sunday's scuds (august 31, 2008)

What a great Sunday to be at NewPointe! Baptisms, excellent worship, and a strong stand-alone message from Dwight about spiritual growth. Here are the scuds:

  • People who are growing in their relationship with Christ are intentional about sitting under practical teaching.
  • Information alone will not change your life.
  • Knowledge alone will make you prideful.
  • People aren't concerned with how much you know. They're concerned with how you live.
  • You'll never grow in your faith without people in your life who have permission to speak the truth to you.
  • Be intentional about being hospitable.
  • I cleaned out the garage yesterday. I didn't want to, but it sure paid off in my relationship with my wife. It's the same way with God.
  • Many of us depend more on our money than we do our Heavenly Father. How can I tell? By your giving.
  • Obedience alone will make you judgmental.
  • God builds our trust and deepens our faith by calling us to personal ministry.
  • What are you doing that if God were to die, you 'd have to quit doing?
  • Sitting in this room won't change you. You'll just get more information. Putting it into practice will change you.
