Speaker: NCCF Church Title: NCCF Church Sharing Date: 09/06/2020 Our Goal as Christians is this: To be an exact reflection of Jesus, the Son of God (Romans 8:29) We do this individually by growing in purity in our personal lives (1 John 3:2-3) We do this corporately by becoming fully functioning members of a local Church (Ephesians 4:11-16)

Summary

The speaker encourages the audience to love God supremely, drawing parallels from John 21 where Peter abandoned everything for Jesus. He then applies this principle to daily life, focusing on doing everything in love, particularly in marriage and parenting. He emphasizes that loving one's wife requires nourishing and cherishing her like one's own body, and parenting requires discipline modeled after God's gentle correction, ultimately relying on God's promise of a new heart.

Loving God more than anything elseThe speaker shares how God is teaching him in this season to love Him supremely, inspired by the story in John 21 where Peter leaves his catch of fish immediately to be with Jesus.

Desiring nothing on earth besides GodLooking at Psalm 73, the speaker expresses his desire to be like Peter who wanted nothing else in heaven or earth besides Jesus, trusting the Holy Spirit to help him reach that state.Psalms 73:25

Doing all things in loveThe speaker shares a conviction from 1 Corinthians 16:14 to do everything in love, especially in his home life, even when he does not feel like it.1 Corinthians 16:14

Nourishing and cherishing your wifeBased on Ephesians 5, the speaker reflects on how husbands must love and cherish their wives' bodies just as they care for their own, addressing small emotional splinters rather than leaving them unaddressed.Ephesians 5:28

Correcting children properlyAs a new parent seeking wisdom to correct his toddler in love, the speaker looks to Jeremiah 46 to see how God corrects His children properly while remaining present with them.Jeremiah 46:28

Sharing personal experience of the LordReflecting on Psalm 34:8, the speaker explains that telling others about the Lord is not about condemning them with hell or presenting sophisticated arguments, but inviting them to experience that the Lord is good based on one's own eyewitness-like story.

Running to God as poor and needyDrawing from Psalm 40 and Psalm 34, the speaker realizes he cannot overcome sin by his own resolve alone, but must come to God daily acknowledging his poverty and neediness for help.

Finding faith through past encouragementRecalling an old email from a mentor during a time of uncertainty, the speaker testifies that God is truly a good God, and whoever takes refuge in Him is blessed.

Adoption as sons through God's kindnessReflecting on Ephesians 1, the speaker marvels that God knew all his sins yet chose by His kindness to adopt him as a son, providing hope to cry out 'Abba, Father' instead of operating out of fear.

Trading filthy clothes for Christ's righteousnessDrawing on Philippians 4 and imagery from Zechariah and Revelation, the speaker reminds himself that God supplies all needs, allowing him to trade dirty clothes for Christ's righteousness step by step by the Holy Spirit.
