For the Honor of God

OUR MISSION: TO CRANK OUR BIBLE TALKS

Luke 11:14-23

When God’s Kingdom comes, demons are driven out of the lives of the people who come into the Kingdom
The demon of impurity
The demon of apathy
The demon of lukewarmness
The demon of minimalism and low commitment
If you see it, guess who’s responsible? You are.
Jesus is stealing souls from Satan’s kingdom
We are spiritual bandits robbing souls from the world
We are Jesus’ Ocean’s Eleven
If we are not with Jesus, we are against him
If we are not gathering souls for Jesus, we are SCATTERING
We can’t be neutral in sharing our faith
There is no middle ground for sharing your faith
Imagine if we all gathered together as a unified group
We have a church of 50 disciples! Why aren’t we all gathering?
Who’s in Bible studies? Who’s sharing their faith?
Our heart must be a church that honors God
Be focused on GATHERING – this needs to be my mindset – this needs to be my identity
There’s people everywhere! Gather them!

RULE 1: Your Bible Talk must be fruitful

Matthew 9:27-31

Two blind men saying, “Have mercy on us!”
What did Jesus do?
These blind guys had to go indoors and find Jesus
THEY WERE BLIND!
Because these blind men had faith, they made there way from the outside to the inside and stood before Jesus
The blind men had the faith to cry out, and seek Jesus, and know that they would be healed
We must understand: Just because we have the right doctrine, and fruit in the church, does not guarantee you will be fruitful
According to YOUR faith, it will be done
The religious world’s faith, has no conviction
True faith is where you know without a shadow of a doubt that it will happen
We had Berkeley, with another brother’s household, for SF State women to baptize 10 women
How many of these prayers were answered? None.
Why? Our faith was stolen away from us.
Everyday we battle to keep the conviction and the faith strong beyond a shadow of a doubt

Do you have faith? Do you believe and know that it will happen 100%?

RULE 2: Your faith must be unwavering

John 10:10

Jesus came to give us a full life
Satan came to destroy our faith, to steal us from the Kingdom, to blind us and make us miserable
There is the happy exterior of every person in the world
Inside is the secrets, the sin, the ugliness that they keep hidden away
The life of the person in the world has a weak foundation
Jesus comes to change the pattern of the world
Jesus comes to complete us and fulfill the lives of the people who seek him
Jesus comes to lay a foundation that cannot be shaken
When a disciple is not fired up and full of joy – Satan has a foothold
The mark of a true disciple: THEY HAVE FUN
A full life is one that other people want to join and have fellowship in!
We must have fruit, and we must have faith, which means we WILL have fun!
Mike’s mission to have the most fun in a year that we can possibly have!
WE HAVE TO HAVE FUN!
Be creative and do things TOGETHER!
The disciples met daily in the fellowship in Acts 2:42-47

RULE 3: Have a blast
