Activate (Part 6): Making the dream a reality

Final Piece: Give 100%.

Mark 12:30 Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.'

Luke 9:23-25 23Then he said to them all: "If anyone would come after me, he must deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me. 24For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for me will save it. 25What good is it for a man to gain the whole world, and yet lose or forfeit his very self?

Matthew 10:37-39 37"Anyone who loves his father or mother more than me is not worthy of me; anyone who loves his son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me; 38and anyone who does not take his cross and follow me is not worthy of me. 39Whoever finds his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life for my sake will find it.

John 10:10 … I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.

Life lived to the full is a life lived FULLY devoted! Always remember… if you only give 50% today, you CAN’T make it up tomorrow. Tomorrow you cannot give 150%. That 50% you didn’t give is forever LOST.

Revelation 2:1-5 4Yet I hold this against you: You have forsaken your first love. 5Remember the height from which you have fallen! Repent and do the things you did at first. If you do not repent, I will come to you and remove your lampstand from its place.

1. Don’t get sucked into the RAT RACE.

Revelation 3:15-17 15I know your deeds, that you are neither cold nor hot. I wish you were either one or the other! 16So, because you are lukewarm—neither hot nor cold—I am about to spit you out of my mouth. 17You say, 'I am rich; I have acquired wealth and do not need a thing.' But you do not realize that you are wretched, pitiful, poor, blind and naked.

2. Don’t get held back by SMALL THINKING.

Matthew 19:26 … with God all things are possible.

Mark 9:23 … Everything is possible for him who believes.

3. Don’t let FEAR hold you back.

Matthew 10:28 Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather, be afraid of the One who can destroy both soul and body in hell.

Next Step: Give all you are and have to doing LIFE God’s way.

Memorize: Luke 14:33 In the same way, any of you who does not give up everything he has cannot be my disciple.

Sex is a big deal. Everyone knows it. Sexual attraction and desire is one of the motivating factors for men and women getting married. Sexual frustration is one of the top marital issues, and one that can lead to divorce. Recent studies suggest that one in three marriages has problems linked to a lack of sexual activity. Why is it that so many people can't keep their hands off each other before they get married, but after the honeymoon they rarely touch each other? Why are so many couples dissatisfied with their sex life? Wives pretend to be sleeping or sick. Husbands are resentful. Where did the passion go? We've got problems and God's got answers!

Few topics stir passions and emotions more than human sexuality. Last year, Open Arms Community Church sparked water cooler conversations all over the region with their eye opening and frank series on sex.

This January, the saga continues as we embark on the journey of understanding sex by God's design and unleash the potential of your sexuality.
