Hey Mergers!

Pastor Gracie blessed us with an impassioned, poignant message on Sunday.  Here are the notes in case you missed it.

Sharing Your Faith

If God made you a promise it's not just for you. He gives to us that we might share with one another.  Most of us don't know anything about the gospel.  The scripture says that we are forever learning and never coming to the knowledge of the truth. 

Maybe we can't teach share the gospel because we don't know Jesus so all we can depend on is what someone else says to you and not what God is speaking. If we cannot give the gospel that God is speaking, then we are in error. 

God gave us what he gave us so that we could share it.  God is the greatest example of sharing. He gave his own son that we may have salvation.

Definition of faith: firm believe in something of which there is no proof.

We need to have faith in God, but it's also important for God to have faith in us in order to trust us and not destroy us.  God is banking on us for some things that we haven't manifested yet. God believes so much in us that he allowed us to partake in salvation through Jesus as his children (not step children)

Reason we can wrap our minds around this culture of faith because we don't know the savior.

We have come into the belief that we are divine and don't need help from God.  When we step out alone without God its like trying to put a round org into a square hole. It'll never work.

God is saying I have already given you breakthrough, but we have continued to vascilate negating his work. He wants to give us a breakout!

God is saying "stop hearing me and not listening."

Paul said the revelation that I gave I didn't get from a man (men are imperfect vessels that can be tainted), but from the lord.

God is saying "hear the word of the Lord."

We don't have testimonies anymore because most people don't know how good God has been; because we keep trying to do it alone and subsequently keep going through the same things over and over again.

God is doing a new thing, but if you don't know him it will cause you to fear the new thing and you'll miss the move of God.
