"God's got big plans for you. He really does. You say, well, what gives you, how do you know that? Hey, check this out. Check this out. The Bible, somebody say the Bible. In Ephesians chapter three, verse 20, there's a Bible verse that the apostle Paul wrote and says, now what to him that is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that you can ask or think." [00:34:53] (20 seconds)
"According to the power that works inside of you, God says, hey, I got big plans. They're bigger than what you can even ask me to do. It's bigger than what you can imagine. Imagine I've got big plans for you. Ephesians chapter two, verse 10 in the New Testament, it says this, that in Christ, that God created us anew. This is what it means to be in the relationship, to be born again." [00:35:04] (21 seconds)
"To do the things that God has planned for us a long time ago. What's amazing is when we open up the word of God and we study God's word, we learn that God says so many incredible things about what it means to be in a relationship with him and how this relationship impacts us. So as we just said to the person next to us, God's got big plans for you." [00:35:31] (23 seconds)
"And what we said last week, we kicked off the series. This is kind of like part two to the introduction to the series was this, that God's plan for you is to be in a relationship that in 2025, we're going to chase after the I musts of the word of God. Because here's what we know. God's word is truth. Somebody say amen. If it's God's word, it's God's will." [00:36:32] (21 seconds)
"So as we enter into 2025, we said this, we said, we want to enter 2025, not with I hope I, I hope I get around to it, mentality, spiritually, or I would like to spiritually No, no, no, there will be things that we would like to do, but there are certain spiritual non -negotiables in the Bible that God says, because of who you are, whose you are, now that you're in Christ, there are some particular I musts on this side of eternity that we must run after." [00:42:49] (38 seconds)
"And so we've got to embrace these I musts. But here's the thing. As we go into 2025, there's some things we need to guard against. If we're going to run and chase after our I musts, our spiritual non -negotiables, we better have a filtering, a way to filter our likes. I like. I know. It's kind of like, what are you doing, man? I'm not trying to be cute. I'm not trying to be funny." [00:46:19] (28 seconds)
"But there's going to be a lot of I likes that come knocking on our door that will challenge your I musts. And they're not bad things. They're really some really cool opportunities. But we've got to understand that sometimes if we're not careful and we don't have a biblical filtering system, opportunities can become distractions in disguise." [00:46:45] (23 seconds)
"And Paul warns us against this in Colossians chapter 2, verse 8. Check out this. He says this. Don't let others what? And what? And your joy. Literally, read the context. Paul's like, hey, you've got to be careful, man. You've got to be careful because there's going to be all kinds of opportunities that people are going to be knocking on your door. People are going to try to get in your head space." [00:47:45] (26 seconds)
"That's why as followers of Christ, you need to be in the Bible. You need to study God's word. You need to know what does the Bible say? Where does the Bible say it in proper context, and what are you going to do? Remember last week, I told you, I meet people all the time say, well, I believe in God. That's awesome, man. How old are you? Oh, yeah, you know, I'm like 45. That's great. I know you believe in God." [00:51:22] (25 seconds)
"Here's what the Bible teaches us. The reason why Jesus Christ, God became a man, we just celebrated at Christmas, Jesus, it's because we need to be rescued because we're all sinners and sin separates us from God. This is what Romans chapter three, Romans chapter three, verse 10, Romans 3, 23, and a bazillion other verses say. The Bible says that we're lost because of our sin. We're outside of God's family. We need to be found." [01:02:11] (25 seconds)
