SATURDAY/SUNDAY SNAPSHOT (THE BOOK OF JOB 6)

 

The Book of Job… (6) IT’S NOT ABOUT ME!

 

CELEBRATORS… Job 42:12a says something rather fascinating… The Lord BLESSED the LATTER PART of Job’s life more than the FIRST… Not sure about you Celebrators – but I WANT THATI WANT THAT FOR ME and I WANT THAT FOR YOU! And I’m pretty sure since God did that for JOB – that He wants to do the same for YOUBLESS YOU TOO! Each week of this series we’re looking closely at the RESPONSES of JOB when ‘all hell broke loose in his life’ – to see how JOB RESPONDED to receive such a BLESSING in his LATER LIFE! This particular week we’re talking about understanding that many of the BLESSINGS from God we receive from God come as a direct result from realizing… IT'S NOT ABOUT ME! Should be a FUN week – Don’t Miss It!

 

 

Below is a sneak-peak of this week’s message…

(6) IT’S NOT ABOUT ME!

 

Job 38-40… God says… “Brace yourself like a man...”

Job wondered... 'Why's this happening to ME?'

God Speaks... “IT'S NOT ABOUT YOU... IT'S ALL ABOUT ME!”

 

Wanna be BLESSED? Then stop focusing on the SIZE of your PROBLEM and start focusing on the SIZE of your GOD!

 

Job 38-40… We have a GOD that's BIGGER than our PROBLEMS... He's BIGGER than ANYTHING going on in your life! (BELIEVE IT!)

 

Do you view the CHURCH more as a RESTAURANT (A Place to BE SERVED) or as a FAMILY (A Place TO SERVE)...?

 

If you don't have TIME to dedicate to what JESUS dedicated HIS TIME to (The Church)… YOU'RE TOO BUSY!

 

Ck-Out John 17:15 Today… JESUS didn’t call us to RETRACT ourselves FROM the COMMUNITY…  He called us to IMPACT those IN our COMMUNITY!

                                                                                                 

 

Praying you have a “BLESSED” Week Celebrators!!

The Book of Job… (5) GETTING PAST THE PERFORMANCE TRAP!

 

CELEBRATORS… Job 42:12a says something rather fascinating… The Lord BLESSED the LATTER PART of Job’s life more than the FIRST… Not sure about you Celebrators – but I WANT THATI WANT THAT FOR ME and I WANT THAT FOR YOU! And I’m pretty sure since God did that for JOB – that He wants to do the same for YOUBLESS YOU TOO! Each week of this series we’re looking closely at the RESPONSES of JOB when ‘all hell broke loose in his life’ – to see how JOB RESPONDED to receive such a BLESSING in his LATER LIFE! This particular week we’re talking about knowing the difference between RELIGIOUS LIVING and HOLY LIVING! It’s easy to fall for the PERFORMANCE TRAP of being RELIGIOUS and disregarding being HOLY! BE CAREFUL HERE! It’s really all about understanding GRACE!

 

 

Below is a sneak-peak of this week’s message…

(5) GETTING PAST THE PERFORMANCE TRAP!

 

RELIGION says… GOD LOVES YOU… IF?

CHRISTIANITY says… GOD LOVES YOU… PERIOD.

 

Ever wonder if JESUS LOVES YOU? Well... HE DOES! And it's not based on your PERFORMANCE... it's based on your POSITION... as HIS CHILD!

 

Wondering today if JESUS LOVES YOU...? Then read Titus 3:3-4 today!

HE DOES... Check it out and LEAVE NO DOUBT!

 

Ever feel like you're DISAPPOINTING God? Remember... There's NOTHING you've DONE or WILL DO that He doesn't already KNOW about! HE LOVES YOU!

 

Feel like YOU’RE DISAPPOINTING to God? Read Matthew 26:31-34 today! All God did with PETER was FORGIVE HIM and then PUT HIM IN CHARGE of the WHOLE CHURCH!

 

If you want to be “BLESSED” by GOD then KNOW... It has NOTHING to do with what YOU can DO for HIM... it's based on what HE has DONE for YOU!

 

 

Praying you have a “BLESSED” Week Celebrators!!
