Playlist: Something Just Like This

Playlist “Something Just Like This”

From the moment I heard this song it had me in memory lane! And I was that kid in the music video…blanket cape, Batman belt…and off to save Gotham! Crazy as I grew up how my perception changed to not seeing myself on that list with Spiderman, Super Man, Batman…“They are superheroes…I’m just me!” I let that mindset invade my walk with Jesus too…“No way you can use me Lord…my story isn’t superhuman like theirs”. And if we are honest…don’t we all feel that way? Abraham felt the same way in the Bible! This week is all about the Teach over the Preach!
This week’s Playlist Song is by Coldplay and The Chainsmokers: https://youtu.be/FM7MFYoylVs

  • Abraham
  • Ishmael
    • Abram’s son with Hagar Genesis 16
    • Patriarch of Islam and Mohammed is in his lineage
    • Had 12 sons who were princes
      • Just like the 12 tribes of Israel through Jacob
    • Regarded as the sacrifice Abraham brought to God not Isaac
  • Why is this important?
    • When We Take God’s Promises In Our Own Hands We Always End Up Hurting People
      • Christians and Muslims have fought wars against each other for decades and still do!
    • When We Are Obedient and Available to God’s Promises We Always End Up Blessing People Isaiah 6:8

The Story of Abraham is a Story of God’s faithfulness to an unfaithful people. We’ve been searching for Eden and a relationship with God since the beginning of time…something we can turn to…something we can’t resist! And God has been telling us all along He doesn’t need a Superhero…He just needs us to be obedient and available! He always works His extraordinary through the most ordinary people! You may not be who you want to be, but you are exactly who God needs you to be!

Take Away:
Who or what is God asking you to be available to? How is He asking you to be obedient to it?

 

What’s the one way you will obey and the one way you will become more available to God’s Promise to you?

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!
