. This week: Speak your truth. Use your voice. We live in a culture that silences the Church through shame. We've learned to ...read more

    When our need for conforming to outward observances exceeds our regard for inward spiritual reality we need to address our spiritual obsessive-compulsive disorder.

    Jesus Is God

    the story of Christmas is that the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory. The Word is the outward expression of God. The Baby in the manger was God made flesh.

    The Christmas story is about Jesus. Now, I doubt that there is anyone here who really needed to be told that, but we all have to admit that it’s pretty difficult to keep the focus there. Actually, I think there is a fine line between what’s pleasing and not pleasing in the way we celebrate. ...read more
