You Changed My Mind

Shifting our faith from what we are to who we are.

Lies of the world: We don’t need a shepherd God is distant or isn’t good You need protection and freedom from religion Truth: We are sheep Jesus is our good shepherd He is protecting us from predators and enemies

John 8:12

John 11 - Because Jesus is the resurrection and the life, I am no longer dead in my sins, but being made fully alive in Him each day

Luke 15:11-32 Jesus didn’t come to make bad people good or good people better, He came to bring dead people to life.

Genesis 3:1-7, 21

We now live in a time when consumer Christianity has become the accepted norm, and all out engagement within Jesus’ Kingdom among us is regarded as somewhat overdoing it. -Dallas Willard. I want to overdo it.

Besides Bo Shembeckler, I’m a huge fan of John Wooden. He would begin each season teaching the most basic fundamentals of basketball, down to how to put on socks and tie shoes. The most mature Christians don’t become so advanced that they don’t need to revisit the fundamentals, but grow a deep appreciation for them. This week we’ll be looking at Paul’s teaching in 2 Timothy 3-4 on the dangers of s...

This past Sunday we looked at Jesus’ teaching in John 15 to remain in Him and we will bear much fruit. I try to be as straightforward as possible, helping our students see what the Bible reveals as lies we believe from the world, the flesh and the devil. What we saw in John 15 was that our world is trying “liberate” us from God; to be independent from Him. We then struggle because we’ve cut oursel...

Luke 1:1-4

Genesis 16

How can we know God exists? Can we put Him to a scientific test? We believe plenty of things that can’t be scientifically proven, or that we can't measure. We'll see that God is God, more like a person that a force or mathematical law who we can fit in a test tube or an equation.

Genesis 12:1-5, 13:14-18, 15:1-21, Romans 4:1-11

The the book of Proverbs in a nutshell: If you live by the wisdom in the Bible, your life will generally go better than if you hadn’t. However, what about the times in life where you do everything right, and it doesn’t work out for you? That's what the book of Ecclesiastes is all about. We'll see that Jesus gives us a greater perspective than the angst of life's hevel , or fleeting nature. He give...

Have you ever done something you regretted because you thought you’d get someone approval, attention, laughs? Do you ever feel like you to act a certain way or else people won’t like you? Do you ever worry that if people really knew the real you that they wouldn’t like you anymore? We'll see through the life of David that a person after God's heart is far less concerned with what other people thin...

Hebrew 12:5-12. We believe the lie that discipline is only punishment and confuse challenge with harm. But God's shows us to embrace discipline and challenges as a form of God's love. Similar problems lies we believe is that discipline is incompatible with love, we trade what we want most for what we want now, and we abandon things that delight us when they require discipline. The truth of God in...

Acts 26 Lie: We assume someone might never come to Jesus, or consider them too far gone Truth: God can bring even the hardest, most evil heart back to Him How: When we have an encounter with God, it turns killers into rescuers.

How do we prioritize the right things in life? And how do we stick to it? Prioritizing your worries won’t provide God in our lives, but prioritize God and He will provide us with the things we used to worry about. So do less, do important things first, and set aside sacred time.

If you want to see if a piece of fruit is good, squeeze it, cut into it, and see what comes out. And when our heart is open before God, the Holy Spirit comes and transforms it. Here we identify 5 things the Holy Spirit does in our hearts: Convicts us of sin, give us strength to resist temptation, comforts us, gives us gifts and abilities, and empowers us.
