Embracing Our Outgoing Nature in Christ: Conquering Heart Problems

Explore how Jesus' name transcends all fears and empowers us to be outgoing in our faith. This message addresses the heart issues that often hinder our spiritual engagement with the world, with God, and even with ourselves. Drawing from 2 Corinthians 5:1-21, we discuss how Christ has reconciled us with the world, allowing us to feel 'okay' in Him. As we recognize God's outgoing nature, we are encouraged to engage in mission—becoming fully ourselves by breaking free from the spiritual dryness that keeps us from fully living our faith.

Presentation Transcript

  1. Welcome to OUTGOING Problems of the heart

  2. Jesus! the Name high over all,In hell or earth or sky;Angels and men before it fall,And devils fear and fly. Jesus! the Name to sinners dear,The Name to sinners giv’n;It scatters all their guilty fear,It turns their hell to Heav’n.

  3. Jesus! the prisoner’s fetters breaks,And bruises Satan’s head;Power into strengthless souls it speaksAnd life into the dead. O that mankind might taste and seeThe riches of His grace!The arms of love that compass meWould all the world embrace.

  4. Problems of the heart

  5. Setting aside ‘problems of the head’, what stops us being the outgoing people God has made us to be?

  6. We want to feel ok with the world • But Jesus hits a conversation like a sack of bricks. • We want to feel ok with God • So I don’t want to get too involved with ‘the world’ • We want to feel ok with ourselves • But frankly we’re spiritually dry and it feels like a duty.

  7. How would Paul address our fears? 2 Corinthians 5:1-21

  8. We want to feel ok with the world • Christ has reconciled the world. We and the world are truly ‘ok’ in Him. • We want to feel ok with God • God is outgoing Himself – pleading, appealing, imploring. We join Him. • We want to feel ok with ourselves • We’re most fully ourselves when we’re engaged in mission.

  9. Doubting Daphne You don’t really want to be my friend, you just want to gain converts!
