Trust the Journey

Main Point:  Trust the Journey knowing that God is leading us to Kingdom good.

The ultimate example of trusting the journey:
Matthew 22:40-43.  Jesus did not want the trial but trusted the journey from the Father to bring about Kingdom good.

• No better example: our Lord came to earth to do the will of the Father regardless of trials and human pain.

Focus on loving and serving others, not the rewards.

• Mark 10: 35-45.
  • V37.  James and John ask to be recognized in a high place in the Glory of King Jesus.
  • V38.  Jesus tell the 2 disciples that they do not realize what they are asking.  The sacrifice required to be lifted up in God’s Kingdom is to die of your will and trust the journey.
  • V39.  Though James and John did not realize it, Jesus prophesied that they would be martyred.
  • V42-45.  Greatness in God’s Kingdom is those that minister and serve others.

Pastor’s thought:

• The more time you spend in your secret place with God, the more passion your spirit will have to love and serve others.

What happens when you trust the journey?

• What seems dead arises to life (God turns things around as needed on the journey-dry bones arise)
• Mark 16:14-18.  Signs and wonder will follow believers thrusting the journey
• Matthew 6:33. Seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness and all you need to accomplish God’s plan for your life will be done.

 
Summary

• Trust the journey God has for you.
• As you love and serve others, God will intervene
• Those with a secret place time with God will have passion in their spirit to love and serve others.
• Trust the Journey knowing that God is leading us to Kingdom good.
