Announcements
Welcome to the Day of Rest (Mark 2:27)
Scripture Reading
Luke 6:17-26 (NLT)
Scripture Reading Principles
Life that makes an impact
To accomplish anything meaningful with our lives, the power of God is needed: in life, work, relationships, and anything else.
Luke 6:17-26
Luke 6:18-19 (NLT)
18They (many people) had come to hear him (Jesus) and to be healed of their diseases; and those troubled by evil spirits were healed. 19Everyone tried to touch him, because healing power went out from him, and he healed everyone.
Luke 6:20-26 (NLT)
(20) Poor (beggars, in need) - God's kingdom! (goal, direction)
(21) Hungry - God will fill you!
(21) Weep - God satisfies (something so worth it!)
(22) People mock you for being that way - be happy!
(24) Rich - that's all you'll get
(25) Fat and prosperous - you'll be hungry
(25) Laugh - you'll have sorrow
(26) Praised - you missed the point!
Our Ask to God, as We Launch�75 people (40 members)�$100,000 given to people in need
This is God’s church! We need His power, His presence, His involvement!
Isaiah 40:29-31 He gives power to the weak and strength to the powerless. Even youths will become weak and tired, and young men will fall in exhaustion. But those who trust in the Lord will find new strength.
They will soar high on wings like eagles.�They will run and not grow weary.�They will walk and not faint.
Isaiah 57:15 The high and lofty one who lives in eternity, the Holy One, says this. “I live in the high and holy place with those whose spirits are contrite and humble. I restore the crushed spirit of the humble and revive the courage of those with repentant hearts.
2Corinthians 12:10 That’s why I take pleasure in my weaknesses, and in the insults, hardships, persecutions, and troubles that I suffer for Christ. For when I am weak, then I am strong.
What a hungry person who seeks�the power of God looks like
A Woman who had no cure�Luke 8:43-48
What a hungry person who seeks�the power of God looks like
Blind Bartimaeus�Mark 10:46-52
Be persistent in prayer! - Luke 11:9-13 (NLT)
9"And so I tell you, keep on asking, and you will receive what you ask for. Keep on seeking, and you will find. Keep on knocking, and the door will be opened to you. 10For everyone who asks, receives. Everyone who seeks, finds. And to everyone who knocks, the door will be opened. 11"You fathers—if your children ask for a fish, do you give them a snake instead? 12Or if they ask for an egg, do you give them a scorpion? Of course not! 13So if you sinful people know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him."
Our Vision�Be a Disciple, and Make Disciples
Come hungry and pray persistently�Make impacts relying on God’s power
When (feeling) full, repent, and get hungry again (God is bigger!!!)
Let’s come together to hold�each other accountable.
Ephesians 2:10 (NLT)
For we are God's masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago.
Life that makes an impact
To accomplish anything meaningful with our lives, the power of God is needed: in life, work, relationships, and anything else.
Luke 6:17-26
