Week 2, Burn the Map Sermon Series: Off the Map Jenn Lewis September 29, 2019 NOTES Burn the Map Genesis 6:5-22, Genesis 12:1-4, Joshua 22:5, 23:6-8, Matthew 5:13-16, Matthew 10:16, Matthew 16:21-27, John 15:18-25, Joshua 24:14-15 Following Christ: Can often require us to do the unexpected Can be counter-intuitive Can be counter-cultural Three ways to go in life: follow culture's map, follow our map, or follow God's game plan We must choose which of the three we’re going to follow Following God’s game plan will be difficult. Following God’s game plan will encourage others to follow You can’t change the world if you are just like the world Following God’s game plan will bring salvation to others. God is calling us to take up our cross and follow Him We don't live differently to pick a fight with our culture but to bring Jesus to our culture. Jesus didn’t die on the cross to bless your life; He died on the cross to save you from yourself REVIEW AND INTRODUCTION Last week, Chris gave six ways to follow God’s will in your life (1. Nurture a friendship with God, 2. Learn and follow the game plan, 3. Do your best, and chill out, 4. Do the next right thing, 5. Remember the when is as important as the what, 6. When you find yourself in a valley, don’t stop following God). Have you tried implementing any of those in your daily life? If so, how is it working out? Can you think of a time you saw someone sacrifice their personal preference to serve another or to stand up for what was right no matter the cost? Can you think of any scenarios in your life where you wish God had given you a road map? Share one with your group. Have you ever been labeled, disrespected, or ridiculed for following God’s game plan instead of the culture around you? What did you do in that situation? How did you handle the criticism? Did you handle it well, or could you have handled it differently for a better outcome? When you choose to follow Christ, you are choosing to follow a different map. What does that mean to you in practical terms? How was Noah counter-cultural? Do you know anyone today who is this counter-cultural due to the way they follow God? St. Francis of Assisi said, "Preach the Gospel at all time. When necessary, use words." What does that mean? Does that describe your approach? Why or why not? Think about where you work or go to school, your friends, your team, your neighborhood, your extended family... Do the people involved in these areas express how they feel about Christians? What about the Christian church? If they do, what do they say about Christians and the church? How does that make you feel? MY STORY How do you celebrate your good deeds so your light shines while remaining humble so God can be seen and on display instead of you? When you do a good deed, do you ever ask yourself, “is my purpose in this to make God’s name great or to make my name great”? Jenn said following God’s game plan will be: uncomfortable, unpopular, and even painful. What do you think about that statement? Have you experienced this? Share with your group. Jenn read two warnings that Joshua gives us in Joshua 22:5 and Joshua 23:6-8. In both, he tells us to "hold fast" or cling to God. What does that mean to you? How can YOU hold fast to God in spite of what’s going on around you? Do you think you do a good job with “holding fast” to God? If so, how has this impacted your life? If not, why not? What makes it hard? Or have you never thought of this before? What are some practical changes you can make in your life to cling to God? When we first met Abram (who becomes Abraham), he is a 75-year-old idol worshiper. Abram follows God throughout his life, becoming the man referred to as the father of our faith and listed as a hero of faith in Hebrews 11. What do you think was the defining thing that allowed such a drastic change in Abraham. (For a hint: see Genesis 15:6). What does that verse mean to you? Why do you think it was so significant that it changed Abraham’s entire destiny? One of Jenn’s points was that you couldn't change the world if you are just like the world. You can't make a difference unless you are different. Why do you think that is? How do you live that out? Does knowing that people will or will not see and feel God’s presence in how we live our lives resonate with you? Is that an encouragement for you? How? Why do you think that’s so important for us to remember? When Jesus tells us in Matthew 5:13-16, we are the salt of the earth and the light of the world, what does that mean to you? Do you feel that way about your life? How do you live that out daily? What are specific ways and where are particular places in which you can be salt and light? Jenn said God is not calling us to follow the American dream. What do you think of that statement? Is it encouraging or concerning? Why do you think it makes you feel that way? Does reading John 15:18-25 help put that into a better perspective for you? One of the points of this message is th
