19 March 2023 - ENCS

Pastor Josh continued the series on relationships this day
All of them are in the context of God’s big picture, he did say
We are to have an abundant life, per John ten verse ten
But so then why do we face challenges again and again?

Chrina Hansen from Rohei Philippines with us did share
Comfort has a habit of slipping away, despite much prayer
But their massive grief is where God’s vision in them began
God made room in their lives and hearts to see His plan 

We should deny ourselves and follow Jesus, per Mark eight
Matthew eighteen states that the least of us shall be great
To do service for other people is the position of leadership
If we follow God’s own heart, He will us adequately equip

Submission is a topic discussed in James chapter four 
Romans thirteen and Ephesians six add that much more
Gifts, talents, and opportunities can fall into submission 
Submission is what is given, what is taken is oppression

In summary, Josh said surrender, self-sacrifice, submission
Surrender your life to really live per The Great Commission
Self-sacrifice as the last will be first, per servant leadership
Submission personally, positionally, preferentially on life's trip

We should not lose heart, as per Second Corinthians four
Regardless of outwardly wasting, inward renewal is more
Our momentary troubles help us to achieve an eternal glory
So we should keep our eyes focused on the unseen eternity
