Advent Conspiracy Pt. 2: Spend Less

Speaker – Crispin Schroeder

I. Intro: They Kept Shopping

Romans 1:21-23 (the Message) What happened was this: People knew God perfectly well, but when they didn't treat him like God, refusing to worship him, they trivialized themselves into silliness and confusion so that there was neither sense nor direction left in their lives. They pretended to know it all, but were illiterate regarding life. They traded the glory of God who holds the whole world in his hands for cheap figurines you can buy at any roadside stand.

II. The Secret of Happiness

Philippians 4:11-13 (The Message) I don't have a sense of needing anything personally. I've learned by now to be quite content whatever my circumstances. I'm just as happy with little as with much, with much as with little. I've found the recipe for being happy whether full or hungry, hands full or hands empty. Whatever I have, wherever I am, I can make it through anything in the One who makes me who I am.

III. What matters… What really matters?

“How do things stand between me and God? Where am I coming from, and where is my life in Christ growing?”

1. Set aside time for reflection

2. Reflection – Begin by looking over your day and thanking God for the gifts in your life.

3. Asking for Clarity – When you come across something in your day that you are not thankful for, some negative attitude or sin you participated in take this to God. Having thanked God for all the good gifts ask God for one more gift – to see clearly and in hope how I am growing more fully alive to God.

4. Examine – I carefully consider what my actions, omissions, thoughts, and desires tell me about my relationship with God, with myself, and with others.

5. Question – I patiently ask myself what my action or attitude meant. Did it embody the love of God or fear, peace or anxiety?

6. Closing – Finally I determine to keep my spirit filled with gratitude, and to take steps to get rid of mindsets that stand between me and my creator.

2010-08-15T17:25:00.000-07:00

Prayer: Intercession

Speaker: Crispin Schroeder

I. Why Pray? – If God is in control of everything then why should we even bother to Pray?

A. The original call of humans – Humans were created in God’s image and given _____________________________, _____________________________ and __________________________________. (Genesis 1:27-28)

B. Humans used their free will to disobey God and thus handed over their authority to the enemy.

C. The great commission (Matthew 28:19)

D. God brings forth his kingdom with people who choose to respond to him and be a part of his work. The body of Christ (1 Cor 12:17)

E. “Your kingdom come, your will be done on earth as it is in heaven…” (Matthew 6:10). We pray for God’s kingdom to come precisely because there are many things going on that are not God’s will.

II. Intercession – the action of intervening on behalf of another

• the action of saying a prayer on behalf of another person : prayers of intercession. 1Timothy 2:1-8

A. Pray for everyone especially rulers and authorities

Northshore Vineyard Church

I. Spiritual Warfare – 2 Pitfalls

1. Obsession With the Devil

Theodin: “I will not risk open war”

Aragorn: “Open war is upon you, whether you would risk it or not.” (from Lord of the Rings, The Two Towers)

II. The Enemy and the Fight (Ephesians 6:12, 2 Corinthians 4:4)

A. The enemy behind your enemy (a modern parable)

B. “Love your enemies…” Matthew 5:43-48

III. The Trap and The Way

A. The Trap - One of the greatest traps we can fall into in the Christian life is when we fail to distinguish the real enemy of our lives and to fight with the weapons of the world.

· Peter cuts off a servants ear

· James and John wish to call down fire

B. The Way

· Jesus loved his enemies and even prayed for them from the cross

· Paul and Silas in prison (Acts 16:25-34)

II. SIGNPOSTS

A. God has called all of his people to be signposts along the road of life, pointing to the life of the future, and the life of His kingdom.

B. After Jesus went to heaven, his followers got busy being signposts.

C. The Church (the Jesus followers) are to show the world, through their lives, what things would look like if God were running the world.

III. RISK

A. Matthew 6:33 (the Message) – “Steep your life in God-reality, God-initiative, God provisions. Don’t worry about missing out (on stuff). You’ll find all your everyday human concerns will be met.” B. In order to be a signpost to the kingdom, there’s going to be some risk involved.

1. Risk of money, time, energy, comfort, safety . . .

IV. REWARD

4. Hot-Button issues

III. Slowing Down the Conversation through Active and Reflective Listening

When you’re the speaker:

1. Talk about your own thoughts, your own feelings, your own desires

2. Try to be concise and focused in your sharing. Use short sentences.

3. Correct your partner if you feel he/she has missed something

4. Continue speaking until you feel understood.

When you’re the listener:

1. Put your own agenda on hold.

2. Allow your partner to speak until he/she completes a thought.

3. Begin the phrase with “what I hear you saying is…” and then try to accurately reflect your partner’s words back. Avoid judging, interpreting or paraphrasing.

4. Then ask, “Is that correct?”

God With Us

II. The Incarnation and Incarnational Ministry

John 1:14

The Word became flesh and blood,

and moved into the neighborhood.

Generous inside and out,

true from start to finish.

III. Love and Listen

Romans 13:8-10 (the Message)

8-10Don't run up debts, except for the huge debt of love you owe each other. When you love others, you complete what the law has been after all along. The law code—don't sleep with another person's spouse, don't take someone's life, don't take what isn't yours, don't always be wanting what you don't have, and any other "don't" you can think of—finally adds up to this: Love other people as well as you do yourself. You can't go wrong when you love others. When you add up everything in the law code, the sum total is love.
