South Carolina Sunday Service 2020-01-26

Love is a choice. When you choose love you are sacrificing everything about you, every single thing that relates to you is gone. If any of those things about you remain you’re not walking in love you’re walking in you.

Service Notes For Sunday South Carolina 2020-01-26

SPEAKERS:

  • Steve Atherton

SCRIPTURES USED:

  • Romans 12:1, 1 John 4:18, Acts 11:26

SUBJECT:

  • What is the key to being great at carrying out His Word?  The real key is love.  God is love.
  • Love is a choice.  When you choose love, you are sacrificing everything about you, every single thing that relates to you is gone.  If any of those things about you remain you’re not walking in love, you’re walking in you.
  • You have to step out in faith and want to deliver what He has.
  • Being instant in season and out of season is standing up and ministering the oracles of God.
  • The key to ministering comes down to love. If you’re going to minister it comes down to loving others before yourself.
  • Do you have confidence that “greater is He that is in you than He that is in the world”?  If you have all that confidence, why haven’t you been doing His will?
  • If this body is going to stand up and be a great army carrying out His Word, you have to be willing to stand up and love those people and stand up in Christ to move through you for their sake.
  • If you fear them you know His love is not yet made perfect in you.  If it’s not made perfect in you there’s too much you in that equation. 
  • The choice to love involves sacrifice.  When you do what you want to do you miss a promise of God, joy.  If you know and experience the joy of the Lord it exceeds every fleshly thing you could enjoy. 
  • You will never get the joy of the Lord unless you embrace the responsibility of the decision to present your body a living sacrifice, gladly. 
  • The Lord is seeking to teach you that His way of love and sacrifice of self is the absolute best and most joyous way there is.  It beats everything you’re giving up.
  • When you choose love over self, that is winning the good fight of faith, in making that choice you’re choosing against every natural sense you have.  The Lord wants each of you to take the place in His body.
  • The impact of Christ in the lives of others (because you love them before yourself all day, every day), that is a mighty army.
  • Bring the Spirit of God in everything you do, if you walk in the love of Christ, the Spirit of God will back you up. 
  • You can’t walk in that new life divine unless you make the choice.  As you make the choice, the impact that your words and actions have will grow dramatically.
  • There’s nothing that the love of God cannot bridge.  Have a confidence that the Lord is going to move because you love others.
