Sermon Series: Deeper Still

Big Thought Today:  the Inner Circle

“Blessed are those who hunger & thirst for righteousness, for they shall be filled.”  Matthew 5:6

1. Hungry Enough to ASK

The Bible says we don’t have because we don’t ask.  We can’t be afraid to ask of Jesus.  Even if we ask amiss, He’ll help us stay on track by giving us instruction to go deeper in Him.  Matthew 14:25-29, Mark 10:35-40, Luke 9:52-56, Mark 13:1-4, James 4:2

2. Hungry Enough to ACT

To go deeper in the things of God, we can’t be afraid to step up & act!  We may not get it right every time, but we have to be willing to go for it!  John 18:10, Galatians 2:9, Acts 2:14, John 19:25-27, Acts 6:2-7

3. Hungry Enough to ABIDE

There’s something about people who stick by the stuff! Sometimes life can be hard & our walk with Jesus can challenge us in ways we never imagined.  In spite these times, to go deeper in the things of God, we need to remain steadfast & faithful to Him.  John 6:66-69
