Untitled Sermon (Christian Life)

Intro: The only one page of notes with no given title... But it still has many good points. All are listed below, cheers!

  • God may not come through the way you expect Him to, but He'll always come through.
  • If you find yourself not learning, it's because you think you're already there. But if you don't learn, then you don't grow... So save yourself and be humbled, try to learn continually, even if you think you've heard the same message before. God may reveal something new to you.
  • Being a great leader is not going after the great positions, it is benefiting those you serve.
  • Be faithful and make the small things great for God. Don't just wait for great things to come to you.
    • You may be divinely hidden like David! Called to do great things after many years of labor, David was still faithful to his small task.
  • Remain PURE in totality, even in heart.
    • Physical, mental, moral purity.
    • Moral courage v. moral knowledge
      • do you live out the morals you know about?
  • Have INTEGRITY
    • Does the end always justify the means? (no...)
    • Integrity = simple, sound, complete, upright perfection
    • Watch the small areas.
    • PIRATING IS NOT OK.
    • purge out the things that are displeasing to God! (includes illegally obtained music)
  • INTIMACY/FELLOWSHIP are important!
    • PRAYER | WORSHIP | FELLOWSHIP | THE WORD
    • Lower yourself = lower pride and dignity to honor others and God -- be willing to kiss the feet of others.
    • Worship empties every bit of pride and gives glory to God. He deserves so much more than we give Him -- so worship whether or not you "feel" like it.
      • Don't let circumstance dictate your worship, let your worship dictate your circumstance.
    • Allow the Holy Spirit to have monopoly over your life and giftings
  • PERSEVERING FAITH is true faith!
    • Don't avoid hardship, fight through it.
    • We are already victorious, but He wants to build us stronger.
    • He gives you vision and lets it fade, and then pulls you up.
    • He tests your faith
    • You don't know God's plans, but rest assured that He has plans for you.
