If we look at our identity as a building,inside there is an elevator. We go up and down depending on our needs. In yesterday's sermon, I talked about elevator experiences. You can find the audio of the sermon on our podcast of weekly sermons at:
www.harlanfirstaog.org
Below is the basic outline:
John 12:32 But I, when I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all men to myself." He said this to show the kind of death he was going to die.
Drawing people to Jesus is the primary goal of life and we cannot do it. He must do it and does it when we lift Him up.
Lifting ( Exalting God ) is what we were created to do.
Vantage points at different levels
Elevator concepts:
1. A change in level occurs
2. Decisions are required
3. Things are happening on the floors you pass by
Good Samaritan. Luke 10.others passed by ..
4. Accidently getting off on the wrong floor is frustrating
Unfamiliar surroundings and wrong places
5. Clear communication is important
( Is the first floor basement or ground )
6. Nursery and morgue on different floors in same building
Talents different to different needs
7. Requires standing at the door and waiting
Isa 40:31 Waiting is worth it
8. You are in a small room with strangers
Hebrews 13:2 Entertaining Angels
9. There is an unseen power source at work
2 Cor. 4:18 “fixing our eyes”
10. The ride is important
God will ask us if we had a nice journey.
