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!!

The Book of Job… (4) HOW DO I KNOW GOD IS SPEAKING TO 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 an all-to-familiar THOUGHT I’m sure we’ve ALL wrestled with a time or two… GOD’S WILL! How do I know if it’s GOD or if it’s ME? We’re gonna attempt to assist you with genuinely knowing the difference between the two! Don’t miss it!

 

 

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

(4) HOW DO I KNOW GOD IS SPEAKING TO ME?

 

Ever get so frustrated with everything going on around you that you didn’t see GOD’S WILL right in front of you?

 

Things falling apart around you…? PAY ATTENTION!

God really reveals WHO JESUS IS... DURING THE STORM!

 

If you really want to KNOW GOD'S WILL... READ HIS WORD!

 

It is a dangerous thing to say that GOD IS NOT SPEAKING when the BIBLE IS SO THICK!

 

Hearing from God by LISTENING to the BIBLE is infinitely more important than TALKING to God by PRAYING!

 

Sometimes GOD'S VOICE is the LOUDEST when you feel the FARTHEST from Him!

 

Sometimes God doesn’t speak when you’re on TOP OF THE MOUNTAIN

Sometimes He speaks when you’re in the BOTTOM OF THE VALLEY!

 

 

Praying you have a “BLESSED” Week Celebrators!!
