    Dying from an Approval Addiction

    Play Episode Listen Later Apr 12, 2022 43:03


    if we are not careful, everyone will find themselves living for someone else's approval because most of us are not secure enough in the approval of God. Living to please God means at times you're going to make decisions that are going to disappoint people. And you will only go as far in faith as you were comfortable with that truth. If you cannot live without people's approval then you have already probably hit the lid on your life. But if you will live for God, if his approval will be enough, there is no limit to where He may take you. you cannot please people and please God at the same time, so which one will you choose?

    Our Infection from Rejection

    Play Episode Listen Later Apr 12, 2022 39:19


    The lie we learn when we experience the pain of rejection is that we are not worth it. That we are a cosmic accident, a catastrophic failure, or a magnificent mistake. Satan wants you to believe that you are trash with no purpose beyond simply being thrown away. But God does not make mistakes and you are not one. He sent Jesus to win where you fail and die where you deserved so you could be accepted as you are. Do not let others' rejection keep you from experiencing God's reception. You are not the sum of your mistakes, failures, or shortcomings- In Christ, you are a new creation, the work of the Master; He never makes mistakes, he only makes masterpieces.

    How do you do at leaning into the silence? How much time to do you find yourself taking simply to be still in God's presence? In an overbusy, anxious, and frantic world, silence and solitude is an invitation to experience stillness, pause, and the voice of God. It's the means by which we slow down enough to enjoy the world and listen to God's direction. But it is also quickly becoming the discipline that the world is forgetting. How can you be remade in the Image of God? Silence and solitude is critical.

    In the Gospel of Matthew (our study over the past year), Jesus' primary message is that the Kingdom of God is coming to the world through Him. Being a follower of Jesus is all about embracing a new Kingdom and walking away from the ones of this world to live faithfully in the Kingdom that is to come. The question for most of us is how exactly we do that in our everyday lives. That's what this series is all about. We are exploring how to put down the patterns of this world and pick up the practices of God's Kingdom so that we can be remade, set free from sin, and experience the eternal joy that only God can give. Commit to being here every week, bringing your Bible and a journal, and inviting a friend to be a part of what God is going to do right here at Pulse.

    Overthrowing Powers Has Its Price | Matthew 10

    Matthew chapter 10 takes the Gospel message in a direction that most would not expect as Jesus shares His authority and reveals that there is a cost for following jesus. Jesus shares his divine authority with his followers but that means each and every one of us has a responsibility to use it and must accept the cost of carrying it. The corrupt powers of the world do not want to be overturned, even by God, and followers of Jesus can expect to be just as hated as Jesus was. But take heart, in the end, the truth will be revealed and those who remain faithful will receive the greatest gift of all! Overthrowing the broken powers of this world has its price. That's the gift and the cost of discipleship. Learn more in this Bible study on Matthew Chapter 10.

Through the forgiveness of sins and the purification of people, we see that this is a glimpse of the beginning of Jesus’ whole mission of rescuing and saving the world.

    Matthew Chapter 5 marks the beginning of Jesus' sermon on the mount, probably his most famous teaching of all time. After his tremendous victory in the wilderness of chapter 4 and after gathering many new followers, Jesus takes a moment (Matthew 5-7) to outline his mission and what the Kingdom of God looks like for those who would desire to enter into it. Many people claim these teachings are part of their way of life but that claim is challenged when we think about what it really looks like to live it out in every way, every day. Every Kingdom has its guiding rules; the United States, China, Great Britain all have different expectations for what it means to be a citizen of their country. The same is true for the Kingdom of God. In this passage, Jesus begins to outline what it means to belong to God’s Kingdom over any other kingdom or nation. Chapter 5 verses 1-12 are just the beginning of something remarkably unlike the world we've known. Jesus reminds Israel (and us) that we are to be salt and light for the purpose of blessing this world, drawing out what is good, and shining the way of God among the nations. Where do you see the need for salt and light in our world? What are the darkest corners of this world and of our heart and how is God calling you to shine bright for him?

Namely, that Jesus' identity as the Son of God and the Messiah (the promised King and Savior) is confirmed by God himself - we can have confidence in following Jesus.

    I Want to Go Back to How Things Were

    So many people say something like, "I want to go back to how things were before this", so did the Israelites in the Exodus from Egypt but they seem to forget they were slaves... They loved God's promise but they hated God's process so much that they wanted to go back to slavery? We're a lot like them, we love the promises God makes with us but we can easily grumble and complain about the process he chooses to use. I've been thinking about this a lot this week and want to invite you in on the journey.

    Theology | The Fall of Man

    What exactly is the Fall of Man? Man was truly created good and upright; for God said, "Let us make man in our own image, after our likeness." However, man by voluntary transgression fell and thereby incurred not only physical death but also spiritual death, which is separation from God. SCRIPTURE: Genesis 1:26,27 Genesis 2:17 Genesis 3:6 Romans 5:12-19 We must begin to recognize our own fallenness. The problem of sin exists within each of us and only upon seeing it in ourselves can we then come to God to allow Him to work on our heart condition.

Jesus promises that you never are. Deuteronomy 31:6 | Be strong and courageous.

    Jesus is - Savior | What does that mean?

    Jesus is Savior; not just of the world but for you! What does that really mean for your life? It means freedom like you've never known before and it requires a response from us. VERSES TO MEDITATE & MEMORIZE : 2 Corinthians 3:17 | Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. John 8:36 | So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed. Galatians 5:1 | It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery. Galatians 3:22 | But the Scripture declares that the whole world is a prisoner of sin, so that what was promised, being given through faith in Jesus Christ, might be given to those who believe. Psalm 119:45 I will walk about in freedom, for I have sought out your precepts. Galatians 5:13-14 | You, my brothers, were called to be free. But do not use your freedom to indulge the sinful nature; rather, serve one another in love. The entire law is summed up in a single command: "Love your neighbor as yourself." Romans 6:22 | But now that you have been set free from sin and become slaves to God, the benefit you reap leads to holiness, and the result is eternal life. 1 Peter 2:16 | Live as free men, but do not use your freedom to cover-up for evil; live as servants of God. Ezekiel 36:26 | And I will give you a new heart, and a new spirit I will put within you. And I will remove the heart of stone from your flesh and give you a heart of flesh. Truth: God gives you a new heart so you can live as a new creation! 2 Corinthians 5:17 | Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!
