The Church at Sun Coast

Rejecting the wisdom of this world

Psalm 1

Matt 22

• We have all been violated to the point of fury
• Unforgiveness shares a prison cell
• Forgiveness is the only hope for restoration and restitution

• It is the only question that matters
• All eternity hinges on the answer
• The church through the gospel has the authority to bind and loose

• Our focus on bread blinds us to the Bread of Life
• Our obsession with our dilemmas causes us to forget about His supply

• Motherhood is a connection
• Motherhood is an adventure
• Motherhood is hopefully rewarding

• He can do nothing among hand washers
• He can great things among the broken
• He can teach us to fish in new waters

• He always responds to true need
• He cares for us beyond our present needs
• He rewards the humility that takes the lowest place

• The fact of his resurrection is an earthquake in our souls 
•  The truth of the resurrection changes us in lightening speed
•  The life of his resurrection washes us white as snow

• We need to reject a self centered type of faith
• Jesus did not come to set up an earthly kingdom
• There was no triumphal entry, but there was a triumphal exit 7 days later.
   

• Putting lipstick on a pig, doesn’t make a pretty swine
• It is blindness to ignore our real defilement
• God always starts on the inside and works out

• To counter the narrative of this world is threatening to them
• Rationalization that violates scripture is always wrong
• To be real, worship must go to the heart not just the lips

After Jesus walks away from Nazareth, turns his back on Herod, and dismisses the multitudes he fed, he proceeds to reveal his true kingdom to his small group of followers.

• He does not ask for what we do not have, but he does ask for what we do
• He directs ministry through us
• We always end up with more than what we had when we started when we put it in his hands

• They knew Him too well
• They refused to take the leap of faith
• They limited His work through unbelief

• We will not change the realities of the Kingdom
• Themes of sin and God will run side by side
• Those who advance will draw fruit from the root

• The Father is the one who searches for us
• We are the one who has wounded Christ
• He is the one who has covered us with His beauty

• A kingdom of Christ followers is His treasure
• He is filled with joy seeing the end
• He has purchased the entire field
