Writing My Life Story - Pt 1 Deciding to START



    Pastor Rick Hudgens                                                             June 28, 2015



MY STORY   Pt.1
I DECIDED TO START
Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith…                                                                                        Hebrews 12:2
I DECIDED TO:
 START

STOP

STAY

 GO

Example:  Daniel

 At this, the administrators and the satraps tried to find grounds for charges against Daniel in his conduct of government affairs, but they were unable to do so. They could find no corruption in him, because he was trustworthy and neither corrupt nor negligent.  Finally these men said, “We will never find any basis for charges against this man Daniel unless it has something to do with the law of his God.”                                                                     Daniel 6:4-5


Now when Daniel learned that the decree had been published, he
 went home to his upstairs room where the windows opened toward Jerusalem. Three times a day he got down on his knees and prayed, giving thanks to his God, just as he had done before.                                             Daniel 6:10


    WHAT DOES GOD WANT YOU  TO WANT

5 or 10 years from now—
What story does God want you to tell?




             WHAT DO YOU NEED TO START ?

Meanwhile a prophet came to Ahab king of Israel and announced, "This is what the Lord says: 'Do you see this vast army? I will give it into your hand today, and then you will know that I am the Lord.'"

"But who will do this?" asked Ahab. The prophet replied,"This is what the Lord says: 'The young officers of the provincial commanders will do it.'"                   "And who will start the battle?" he asked.                                                      The prophet answered, "You will."                                 1 Kings 20:13-14



           I WILL DO TODAY WHAT I CAN DO, TO ENABLE ME TO DO                                 TOMORROW WHAT I CANNOT DO TODAY.

For Ezra had devoted himself to the study and observance of the Law of the Lord, and to teaching its decrees and laws in Israel.                     Ezra 7:10

Jesus went out as usual to the Mount of Olives, and his disciples followed him.                                                                                   Luke 22:39 

Here is an example of what it means to make a decision to start: 




We celebrate with Melissa and Dustin!
