DEVOTED

“Devoted to His Work (Generosity)”
Pastor Ben Johnson – March 17, 2024

EVERYONE is devoted to SOMETHING.

Acts 2:42-47 (NLT) – All the believers devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching, and to fellowship, and to sharing in meals (including the Lord’s Supper), and to prayer... And all the believers met together in one place and shared everything they had. They sold their property and possessions and shared the money with those in need… And each day the Lord added to their fellowship those who were being saved.

STOP living to IMPRESS OTHERS.

• I DESERVE

• The world OWES ME

• It’s NOT FAIR

Philippians 2:6-11 – Though he was God, he did not think of equality with God as something to cling to. Instead, he gave up his divine privileges; he took the humble position of a slave and was born as a human being. When he appeared in human form, he humbled himself in obedience to God and died a criminal’s death on a cross. Therefore, God elevated him to the place of highest honor and gave him the name above all other names, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue declare that Jesus Christ is Lord…

Because what Christ has done for us,

let’s make a SIGNIFICANT DIFFERENCE for him.

Galatians 6:10 (NLT) – Therefore, whenever we have the opportunity, we should do good to everyone—especially to those in the family of faith.

Letting go of…
