Series: Trail Guide to Glory - "Do Not Worry" Luke 12:1-12

LIVE COURAGEOUSLY YET SERVE COMPASSIONATELY.

She WELCOMED Jesus Christ into HER HOME
She SENSED THE SIGNIFICANCE of the moment, and she SEIZED THE DAY
She VALUED RELATIONSHIPS more than ACTIVITY
She KEPT HER VALUES in spite of her SISTERS CRITICISM

Our attitude should be one of HUMBLE SERVANTHOOD toward our CHURCH family.

Our attitude should be one of GRACIOUS ACCEPTANCE toward other BELIEVERS.

Our attitude should be one of PATIENT TOLERANCE toward HOSTILE believers.

Our attitude should be one of DECISIVE ALLEGIANCE toward the LORD.

"A SECURITY SEEKER"

"A PROCRASTINATOR"

"A HESITANT HOMEBODY"

Remain (John 15)
"Chosen" John 15:14-17

  CHOSEN people don't get that caught up in CHOOSING sides.

I chose you on PURPOSE and I chose you for a PURPOSE..

Jesus doesn't accept APPLICATIONS. He offers INVITATIONS.

Being CHOSEN Should give us UNITY amongst each other.

Being CHOSEN means you should't be OFFENDED.

Love
Joy 
Sacrifice

John 15:9-13

1. Unexpected STORM.

2. Unexpected DISEASE (SIN).

3. Unexpected GRAFTING.

John 15

Pruning feels PAINFUL but it isn't  PUNISHMENT.


Pruning feels POINTLESS now, but it's PRODUCTIVE later

John 15:5
