Brokenness Series |
Audio |
MP3 |
|
05-11-08 |
From Brokenness to Wholeness |
||
|
Main
theme: God goes to great lengths to invite us to embrace full and
complete brokenness, but brokenness is not the end goal. It simply
creates the clean and fertile soil for the planting of "wholeness"
within us. Psalm 51 describes several distinctive
characteristics of a "whole" spirit: wisdom and truth in the "inmost
place," washing and cleansing of the soul, a joy
that emerges from the ashes of hopelessness and pain, a "steadfast and
willing" spirit replacing the "intact" one, and a new and different
content of what one speaks into the lives of others. If we
allow ourselves to be entirely broken before God, He will begin
installing a fundamentally different kind of fullness within us. |
|||
|
05-04-08 |
Brokenness & Srongholds |
||
|
Main
theme: Strongholds-what they are, and what we do about it.
The Bible doesn’t go into great detail about what
it calls "strongholds" in our lives, but it does indicate that they
clearly exist, and will completely block the path to full brokenness
unless they are themselves first broken. A stronghold is a
practice, mindset, habit, association, or identity that controls and
alters
a person, imbedded and "enhanced" by the influence of Satan.
Strongholds neutralize and control an individual, preventing
them from experiencing full freedom. Strongholds cause us to
isolate, control, excuse, and give up hope of change. They
suck the vitality, time, and sometimes money from us. They
cloud our perspective and drive us from community, honesty, and
teachability. They need broken by the power of God, sometimes
through intervention, but always through ruthless
identification and elimination. |
|||
|
04-27-08 |
The 'Spectrum' of True Brokenness |
||
|
Main
theme: The "spectrum" of responding to sin within us. People
who claim they are "broken" seldom are. There is a spectrum
of responsiveness to sin in ourselves. The spectrum runs from defiance
to defensiveness, to admission, to remorse, to recompense, to
repentance. But even beyond repentance is the state of "brokenness."
Brokenness is marked by absolute
self-distrust, full and complete confession and disclosure, abandonment
of self-protection or self-prescription, a defenseless embrace of
whatever circumstances and consequences are established for the
person’s sin. Most people, even those racked with
guilt after being caught in the worst of sin, fall somewhere else on
the spectrum. But brokenness is being utterly undone,
abandoning oneself to God’s mercy and allowing oneself to be
defined by the sin, while at the same time embracing the new identity
and direction the redeemer brings from it.. |

Forgiving
Your Onesimus -Philemon 17-25 |
||
|
Main
theme: Forgiveness and second chances. In the same way
Philemon and those in his circle were urged to forgive Onesimus and
restore him to a fully-accepted position, so we have opportunity to do
that with one another. Who can you extend a second chance to? |
|||
|
04-06-08 |
Rebranding Yourself - Philemon 8-16 |
||
|
Main
theme: Your “identity.” It
doesn’t matter what a person’s understood
“identity” is before they meet Christ; he has the
capacity to radically and permanently re-label them. What are
you “known” as in your particular surroundings,
like school, extended family, work, neighborhood? In what
ways does your history and past haunt you and follow you?
Christ re-defines your identity as one who is honorable, worthwhile,
and valuable. |
|||
|

Refreshing Your Teammates-Philemon 1-7 |
||
|
Main
theme: The significance of being one who
“refreshes” other people.
Wouldn’t it be a tremendous reputation to be known
as one who “refreshes the hearts” of those
they’re around? How can you be such a person? |

Making
Love Out of Nothing at All (Ruth 4) |
||
|
Main
theme: How God can turn (redeem) everything for a good
purpose. God restored what Naomi thought was lost in her own
life: the hope of a lineage and a personal purpose. God
restored Ruth in such a way that not only did this Gentile
pagan-worshipper become a redeemed daughter of Israel, she was woven
into the holy line of the Messiah himself, becoming the grandmother of
David and the
matriarch of Jesus. How will God redeem even the darkest of
your experiences and circumstances? |
|||
|
02-24-08 |
It's
Friday, but Sunday is a Comin' (Ruth 3) |
||
|
Main
theme: The reach of dependence and the kinsman-redeemer
There comes a time when even self-dependent and self-reliant
people will be faced with a decision of whether they will admit their
need and dependence or not. The proud will refuse to do so.
There is an element of humility, risk, and even shame that
comes with such an admission. But God shows grace to the
humble,
never shaming them, always protecting their dignity as he responds in
tenderness and mercy. This redeeming response to need is the
essence of the kinsman-redeemer, which is fully exemplified in Christ
toward us. |
|||
|
02-17-08 |
God is Loud, Even When He’s Silent (Ruth 2) |
||
|
Main
theme: The “in-between” provisions of
God. Even while we are struggling, dealing with heartache or
uncertainty, suffering and wondering how long it will last, God finds
ways to provide and sustain us. The provisions might not be
elaborate or extreme, but “I’ve never seen the
righteous forsake, or their seed begging for bread” (Ps.
37:25). What are some of the ways God’s provision
has been revealed to you even while the suffering seasons have
continued? And what lessons can be learned from even these
sustaining provisions? |
|||
|
02-10-08 |
Life Is Pain, Highness. Anyone Who Says Differently is Selling Something (Ruth 1) |
||
|
Main theme: Faith and disappointment. They aren’t necessarily mutually exclusive. The faith step is a scary one, where the object of your faith is uncertain and the road is undefined. You leave what you’re certain of behind and step onto what is unsure ahead. Even when faith is exercised, life brings bitter tears of disappointment. We feel “afflicted” by God, forgotten, emptied and heartbroken. But we can retain our faith and faithfulness to him regardless whether he “gives or takes away.” |

Movie: Charlie Wilson’s War |
||
|
Main
theme: It’s usually the stuff of story-books that
one person can rise up and single-handedly make a history-changing
difference in their world. But it can and does happen.
And the “covert” means by which it
happened in the case of Charlie Wilson illustrates the way God can use
one small group of unknown individuals today to make spiritual impact
that actually alters the world for
the sake of Christ. God still looks for those willing to take
that risk and stand in the gap for His Kingdom’s advance
today. |
|||
|
01-20-08 |
Movie: Be Kind Rewind |
||
|
Main
theme: If you could erase and re-record parts of
your life’s story, would you do it? Which parts
would you change? And if you had to record only a condensed
version of what your life story is really all about, what would you
include? The closest we can get to that is the
“re-writing” Christ does to our identity.
We can actually be made “new creatures”
with new lives
and new stories as part of the redemption opportunity Christ gives us.
We still have the chance right now to redefine ourselves and
our lives. What do you want the rest of the story to be about? |
|||
|
01-13-08 |
Movie: The Bucket List |
||
|
Main
theme: Risk and Fulfillment. What is on your list
of what you want to do before you “kick the
bucket”? What do the things on your list say about you?
Are they worth doing? What kinds of experiences are
worth living our last days for, and what would we do differently if we
knew we were living our last days right now? |
|||
|
01-06-08 |
Movie: National Treasure |
||
|
|
Main theme: The intrigue of finding “hidden treasure” captivates everyone from children digging in their back yard to armies pursuing mythical potions. When the treasure search becomes “personal’—that the secret reveals something about you or your heritage—it heightens the quest all the more. Jesus talked of a treasure so rich, so valuable, that it would be worth sacrificing everything you own and everything you are to possess. That treasure is inclusion in His eternal Kingdom? |
