SUNDAY'S SERMON
RADICAL GOSPEL
Sept. 5, 2010
Radicalis: Developing Spiritual Roots
"I am not ashamed of the gospel because it is the power of God for the salvation of everyone who believes; first for the Jew, then for the Gentile. For in the gospel a righteousness from God is revealed, a righteousness that is by faith from first to last, just as it is written, "The righteous will live by faith." Romans 1:16-17

"RADICAL FAITH"
Radicalis: A Live Rooted in God
August 15, 2010
"Without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to Him must believe He exists and that He rewards those who earnestly seek Him." Hebrews 11:6 (NIV)
RADICAL FAITH IS having deep spiritual roots in God, believing God and acting on
His promises1. Faith is believing when I don't see it. (Hebrews 11:1 (NIV)
Faith is visualizing the future in the present
Faith is seeing in advance.2. Faith is obeying when I don't understand it. Hebrews 11:7 (NLT) Heb. 11:8 (TEV)
Examples: Abraham & Noah
Obedience always involves taking risks
Whenever God asks you to do something, it's a test. It's a test of your faith. Who/What am I going to trust?3. Faith is persisting when I don't feel like it Heb. 11:27 (NLT) Heb 11:1(NLT)
How do you get there?
-You begin to see the invisible
-You see what God can do in your life.4. Faith is announcing it in order to experience it. Heb. 11:22 (NLT); Heb 11:3 (MSG); Psalm 33:9 (NIV); Rom 4:11 (NIV); Rom 4:17 (LB); Rom. 10:10 (TEV)
You say it to sense it.
5. Faith is giving from the heart. Heb. 11:4 (GN); 2 Cor 8:2-3 (ICB); Prov. 3:9 (LB); 1 Cor. 16:2 (LB)
Two ways you can give: You can give by reason or you can give by revelation.
It's not about your money! It's about your faith!6. Faith is thanking God before I receive it. Heb 11:30 (NIV); Mark 11:24 (GN); Matt 9:29 (NLT)
If I begin the day with Thanksgiving, I will live a life of faith
7. Faith is trusting God if I don't get it. Heb 11:39-40 (NIV); Rom 10:17 (NIV)
Why does real faith develop in the valleys of life, not in the mountains?
RADICAL GRATITUDE
Aug 8, 2010
"Radicals": a life rooted in God
Latin: Radicalis= from the 14th century Latin word "radicales"
"RADICAL" MEANS "FROM THE ROOTS."
(Colissians 2:6-7; Ephesians 3:17-19;Matthew 13:21; 2 Kings 19:30)
What we need today are "Radical-believers.." who go back to what God intended for us to do in the first place.
"But blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord, whose confidence is in him. He will be like a tree planted by the water that sends out its roots by the stream. It does not fear when heat comes; its leaves are always green. It has no worries in a year of drought and never fails to bear fruit." Jeremiah 17:7 & 8
3 Truths:
"Give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus." 1 Thess 5:18 (NIV)
WHY IS GRATITUDE ALWAYS GOD'S WILL?
THE BENEFITS OF RADICAL GRATITUDE
How will you practice the 5 ways this week?
