Reject it. Replace it. Repeat it.
ME
I keep clothes for a LONG TIME! :checkered_flag:
Stained, ripped jeans, faded
I'll wear it but it's gotta go!
Same way in life
Must get rid of something in life.
I'll only change after damage.
STORY: Talking to mom | Stubbornness
WE
Maybe you relate
What you watch, tongue, anger, lying, addiction, etc.
Old stinky sock you keep putting on.
We get rid of it | Something else replaces it.
STORY: Organizing house | Mess 2 wks later
We have a
PROBLEM!
How do we reject the bad things in life?
Paul explains | 3 words to remember
V. 17-19
Testimony: Before vs After
Futility: empty, purposeless, useless
Darkened + Alienated
Don't know God = Don't understand the world
Evolution
A hardened heart leads to no boundaries
Humans are capable of some crazy stuff.
Cheaters don't plan it | They become calloused
STORY: Learning guitar.
hardening
: originally meant a stone harder than marble
V. 20-21
Why I love
PUREKIDZ
!
We were taught:
Chosen, Adopted, Redeemed, Sealed
Sin comes from pride, but also believing in lies.
We learned to
DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT!
V. 22-24
Put off:
take off, deprive yourself of a garment
Your former life was corrupt, but so is that stinky sock.
STORY: Like that item from your ex.
| Melinda's hat
Attachments to your old life,
REJECT IT!
(first step)
Your MIND needs time to be renewed
READ THE BIBLE!
Ex. Detoxing from drugs (5 days to weeks) or alcohol (3-7 days)
Works with any sin as well.
Targets: Not necessarily bad, but it's like the HAT!
V. 24
Put on!
Something NEW!
STORY: Melinda would say, buy this and throw away 2 old shirts.
Not just REJECT IT. We must
REPLACE IT
(2nd step)
A NEW garment - CREATED like God's likeness!
TRANSITION: Paul will now give some examples!
V. 25: Truth
Lies affect the Church!
Reject lies. Replace it with Truth!
Lying was a disease back in the day.
Same today! (Commercials, dressing the part)
Small and great |
STORY: Not knowing musicians, waking up late and talking on phone
V. 26-27: Anger
Reject sinful anger.
Replace with solutions.
V. 29: Speech
Mouth = powerful weapon
Gracious = They don't deserve it.
REJECT IT, REPLACE IT. REPEAT IT.
:star:
V. 30-32
Adam and Eve | God made them clothes
God made us clothes too!
When we don't wear it, it hurts Him.
YOU
Paul mentioned 4 areas: truth, anger, theft, speech
Is the H.S. happy with each area?
WE
Challenge: Pick ONE area. Reject, Replace. Repeat.
(Get different items) :fire:
Not behavior change | Life change | Being like God!
Light of the world, Salt of the Earth
Launching: Ppl need to SEE we're different!
Can ppl notice you're Xian by your life?
DO NOT miss out!
Let's make a decision today!
PRAY

V. 28: Theft
Replace with giving
