Hidden In Christ
Cindy Lynch's vision during worship. God the Father on the throne. Jesus standing in front of Him. The Holy Spirit in front of Jesus, and We were standing in front of the HS. This vision would make much sense after the sermon.
Pastor Steve shook things up Saturday. He gave a message on How God sees us. Who does He see when He looks at His Children??
He doesn't see.........
Our Failures
Our Short Comings
Our Shame
Our Sins
When Daddy looks back at us He Sees JESUS!!!
We are Heirs, we are siblings of Jesus. We have a voice in Kingdom affairs. God grooms and matures us to work in the family business, not as slaves but Royalty.
We however can falsely identify ourselves by
1. Not fully grasping the fullness of God's love for us.
2. We get stuck in a servant mentality "works"
3. We fail to declare God's truth.
God's Marvelous Plans for Us
Ephesians 1:3-19
Romans 8:38-39
1. God's love for us is compassionate, jealous and Loyal. Jesus was made the PERFECT sacrifice so that we could have a abundant life and most importantly relationship and communion with God. Let's believe in this LOVE.
2. God the Father sees us as Christ formed in us. Our lives are hidden and covered by Jesus. God wants us to know our true identity. Ephesians 1:17-19
3. God wants our eyes straight forward towards the TRUTH. He wants us to declare and take ownership of our inheritance and destiny.
Let's keep declaring whom We are In CHRIST
