Sermon Notes
D.O.I.N.G Acronym: Divine - Opportunities - Interrupting - Normalized - Goodness
Jesus' life was defined by His Mission:
John 5:19 (NASB95)
Luke 2:49 (NASB95)
Matthew 10:5 (NASB95)
How do we start living like Jesus did?
1. Be with Jesus- as Jesus abided in the Father we must abide in Him
2. Become like Jesus- as Jesus surrendered His life intentionally, we too must lay our lives down at the feet of Jesus
The first step to doing anything for Jesus is to be transformed by THE HOLY SPIRIT.
“But who you are is more important than what you do. Why? Because the love of Jesus in you is the greatest gift you have to give to others. Who you are as a person — and specifically how well you love — will always have a larger and longer impact on those around you than what you do. Your being with God (or lack of being with God) will trump, eventually, your doing for God every time.”- Peter Scazzero, The Emotionally Healthy Leader: How Transforming Your Inner Life Will Deeply Transform Your Church, Team, and the World, pg. 38
DOING well must begin from BEING well
How Jesus was DOING the Father’s will
Jesus normalized goodness
Jesus’ Ministry in Two Categories: HEALING and DELIVERING
- Healing- physical miracles, but also in matters pertaining to identity
- Delivering- miraculous, spiritual deliverance, yes. But also, from oppression and condemnation.
Jesus was interruptible by divine opportunities
Matthew 15:21-28 (NASB95)
What DOING looks like for us today
1. Live to normalize goodness in your EVERYDAY life
Colossians 4:5-6(NASB95)
1 Thessalonians 5:16-22 (NASB95)
James 5:19-20 (NASB95)
3 John 1:11 (NASB95)
Jude 1:20-23 (NASB95)
Matthew 25:34-40 (NASB95)
- Practical step: Pick one or more intentional ways each day to normalize goodness in your life
2. Pray for wisdom to notice DIVINE opportunities
- Warning: This is near impossible if we live hurriedly or passively.
- Practical step: create space that interruptions can fill
Matthew 25:29 (NASB95)
