CLARITY / URGENCY / ACTION
1. Kingdom Clarity - clarity in its truest form is a gift given by God
~ This clarity is a result of God revealing his heart to our heart
~ through this he gives us:
- focus > helps us see what is really important in life
- understanding > helps us to see how he can use us in His plan
2. The Kingdom Clarity Test:
1. Do you have clarity when it comes to sin?
- sin is an unavoidable issue but is not unavoidable
- scripture makes it clear, there are consequences for sin
(Rom 6:23)
. Relational - with God and man (Isaiah 59:2)
. Circumstantial - you will reap what you sow (Gal 6:8-9)
. Spiritual - (Rom 6:21)
- What is sin to you, friend or foe?
”Fear nothing but God, Hate nothing but sin”
(John Wesley)
2. Do you have clarity about the church?
- you make this church what it is
- membership has its privileges or responsibilities?
3. Do you have clarity when it comes to loving God?
- all your heart…soul…mind…and strength
4. Do you have clarity when it comes to loving your neighbor?
- not limited to next door (how did Jesus define neighbor?)
Kingdom Clarity will bring Kingdom Urgency will bring Kingdom Action.
