Week three – Corporate Week (all 6 DTS classes together) with Loren and Darlene Cunningham and David Hamilton
- Phil 3:8b I consider it all ‘scubulous’ that I may gain Christ – trading all the rubbish for the glory of Christ
- Listen to what God says and be prepared to give Him your yes, my standing answer to God is yes
- Christ invites us into blown away worship – picturing the 24 elders around the throne in awe of Christ, bowing and saying ‘wow, wow, wow’ all the time as they worship
- We should respond in the opposite spirit when someone or something comes against us. A variation of ‘turn the other cheek.’ Relinquish your rights and count your blessings.
- Every day is a chance to grow, always choose the step forward.
- Your grace ticket (the ability to go through whatever God is taking you through) arrives as you board the train.
- Saw the sea turtles at the beach this weekend. That was awesome, we saw seven of them about five feet from us.
- Gavin told us this week that he loves to worship when it's just a guy on stage with a guitar, no sound system, look out Matt Sterk we might need you! ;)
Week four – Doug Richardson – “Hearing God’s Voice” (AKA: Freedom from those things that hold you back and why God speaks)
- WAKE UP!
o wake up to the world around you
o when you withdraw you shut down your ability to receive and contribute
o being awake is being available to God
o engage life
o life is always an invitation
o you are no closer to God than you are to other people
- STOP IT!
o learn to forgive reality
o ask yourself ‘if this situation was perfect for something, what would it be perfect for?’
o no matter what has happened to you, it is no greater than He who is in you
o remind yourself ‘we will not die from this’
o all of life is a resource, do not let it use you, you use it, it's how you relate to it that makes the difference
- Dancing with Jesus
o hearing from God is a relational dynamic in contrast to a learned skill
o life with God is not a march or a list of orders, it is a dance
o man was created to be in relationship, we are His beloved
o accept your acceptedness
o my job is not to get people to heaven, it is to give them a taste of heaven
- Hearing God’s voice is engaging life and hearing Him on the go, above all other noises
- We celebrated Gavin’s 9th birthday this week with cake outside our building
- We put down our initial deposit on the outreach this week trusting God to meet the financial need
- Went to the volcano this week
- Farrell will have to tell you how awesome this week was for her and for us. It was truly miraculous.
