Today, Pastor Cherry started a series...What is Lordship...part1
Matthew 7:21-27
"The greatest challenge of the church today is reasserting the Lordship of Christ"
Most Americans today believe that religion is a personal matter.
Matthew 7:21
21 “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven.
Lordship is accepting the sovereignty of God. -- Really, do we truly know the meaning of the word...sovereignty? "Supreme authority" Accepting God's supreme authority...over every aspect of our lives. Not just the parts we want to give up, but all of it! Don't pick and choose where we want God in our lives...it means all of it!
Matthew 8:2
2 A man with leprosy came and knelt before him and said, “Lord, if you are willing, you can make me clean.”
If you don't trust me in all...you don't trust me at all!
Matthew 22:36-40
36 “Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?” 37 Jesus replied:
“‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’38 This is the first and greatest commandment. 39 And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ 40 All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.”
Do we believe...Do we understand:
His holiness? That God owns everything? God is Lord of All? He is in control? That He really works all things out for those that love him???
What is the 1st Commandment... “You shall have no other gods before me."
Lordship is putting Him number 1...in EVERY AREA of our lives!
