NOTES:

Yes, they knew God, but they wouldn’t worship him as God or even give him thanks. And they began to think up foolish ideas of what God was like. As a result, their minds became dark and confused. Claiming to be wise, they instead became utter fools. And instead of worshiping the glorious, ever-living God, they worshiped idols made to look like mere people and birds and animals and reptiles. So God abandoned them to do whatever shameful things their hearts desired. As a result, they did vile and degrading things with each other’s bodies. They traded the truth about God for a lie. So they worshiped and served the things God created instead of the Creator himself, who is worthy of eternal praise! Amen.

Romans 1:21–25 (NLT)

When GRATITUDE dies, WORSHIP drifts.

When WORSHIP drifts, TRUTH collapses.

When TRUTH collapses, God gives you what you WANT.

THE MIRROR

Question 1: What is it that you THANK God for and what is that you feel like God OWES you?  

Question 2: What DISAPPOINTMENT hits you the hardest… and lingers the longest?

Question 3: Where have you confused “FREEDOM” with “being handed over”?

THE MAP

Make TRUTH louder than the ROOM

AWE that re-centers you

BOTTOM LINE:

What you CENTER becomes what you SERVE.

What you SERVE becomes who you ARE
