P1 POISE IN THE NOISE

Poise in the Noise, Part 1 – August 4, 2024

Sermon Intro: August Anxiety

Matthew 6:31-34 (NIV2011)
31  So do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ 32  For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. 33  But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. 34  Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.

Poise requires proper priorities
Example: Gilligan’s Island

Impediments to proper priorities
Living at your limits

Living at your limits transforms opportunities into crises
Example: Ministry needs
Example: Jesus


Luke 5:16 (NIV2011)
16  But Jesus often withdrew to lonely places and prayed.

Mark 1:35 (NIV2011)
35  Very early in the morning, while it was still dark, Jesus got up, left the house and went off to a solitary place, where he prayed.

Impediments to proper priorities

Living at your limits
Pressures

Peer pressure

Romans 12:2 (NIV2011)
2 Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.

Pressure to please
Example: Jesus

John 17:4 (NIV2011)
4  I have brought you glory on earth by finishing the work you gave me to do.
Impediments to proper priorities


Living at Your Limits
Pressures
Shortsightedness

Colossians 3:2 (NIV2011)
2 Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things.
 
2 Corinthians 4:18 (NIV2011) 

18 So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal. 



Example: Two paddleboats
