MLCC Sermon Notes – November 24, 2024.
Connecting our Sundays and our Mondays. A Study in the life of Peter.
Speaker Phil Payne
Hansel and Gretel - the practice of leaving breadcrumbs.
God’s redeeming work is intended to be Transformational and not just Transactional
God’s method of teaching seems to be this:
1) prepare by instruction
2) learn by experience.
A celebratory experience in Peter’s life:
1 Then Peter came to himself and said, “Now I know without a doubt that the Lord has… rescued me “ Acts 12:11
Acts 12: 1-19
Big things Peter has learned:
- IDENTITY
- FOCUS
- FEAR
- RELIANCE on the HOLY SPIRIT
Application:
Life is in the process of happening all around us. For good and for bad. ________ and _______
God works uniquely in each of our lives. No _______ answers. Romans 8:28. Prov 3:5-6
Peter is living in ___________ – not _____________.
How to Connect my Sundays and my Mondays:
- Continue to develop your IDENTITY in Christ
- Learn to Consistently FOCUS on Christ
- Remember FEAR is real – ask God for Boldness
- Learn to RELY on the HOLY SPIRIT. Hear His voice over your own.
- Remember to TRUST God in ALL Circumstances.
- LIVE in Community – not in Isolation
“38 So now I live with the confidence that there is nothing in the universe with the power to separate us from God’s love. I’m convinced that his love will triumph over death, life’s troubles, fallen angels, or dark rulers in the heavens. There is nothing in our present or future circumstances that can weaken his love. 39 There is no power above us or beneath us—no power that could ever be found in the universe that can distance us from God’s passionate love, which is lavished upon us through our Lord Jesus, the Anointed One!” -Romans 8:38-39 (TPT)
