You HAVE Enough - Pt 2

When Jesus talks about "the kingdom of heaven", many people only think about the afterlife. But Jesus wasn't really talking about what comes after we die, he was talking about what life is like where God is king. Not only in heaven, but when God is king in our lives right now!

In 1981 Harvard Business School published a book about negotiations, entitled Getting to Yes! The authors say that people have 4 fundamental interests that inform the way they act and interact. They are: Security (feeling safe/secure) Belonging (being a part a group and loved) Recognition (being appreciated) And autonomy (feeling freedom in our actions) The authors say that all human actions are really about fulfilling these goals.
You DO Enough - Pt 1

When God first really got hold of my life, I was 18. It didn’t happen instantaneously, but there were significant events that were part of the process. During those months as God was wooing me, there was one book that had been given to me by my grandparents a couple of years earlier that I went back to. It was by AW Tozer and called The Knowledge of The Holy. I don’t know why they gave it to me earlier in life because when I tried to read it, I couldn’t even get past the first page without getting lost. The book is about the attributes of God and is still one of my favorites. Does all God is, do, all God does?
You ARE Enough - Pt 1

When we first started talking about this season of Lent it seemed good to us and to the Holy Spirit to focus on seeking to remove those things from our lives that keep us from living into the resurrection life of Jesus. That is really the purpose of Lent. It is a time of preparation so that we can truly celebrate all that God has done for us in overcoming death and evil. We originally thought of calling this series, “The Purge”, but some of the team wisely thought there were too many negative connotations around that title. In the end, we settled on “Enough”. As in, you are enough, you do enough, you have enough, and enough already. This week and next week, we are going to focus on “you do enough”.
