The Iceberg and the Pinata
"THE ICEBERG AND THE PIÑATA" , My One Word Series - Sunday January 24 iceberg pic)THE KEY “ICEBERG” PASSAGE: Deuteronomy 6:6-9 (HCSB) These words that I am giving you today are to be in your heart. 7Repeat them to your children. Talk about them when you sit in your house and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up. 8Bind them as a sign on your hand and let them be a symbol on your forehead. 9Write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates." What We’ve Learned So Far: Week #1: Every Story Of TRANSFORMATION Begins With A WORD From God. Week #2: Do SOMETHING About ONE THING Instead Of NOTHING About Everything. Week #3: My One Word is a LENS through which you will SEE, not a PROMISE which you must keep. Message Bottom Line Week #4: Keep Your “Word From God” In FRONT of you so you won’t FORGET God’s Voice. (pinata pic)The PIÑATA is Sweet... But It’s Hollow, Broken, And Forgotten! Deuteronomy 8:11-14, 19-20 (NASB) “Beware lest you forget the LORD your God by not keeping His commandments and His ordinances and His statutes which I am commanding you today; 12lest, when you have eaten and are satisfied, and have built good houses and lived in them, 13and when your herds and your flocks multiply, and your silver and gold multiply, and all that you have multiplies, 14then your heart becomes proud, and you forget the LORD your God who brought you out from the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery. 19“And it shall come about if you ever forget the LORD your God, and go after other gods and serve them and worship them, I testify against you today that you shall surely perish. 20“Like the nations that the LORD makes to perish before you, so you shall perish; because you would not listen to the voice of the LORD your God. The Problem: New Things Are Motivating Because They Are New. Motivation Decreases When NEW Becomes OLD! The Answer: A Powerful, Personal, Permanent ALTAR That God Uses To reNEW my MIND. I urge you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies a living and holy sacrifice, acceptable to God, which is your spiritual service of worship. 2And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind… Romans 12:1,2 Today, Share Your “ONE WORD” In Writing On Your Communication Card. Next Sunday, Bring A Symbol Of Your “ONE WORD” For Altar Day. Your “My One Word” LIFESTYLE ALTAR. From Matthew 7:7 “ASK and you will RECEIVE”: Ask God For A Physical Symbol To Demonstrate Your One Word’s Meaning. [tatoo girl] “Every Movement Has A Symbol!” “SEEK and you will FIND”: Continually Seek More Ways To Interpret The Facets Of Your Word’s Meaning. Ask Someone, “What does the word __________ mean to you?” “KNOCK and the door will be OPENED”: Knock On The Door Of A HomeTeam This Week. Share What God Is Teaching You. “If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together.” - African Proverb EXTRA----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ...and that you be renewed in the spirit of your mind, 24and put on the new self, which in the likeness of God has been created in righteousness and holiness of the truth. Ephesians 4:23 What Is An Altar For? ReNEW My MOTIVATION. ReMIND God’s POWER. Keep Your “Word From God” In FRONT of you to CREATE Strong CHARACTER. Keep Your “Word From God” In FRONT of you to CARVE Deep CHARACTER. Keep Your “Word From God” In FRONT of you to Keep CARVING Deep CHARACTER. Keep Your “Word From God” In FRONT of you so you won’t FORGET and FAIL. You BECOME What You BEHOLD!
