Revelation 4:11 NLT 11 “You are worthy, O Lord our God, to receive glory and honor and power. For you created all things, and they exist because you created what you pleased.”worthy = weight.Jesus is worthy.... That means Jesus carried the most weight when it come to our priorities. Don’t just declare who He is, but put him in the right spot… 1st.Salvation is the process of Re-ordering your life and put Jesus as your top priority. Maybe you have Jesus in your life, but your life is out of order… Re-order your life and put Jesus at the top as the one who has the highest value in your life. Maybe you don’t have Jesus in your life but you want him in your life.Close your eyes and access your life. Jesus is standing at the door of your heart knocking at the door of your heart. Make it right tonight.Salvation prayer… if you prayed that prayer you are born again and Jesus just forgave you of your sins, and you are born again.We want you to join up with us so you can begin to grow.Listen… Try it for a year. Go all in… get involved for 1 year and see what happens…Giving TalkJohn 4:36 NLT 36 The harvesters are paid good wages, and the fruit they harvest is people brought to eternal life. What joy awaits both the planter and the harvester alike!When you give, you are part of changing lives. When you plant seeds, it goes all over.Your seed is in young lives you may not meet.Your seed is in lives who have lost everythingYou seed is in the changed lives of inmates…Your seed feeds hungry students…SermonThis Sunday is 4th anniversary…21 Days of Prayer & Fasting.Focus on what God will do in our lives… on intercession.Focus on needs you may have…Focus on the election… that people will vote and that it will be peaceful and honest.Fasting is denying the flesh and it connects us in a special way to God and each other.At River Church we want you toKnow God…Find Freedom…Discover your purpose…Make a difference …All of these hinge on the first one. You can’t find freedom unless you know God. You can’t find your purpose unless you know Jesus, and you can’t make a difference if you don’t know Jesus.Listen to this…Philippians 3:8–11 NLT 8 Yes, everything else is worthless when compared with the infinite value of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. For his sake I have discarded everything else, counting it all as garbage, so that I could gain Christ 9 and become one with him. I no longer count on my own righteousness through obeying the law; rather, I become righteous through faith in Christ. For God’s way of making us right with himself depends on faith. 10 I want to know Christ and experience the mighty power that raised him from the dead. I want to suffer with him, sharing in his death, 11 so that one way or another I will experience the resurrection from the dead!We all want a lot… the disease to go away… to have the church full again… Restaurants to open… stores to open… We all want a lot of things. As we go into 21 days of prayer, You may have a big prayer list. But what if… we reduce it to the one thing we want is to know Jesus. After all, Jesus said…Matthew 6:33 NLT 33 Seek the Kingdom of God above all else, and live righteously, and he will give you everything you need.Resurrection makes dead things aliveSuffering makes alive things deadIf you really want to be in a relationship with God you can answer these questions.What in my life needs to come back to life?What in your life… your faith walk has sort of died during this pandemic? Health… relationships… prayer life… passion … routines.... QT, Marriage, Habit of attending church, your daily routines, who is #1 in your life?The Bible term for this is Revival.Psalm 85:6 NLT 6 Won’t you revive us again, so your people can rejoice in you?We need and want revival. This revival might include getting back to a weekly church routine. Get out of bed and go to church. Set a time… I’m going to church. Get up, get dressed and go to church… even if it’s in your house.Make it a priority to make some things that have suffered and died during the last 6 months, come back to life.... like worship. Listen, there is something special about getting together and worshipping together…What have you allowed to die that needs to come back to life?What in my life needs to be put to death?Romans 8:13 NIV 13 For if you live according to the flesh, you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the misdeeds of the body, you will live.What are some things that you need to put to death?Stress… Uncertainties… food… anxiety…lack of routine… substance abuse… drinking… porn… going to the beach… kids activities ....What are some bad habits that we have let into our lives that we need to get out of our lives? Anything we have into our lives that replaces God needs to be put to death.During the next 21 days, what are the things that have died in our lives that need to be resurrected? And what are the things that have crept into our lives that we need to get rid of?Theme - All I want to know is Christ. ThePray for both… Philippians 3:8–11NLT
