The 2nd day of our reflections on Ambition and lining our ambitions up with what the Ambitions of Jesus are.
Day 1 Ambition to Grow
As part of the Challenge from Alan on Sunday, let’s take time each day this week to reflect on the ambitions from Mark 9:30-50. We are posting the clips from the sermon each day to help refresh what Alan shared.
Abundance
Scott challenges us with the idea that our abundance is an opportunity to bless other people.
We are all rich in some way, but the question is what are we going to do with our wealth?
Are You In Lo-Debar?
Alan encourages us with a reflection from the Old Testament. Sometimes it feels like we have lost everything, but remember: the King of the Universe wants to care for us.
Read: 2 Samuel 9
Core Truth
Scott encourages us to allow God to tell us the truth about who we are and reminds us that because we are right with God we can head with confidence into whatever’s next.
Read: Ephesians 6 (emphasis on the Breastplate of Righteousness)
Stand Still and Let Him Catch You
Esther shares something that struck her in reading 2 chronicles 20:17 and through the song Goodness of God. Sometimes we need to stop and allow God’s goodness to catch you.
Hear the song here:
Judgement
Explore some words of Jesus about judgement and consider with Alan what it means for your own journey.
God’s Got This
Scott invites us to trust our lives to God and watch attacks of anxiety and fear be extinguished with God’s power. Read: Ephesians 6:10-18 (emphasis on Shield of Faith) Remember: God’s got this!
Small things can make all the difference
Chris shares a reminder he received about how God can use the small things in life to have big impacts. From a story from Rising Above: https://www.facebook.com/risingabovegp/posts/1162074800897735
