What you rely on to sustain you determines the kind of life you will have.Seven "I AM""I am the resurrection and the life."John 6:26-35 (NLT)"If we find ourselves with a desire that nothing in this world can satisfy, the most probable explanation is that we were made for another world." - C.S. LewisJohn 6:26-27 (NLT)"Jesus doesn’t just give us bread—He is the bread. He is what your soul has been searching for." - Timothy Keller"God is most glorified in us when we are most satisfied in Him." - John PiperIf what sustains you is temporary, your hunger will always return.John 6:35 (NLT)What are you feeding your soul? Because what you rely on to sustain you determines the kind of life you will have.1. Come to Him DailyJohn 6:352. Stop Chasing the Wrong BreadJohn 6:27"The spiritual hunger of the human heart can never be satisfied by material things." - John Stott3. Believe and Trust Him FullyJohn 6:29"I am the bread of life. Come to me, and you will never hunger again."What you rely on to sustain you determines the kind of life you will have.

A church without power is just another social club. We don’t want to be a social club.Acts 4:13Matthew 16:24 (NLT)The Greek word for abide is meno, meaning toremain, stay, dwell, or make your home in.Studies show that meditating on Jesus literally rewires your brain, restoring neuroplasticity and mental health. Spending time with Him isn’t just a spiritual act—it’s a healing one.“If the devil can’t make you sin, he’ll make you busy.”Matthew 11:28-30 (NLT)John 14:16 (NLT)Follow Jesus closely. Flow in His presence. Fire through the Holy Spirit.

Acts 2:42-47 NLTPART OF THE HUMAN EXPERIENCE IS THAT WE ALL LONG TO BELONG.3 Things to Pull From Acts 2:1. Devoted to a Different Way of Life Acts 2:42We say we want community, but we structure our lives toavoid it.We crave deep relationships, but we keep ourselves busy and distracted. We want to be known, but we fear being fully seen.Jesus saved my life, but the church changed my life.2. Marked by the Power and Presence of GodActs 2:43 Miracles happened at meals. Healing happened in homes. Breakthroughs happened in circles, not just in rows. We discuss theology, but we don’t expect transformation. We gather in small groups, but we don’t contend for miracles. We attend services, but we don’t walk in supernatural expectancy.But a church without power is just another social club.3. Radically Generous and Sacrificial Acts 2:44-45The world says, “Protect yourself.” The gospel says, “Lay down your life.”Acts 2:46-47We want to honor the past but we have eyes for the future.

Matthew 1:23 NLT We may enjoy God on the mountaintops, but we get to know Himintimately in the valleys. Psalm 84:5-7 What you think about matters! Way is through, not out! He’s your Light in Darkness He’s your Peace in the Storm He’s your Joy in the Trouble He’s your Strength when You’re Weak Psalm 139:7-10

Matthew 7:11 NLT We need to worry less about today’s happiness and more about tomorrow’s readiness.3 Ways Our Giving May Hurt Them: 1. We give them things they didn’t earn.One of the best things we can do is give our children the blessing of earning the blessings.2. We give them praise they don’t deserve.It’s better to praise the process than to praise the person.3. We give them freedoms they can’t handle.Deuteronomy 6:4-93 Gifts to Give Your Children: 1. A community worth having.Deuteronomy 6:4 Who and what you expose your children to, will shape whothey become and what they believe. Proverbs 13:20 NLT You can’t pick your children’s friends, but you can influencethe environments you put them in.2. A standard worth achieving.Deuteronomy 6:53. A faith worth sharing.Deuteronomy 6:7

The Shema: Deuteronomy 6:4-9 What Are We Doing Wrong? 1. We risk too little. Hebrews 11:6 2. We rescue too quickly. Galatians 6:7 3. We model too weakly. When it comes to parenting in the early years, more is caught than taught. Mark 7:6 What Can We Do Better? To help our children love God: - Who and what you expose your children to will shape who they become and what they believe. - We can’t force our children to love God, but we can expose them to the people and experiences that increase the likelihood of spiritual growth. What experiences should we expose our children to? 1. Expose them to the joy of knowing God personally. John 17:3 2. Expose them to the presence and power of God in His church. We can’t force our children to love God, but we can expose them to the people and experiences that increases the likelihood of spiritual growth.

Daniel 6:4 Daniel 6:16-22 How do we grow in consistency? 1. START WITH THE END IN MIND Daniel 1:8 NKJV 2. EMBRACE THE PROCESS Daniel 6:10 3. FOCUS ON PROGRESS NOT PERFECTION "Perfection is the enemy of progress." - Winston Churchill Philippians 3:12-13

1 Corinthians 10:31 The prize is in what you do daily (for the glory of God). WHAT IF THE WORK IS THE REWARD? WHAT IF THE PRIZE IS IN THE PROCESS? WHAT IF YOU CAN BE GRATEFUL IN THE GRIND? 1 Corinthians 15:9-10 “No, I worked harder than all of them—yet not I, but the grace of God that was with me.” - Paul THE THREE ENEMIES OF THE TRUE REWARD: 1. The Pillow: the seduction of comfort. - Easy never changed the world. 2. The Shiny Thing: the allure of constant distractions. 3. The Towel: the perpetual temptation to quit. You can throw in the towel or you can use it to wipe the sweat off your face. Instead of pursuing selfish passion, pursue God’s purpose. Acts 20:24 Purpose helps me feel passionate about ordinary things. Do it all for the glory of God! Prize is now! Work is the reward. The prize is in the process. Grateful in the grind.

The Jesus way, the way above is to take up your cross and follow him. Matthew 23:11 SERVANTHOOD IS OUR MODEL I AM A SERVANT , OF THE MOST HIGH GOD WHAT ARE YOU ALWAYS DOING? Acts 9:36 HOW DO WE BECOME A FAITHFUL SERVANT? 1. BRING A LUNCH 1 Samuel 17:17-18 2. OFFER A RIDE Luke 19:31 3. CARRY A TOWEL John 13:4-5 WHAT ARE YOU ALWAYS DOING? John 15:13 When you serve others—You are serving Christ! If someone were to tell people what you are always doing, what would they say? Matthew 23:11

Matthew 16:24 John 20:19 Acts 4:8-10 We speak boldly about what we believe deeply! Acts 4:12-13 How amazed are people by your boldness for Christ? Unmoved 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 Amazed How do we grow in BOLDNESS? 1. Spend More Time with Jesus Acts 4:13 2. Ask God to Make You Bold Acts 4:29 1 Corinthians 2:9 Revelations 21:1-5 We speak boldly about what we believe deeply!

What do you do when you feel like God let you down? Luke 2:10-12 Matthew 1:18-19 Two Truths Help You When You Don’t Understand: 1. You don’t have to understand the plan to trust God has a purpose. Proverbs 19:21 Matthew 1:20-21 2. Your disappointment with God might actually be a divine appointment from God. You don’t have to understand a plan when trusting God has a purpose. Mary and Joseph had a Plan. God had a purpose. You were that purpose. Matthew 1:21

If you are on a continuous search to be offended, you will always find what you are looking for! Being offended is inevitable. Living offended is a choice. Romans 12:14-18 Eulogeo—(yoo-log-eh’-o) To speak well of, to wish the best blessings for someone. Romans 12:1 So how do we love others? We lay down our natural responses We lay down our selfish desires We lay down our want to get even Romans 12:16 Jesus didn’t tell us to be right. He told us to be loving. Stop listening to respond, Listen to understand! The Devil wants your story based on accusations. God wants your story rooted in love! Ephesians 4:2 NLT Your life is too short and your calling is too great to be offended by something so small! Proverbs 19:11 Love doesn’t seek to win the argument. Love seeks to protect the relationship. Romans 12:18

As a prisoner for the Lord, then, I urge you to live a life worthy of the calling you have received. Ephesians 4:1 Legacy is where my life lives on. So how do I leave the right legacy? 1. Give to something that will outlive you. 2. Live so that your life out lives you. For we are co-workers in God’s service; you are God’s field, God’s building. By the grace God has given me, I laid a foundation as a wise builder, and someone else is building on it. But each one should be built with care. For no one can lay any foundation other than the one already laid, which is Jesus Christ. If anyone builds on this foundation using gold, silver, costly stones, wood, hay or straw, their work will be shown for what it is, because the Day will bring it to light. It will be revealed with fire, and the fire will test the quality of each person’s work. If what has been built survives, the builder will receive a reward. If it is burned up, the builder will suffer loss but yet will be saved—even though only as one escaping through the flames. 1 Corinthians 3:9-15 I will intentionally give what I have. I will Intentionally serve others. I will intentionally share Christ. Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen. Ephesians 3:20
