2008 - Raise The Bar, Part 3 (Video)

published Feb 13, 2008 08:54

I think that a lot of us today would say that we read our bibles and do whatever we can to be "Good Christians."  I think that on the outside, we seem to function in ways that resemble the teachings of Jesus Christ.  Maybe we even take the next steps and volunteer in ways that account for a real sacrifice of our time, talents and resources.  But I wonder how many of us still struggle with hearing God's voice speaking directly to our hearts on a regular basis.

I wonder how many of us would be honest and admit that there are many other things in our lives that have compartmentalized our relationship with God.  Maybe we're still doing all of the "right" things, but deep down we know that those things are just mechanical traditions that we may have adopted from family members or friends.  We may have never experienced the revelation from God that compels us to surrender fully to Him.

In this message, Pastor Nate speaks from II Kings 22 about the state of Israel before Josiah became king, and the measures he took upon discovering a revelation of God's truth to His people.  We are all capable of receiving revelation from God.  The question is, do you want it?  What are you willing to do to get it?

Have a blessed week!
