Sunday Morning, September 26, 2010 – Pastor Dean Bradford
Sermon and Teaching NotesFanning the Flames (Part 1) – “Kingdom Distinction” – Luke 22:24-30
I. (24-26) “Worldly Deception and Kingdom Perception”
II. (27) “Kingdom Excellence and Example”
III. (28-30) “Kingdom People of Promise”
Sometimes we Christians need to fan the flames of our passion and love for Jesus Christ, His Kingdom and His will for us here on earth, as we journey through this world. This morning and this evening’s services are going to focus briefly on this subject. This morning we should learn that we as humans sometimes misunderstand “greatness” in terms of the human endeavor of life and more specifically in connection with accomplishments, status, and rank. Even the most seasoned and mature Christians sometimes need to be reminded that we are a part of God’s Kingdom and should be aware that we are here for His pre-determined purposes. Therefore, that distinguishes us from the world’s system in our decision-making and goal’s, or it should.
