The Good and Beautiful Community - Part 8 Revelation 1:12-20

TRANSCRIPT

Revelation  2:3-­‐5    -­‐    I  know  you  are  enduring  patiently  and  bearing  up  for  my  name's  sake,  and  you  have  not  grown  weary.  But  I  have  this  against  you:  that  you  have  abandoned  the  love  you  had  at  first.  Remember  therefore  from  where  you  have  fallen;  repent,  and  do  the  works  you  did  at  first.  If  not,  I  will  come  to  you  and  remove  your  lampstand  from  its  place,  unless  you  repent.

FALSE  NARRATIVES  

FALSE  NARRATIVES  !

Proverbs  14:12    -­‐  There  is  a  way  that  seems  right  to  a  man,  but  in  the  end  it  leads  to  death.  !

FALSE  NARRATIVES  !

Matthew  7:13:  “Wide  is  the  gate  and  broad  is  the  road  that  leads  to  destruction,  and  many  enter  through  it.  But  small  is  the  gate  and  narrow  the  road  that  leads  to  life,  and  only  a  few  find  it.    

FALSE  NARRATIVES  !

               1.  Humans  are  defined  by  their  work  

TRUE  NARRATIVE  !

               1.  Humans  are  defined  by  their  relationship          with  Jesus.  

“In  our  own  contemporary  context  of  the  rat  race  of  anxiety,  the  celebration  of  Sabbath  is  an  act  of  resistance.  It  is  resistance  because  it  is  a  visible  insistence  that  our  lives  are  not  defined  by  the  production  and  consumption  of  commodity  goods.  Such  an  act  of  resistance  requires  enormous  intentionality  and  communal  reinforcement  amid  the  barrage  of  seductive  pressures  from  the  insatiable  insistences  of  the  market.”  

FALSE  NARRATIVES  !

               1.  My  life  is  defined  by  my  work.                  2.  My  life  is  defined  by  me.  

FALSE  NARRATIVES  !

               1.  “Worship  is  a  personal,  private  matter  between                  each  individual  and  God.”  

FALSE  NARRATIVES  !

               1.  “Worship  is  a  personal,  private  matter  between                    myself  and  God.”                  2.  “Worship  is  where  my  spiritual  interests  and                     preferences  are  the  priority”  

TRUE  NARRATIVE  !

               1.  I  am  are  defined  by  my  relationship  with  Jesus.                  2.  I  am  defined  by  my  relationship  to  the  community             of  believers  

I  Peter  2:9    -­‐  You  are  a  Chosen  People,  a  Royal  Priesthood,  a  Holy  Nation,  a  People  belonging  to  God  that  you  may  declare  the  praises  of  him  who  called  you  out  of  darkness  into  his  wonderful  light.  

Perhaps  you  getting  something  out  of  the  service  is  not  quite  as  important  as  what  your  presence  gives  the  rest  of  us.  

FALSE  NARRATIVES  !

               1.  My  life  is  defined  by  my  work.                  2.  My  life  is  defined  by  me.  

TRUE  NARRATIVE  !

               1.  I  am  are  defined  by  my  relationship  with  Jesus.                  2.  I  am  defined  by  my  relationship  to  the  community             of  believers
