night, was AWESOME! My buddy Rob Turner was the preacher for the event, and
God, as always, used him to speak transformational truth in a powerful,
creative way. My next couple of blog entries will be notes from each night
that I took while he was preaching...
Notes from Rob Turner's Message
Colossians 4:2-6
- Pray up
. devote - Hold on to
. prayer lists demonstrate what we value, shows what we truly care about .
pray like your life depends on it . they didn't ask Jesus how to preach or
socialize. They asked him how to pray.
. when is the last time someone saw us and asked us how to pray.
. winning people to Christ doesn't start with strategy; it starts with
prayer . we don't like to pray because it forces us to deal with ourselves.
The hardest person you will ever have to lead is you.
- Speak up
. prayer is the great icebreaker that prepares others hearts to hear the
Titanic of the gospel.
. Beware of the social gospel - just helping others . We must speak up about
Jesus.
. We always talk about what we love.
. if you stop praying, your heart grows cold, and you will not speak up.
- Step up
. Colossians 4:5
. character and conduct matters.
. we abuse the grace of Jesus to speak and act like we want.
. you are not stepping up for Jesus when your facebook and twitter statuses
are from Hell.
. you are not walking in wisdom when you date horribly.
. Don't just date someone who is a Christian. Date someone who is a
fruitful Christian.
. Guys, the girls want us to lead in a Christlike way.
. Our life is a vapor. The time is short.
. story of Richard - AP photographer - he took a picture of the falling man
. do you realize that you have neighbors and classmates who are like that
falling man: fully alive but dead. They need Christ.
. Will you pray up, speak up, and stand up?
