Summer At Connect 2017_pt9: Encountering God
Have you ever heard someone say, “I guess you just had to be there...”
If all you do is hear someone else’s stories, and you never have an experience of your own - God will say: “I guess you just had to be there...”
[PAYOFF] - God never intended to be someone you only just hear about through others experiences.
He’s always intended for YOU to have YOUR experience with Him.
Others’ stories are important, but they are only intended to inspire your own story!
[STORY] - First saved.
Youth revival.
Called to ministry.
2 Corinthians
Sunday isn’t enough!
We need power, not just words
There are some issues that words cannot fix!
In a world of so many religions, how can anyone know what is real?
Jesus said: I will back up my words with power!
(signs/wonders)
We need to be a body of believers who not only believe on the testimony of others, but because we’ve had our OWN experience.
[TRANSITION] - I can’t answer all of the questions, but it’s too late - I’ve already had any experience!
We need an experience, not just an explanation
[STORY] - Jesus heals a man blind from birth...
John 9:17
[PAYOFF] - The greatest proof that Jesus is Lord = CHANGED LIVES!
[CAREFUL] - But, don’t just seek the goose bumps!
We need presence, not just practice
[PAYOFF] - We can do church good!
We’ve been practicing for 2000 years… but is that what this is about?
Better church services?
We need to encounter God!
Encountering God!
Hosea give us the prescription...
Seek Him!
3 words to plow your ground...
1. Desperation: Wanting God’s way
God is looking for people who aren’t content with what they already have...
2. Humility: Wanting God’s will
Pride, more than anything, will keep us from experiencing God!
[PAYOFF] - You will never encounter God, doing it your own way.
3. Repentance: Wanting God’s work
We’ve got to allow the cleansing work of God in our lives.
Take Away
We don’t need another “church” service, we need a God encounter!
There is a greater reason for our encounters...
In light of these encounters?
Why do they happen here on Earth?
Why an encounter here?
Why not just bring us to Heaven for the greatest encounter?
Why is the Church here?
Our encounter will reveal God’s love for us - Yes.
But, once we encounter His love, we encounter His purpose and focus… object of His love...
Do you believe you are the ONLY object of His love????
[PAYOFF] - Church, we need to experience God for ourselves, but also to help others experience Him!
