Get Real: Physical & Financial Health

Pastor Pete Hartwig

Notes

SLIDE: Get Real:  Physical & Financial     

 

SLIDE:  Get Real:  Physical Body

 

NOT A FOLLOWER OF JESUS! (rubber meets the road)

 

SLIDE: 1 Corinthians 6:19-20 Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your bodies.    (master/slave/bought/sold)

 

SLIDE: Honor God with my body?

 

EVEN IN CORINTH?

 

  1. WHAT WE AVOID

 

  1. HOW I PARTICIPATE = Job

 

SLIDE:  My Hands and Feet bring Jesus’ hope and healing to the people of Charlottesville.

 

If someone followed me

 

I didn’t do…  WHAT I DO!

 

  1. To honor God with my body

 

SLIDE: HEALTH = the goal.

What does culture say?

What do you HAVE to look like to be perfect?

 

SLIDE:  1 Timothy 4:8 For physical training is of some value, but godliness has value for all things, holding promise for both the present life and the life to come.

 

Godliness – Not Corinth!  Godliness NOT Culture!

 

SLIDE: HEALTH = the goal.

 

SLIDE:  Get Real:  Finances

 

SLIDE: Matthew 6:19-20  “Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moths and vermin destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. 20 But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moths and vermin do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal.

 

STUFF is TEMPORAL

STYLES CHANGE

 

Where do you INVEST?

College towns… 

What Jesus is up to?

 

SLIDE:  Matthew 6:21 For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.  – Jesus Christ

 

YouVersion bible app & SPOTIFY (Bethel Hill Song)

SLIDE:  Matthew 6:24  “No one can SERVE two masters. Either you will hate the one and love the other, or you will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot SERVE both God and money.   –  Jesus Christ

 

SERVE   GOD vs. MONEY (STUFF)

 

SLIDE: Matthew 6:32 The pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you NEED them.

 

It is all spent on me.

My pleasure.  My Stuff.  My kids.  My ___________ .

Once I buy __ X ___ we will give.

 

First Century Church

 

SLIDE:  1 Corinthians 16:2 On the first day of every week, each one of you should set aside a sum of money in keeping with your income, saving it up, so that when I come no collections will have to be made.

 

EVEN IN CORINTH??

 

We are Christians NOT Corinthians
