“To be plainly instructed and consider well that the main end of your life and
studies is to know God and Jesus Christ.”
“Truth for Christ and the church.”
LEGACY: Where my life LIVES on.
What will you do that OUTLIVES you?
Matthew 9:9 As Jesus went on from there, he saw a man named Matthew sitting at
the tax collector’s booth. “Follow me,” he told him, and Matthew got up and
followed him.
Matthew 9:10-13 While Jesus was having dinner at Matthew’s house, many tax
collectors and sinners came and ate with him and his disciples. When the Pharisees
saw this, they asked his disciples, “Why does your teacher eat with tax collectors
and sinners?” On hearing this, Jesus said, “It is not the healthy who need a doctor,
but the sick. But go and learn what this means: ‘I desire mercy, not sacrifice.’ For I
have not come to call the righteous, but sinners.”
Matthew 9:13a But go and learn what this means: ‘I desire mercy, not sacrifice.’
Matthew 9:13b For I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners.”
Matthew 28:16-20 Then the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain
where Jesus had told them to go. When they saw him, they worshiped him; but
some doubted. Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on
earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations,
baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and
teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with
you always, to the very end of the age.”
We want to make it hard for people to go to hell by making it easy for them to
go to church so they can experience, know and follow Jesus.
Matthew 22:36-39 “Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?”
Jesus replied: “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul
and with all your mind.’ This is the first and greatest commandment. And the
second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’
1. I will intentionally GIVE what I have.
2 Corinthians 9:11 You will be made rich in every way so that you can be generous
on every occasion, and through us your generosity will result in thanksgiving to
God.
Become a PERCENTAGE giver.
2. I will intentionally SERVE others.
Matthew 20:26-28 Whoever wants to become great among you must be your
servant, and whoever wants to be first must be your slave—just as the Son of Man
did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.”
People that are LEFT to themselves will make LIFE about themselves.
NEXT STEPS slide
3. I will intentionally SHARE Christ.
2 Corinthians 5:20 NLT We are Christ’s ambassadors; God is making his appeal
through us.
Luke 14:23 LB Go out into the country...and urge anyone you find to come in, so
that My house will be full.
