Finding Our Story

Phil 3 - we have no story until Christ.
No identity, no individualism until Christ
In Christ we find our story
2 Corinthians 5:17 HCSB
Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away, and look, new things have come.
Knowing Your Story
Paul has returned to Jerusalem - seen as a traitor
false accusations, grabbed him,
Damascus road moment - we all have a moment when we have to decide - surrender
Knowing Your Story
vs 6-9 - confronting - realize who is God and who is not
personal - just you and your decision
vs 10 - no longer my plans - going to Damascus to lead away, now he had to be lead there
surrender = trust
Knowing Your Story
vs 11-16 - trust must equal action and obedience
vs 17-21 - as we obey we find our purpose and mission
We have a Story
not about us
Galatians 2:20 HCSB
and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me.
We have a Story
worth telling
Romans 1:16 HCSB
For I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is God’s power for salvation to everyone who believes, first to the Jew, and also to the Greek.
We have a Story
Unifinished
Philippians 3:12 HCSB
Not that I have already reached the goal or am already fully mature, but I make every effort to take hold of it because I also have been taken hold of by Christ Jesus.
We have a Story
"Withhold no part of the precious truth, but speak what you know and declare what you have seen. Do not allow the toil or darkness or possible unbelief of your friends to dissuade you. Let us rise and march to the place of duty, and there declare what great things God has shown to our soul." Alistair Begg
