SUNDAY SNAPSHOT (My Family Circus - 3)
CELEBRATORS…
FAMILY… We all have one… and many of us want a better one! While some of us loved our 'growing up' years… others of us couldn't wait to move out and start fresh! Either way… there’s something inside us all that would love to have THE PERFECT CIRCUS… when it comes to our FAMILY! The problem is… there’s REAL… then there’s IDEAL… then there’s a BIG GAP IN BETWEEN! A TENSION that we all must come to terms with and push through if we ever want to keep moving towards the STANDARD that Jesus gave to us which defines A PERFECT CIRCUS! I hope you’ll do whatever it takes to continue joining us for this Series… MY FAMILY CIRCUS! We’ll be continually discovering what Jesus thinks is the IDEAL WAY to survive a FAMILY full of Lions… Clowns… and Bearded-Ladies!
Below is a sneak-peek for THIS Week… (3) Common Cause
FACT… As long as you keep BLAMING OTHERS for YOUR UNHAPPINESS…
YOU will ALWAYS be UNHAPPY!
James 4:1… What causes FIGHTS and QUARRELS among YOU?
Answer… YOU! (Common Cause)
James 4:1… What causes FIGHTS and QUARRELS among YOU?
Every time there's CONFLICT… It has to deal with THIS… YOU WANT SOMETHING THAT YOU’RE NOT GETTING!
What If…? Every time there was CONFLICT… We Paused/Recognized/Said…
"You know why I'm feeling the way I'm feeling? I'm Not Getting What I Want!"
You know WHY… YOU tend to hurt those that are CLOSEST to YOU?
Because they are CLOSE… TO YOU!
James 4:2c… You don't have… because you haven't ASKED GOD!
Stop squeezing Something out of Someone who doesn't have it in them to Give!
See You Sunday Celebrators… (9a / 10:45a)
