1/26 ALL IN


ALL IN

Putting God in the Proper Place in Our Life

 

I.                   JESUS GAVE EVERYTHING AND DEMANDS.

 

1.     Cross Was Not Accidental.

 

Isaiah 53:1-6         Who has believed our report? And to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed? 2 For He shall grow up before Him as a tender plant, And as a root out of dry ground. He has no form or comeliness; And when we see Him, There is no beauty that we should desire Him. 3 He is despised and rejected by men, A Man of sorrows and acquainted with grief. And we hid, as it were, our faces from Him; He was despised, and we did not esteem Him. 4Surely He has borne our grief’s And carried our sorrows; Yet we esteemed Him stricken, Smitten by God, and afflicted. 5 But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; The chastisement for our peace was upon Him, And by His stripes we are healed. 6 All we like sheep have gone astray; We have turned, every one, to his own way; And the Lord has laid on Him the iniquity of us all.

 

2.     The Cross Cost…

 

a.      Garden of Gethsemane

3.     The Cross ________________    _________________   __________________________.

 

a.     Salvation  (Positional Transformation)

 

2 Cor. 5:21        21 For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.

 

b.     _______________________________ (Practical Transformation)

 

2 Thessalonians 2:13   13 But we are bound to give thanks to God always for you, brethren beloved by the Lord, because God from the beginning chose you for salvation through sanctification by the Spirit and belief in the truth.

 

 

c.      Glorification (Eternal Transformation)

 

Romans 8:30  30 Moreover whom He predestined, these He also called; whom He called, these He also justified; and whom He justified, these He also glorified.

 

II.                OUR CULTURE WARS AGAINST ________________     _________________.

 

 

III.             WE MUST EVALUATE OUR “ALL IN” LEVEL..

 

1.     “All in” is not perfection, but a condition of the heart.

Mark 12:28-30     29 Jesus answered him, “The first of all the commandments is:Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is one. 30 And you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength.

 

Psalm 10:4        The wicked, through the pride of his countenance, will not seek after God: God is not in all his thoughts.

 

 

IV.             “ALL IN” IS THE KEY TO EVERYTHING WE ARE LOOKING FOR.

 

1.     Peace

V.                ALL IN?

 

1.     Is There Anything You Could Not Give Him If He Asked For It?

2.     What Temptation Continues To Conquer You?

3.     Is There Anyone Who Means More To You Than He Does?

4.     Is There Anything He Would Ask Of You That You Couldn’t Do?
