“Forgetting What’s Behind”

John 10:10

  • We are called to live a life with Holy Wreckless Abandon
  • We are all going to be crushed by God! Either crushed by His wrath on our sin or crushed by His mercy & grace because we believe in Jesus who has already taken wrath for us!

Philippians 3:13
1 Kings 14:7-9

  1. David Had AMAZING Potential
    • 1 Samuel 16 ; Psalm 139:13-16
      • We read from 1 Kings and say…hold up God! “David did what was right in your sight and kept your Commands”? Maybe You don’t know the same David I know!
      • We get to live a life where God takes us from the Sheep Field to the Palace
      • God wants to take us from HERE to a better THERE
      • God has made you for a specific purpose…but it starts with spreading the Gospel
  2. David Sinned
    • 2 Samuel 11:1-5
      • We drift from God when we neglect our Purpose and get Lazy
        • David wasn’t living out his purpose of being King and going to battle
      • This lead to David killing Uriah (who was living out his calling)
      • David sent his accountability out to battle
      • He knew exactly what he was doing when he went to the roof! He could have had any one he wanted…but when his focus changed to something he couldn’t have he wanted to go after it! Sin does that to us!
      • Sin takes you farther than you want to go, makes us stay longer than we are willing to stay and makes us pay more than we are willing to pay!
  3. David Confessed and Repented
  4. When we see ourselves the way God sees us (like God see David in 2 Kings) we can forget what’s behind by celebrating how God brought us through it!
    • You also have AMAZING Potential! Your Story magnifies that! Share it & watch God Move!

TakeAway:

  • Who is the ONE person you will share your story with this week to show what you have “forgotten behind”?

Founder and Lead Pastor of thevine.tv Realtor® with The Ott Group at Ponce Realty Group LLC (www.theponcerealtygroup.com) Theodore Roosevelt describes in “The Arena” a man who boldly stepped out of the seats & into the Arena! The Arena I get to fight in is to help others live an abundant life by finding the gifts that God has given them and helping them take their next step by fulfilling the calling God has on their lives! Growing up in a widowed home from the age of 2, I experienced the dependence of faith, the importance of family, the foundation of integrity, the value of loyalty and the success that can be achieved through hard work. Whether expanding Walgreens from 4000 to 8000 healthcare stores, or stepping out in faith to be a part of launching a NewSpring Church Campus--faith, family, integrity, loyalty and hard work are fingerprints of me being involved! Each experience I have stepped into has allowed me to develop invaluable relationships that have not only achieved remarkable results, but more importantly made an impact on the lives of others that will last beyond this lifetime...a cause worthy to fight for! Can't wait to see how Jesus continues to #JoinSpartanburg at #thevinetv and the Local Church Around the World!
