WHAT HAVE WE RECEIVED? • BECAUSE THE KINGDOM OF GOD IS INVISIBLE WE ONLY KNOW WHAT WE HAVE RECEIVED WHEN WE START TO GIVE IT AWAY. • WHAT IS THE FIRST THING WE GIVE? • IT IS OUR HEART • WHO DO WE GIVE OUR HEART TO? • HOW DO WE KNOW WE HAVE GIVEN IT?
WHAT WE DO WITH WHAT WE HAVE RECEIVED! • THE SECOND THING WE GIVE: TO KNOW WE HAVE COMMITED TO THE KINGDOM IS: • OUR WORD - WITH YOUR WHOLE BEING YOU EMBRACE GOD SETTING THINGS RIGHT, THEN YOU SAY IT, RIGHT OUT LOUD “GOD HAS SET EVERYTHING RIGHT BETWEEN HIM AND ME” Rom 10:10 The message.
HOW DO WE KEEP WHAT WE HAVE RECEIVED? • TAKE A STEP OF FAITH. • USUALLY THE FIRST STEPS OF FAITH ARE REWARDED INSTANTLY. FURTHER STEPS OF FAITH MAY NOT HAVE ANY VISIBLE SIGN THAT WHAT WE ARE ASKING OR SEEKING IS GIVEN.WE WALK BY FAITH,NOT BY SIGHT 2 CORINTHIANS 5:7.
HOW IS IT EVIDENT TO OTHERS WE HAVE RECEIVED? • WE GIVE OURSELVES TO THE LORD, THEN TO THOSE GOD HAS CALLED US TO WALK WITH. 2 CORINTHIANS 8:5. • AT CORNERSTONE COMMUNITY: • WE ARE A GROUP OF PEOPLE (A GATHERING) WHO ARE ‘WITH’ THOSE THAT LEAD THE VISION FORWARD – WITH – OUR FAITH, TIME AND ACTION
