Title: Fighting the Currents of Complacency
Text: Nehemiah 13:1–31
Truth: Any growth must be intentional
How Do We Drift?
1.Neglect the Word of God
Answer: Show Up —-àDiscipline = Desire = Delight
2. Hang out with wrong people (Psalm 1)
3.Misplaced Priorities
“Two main ways we make decision in life”
Fear or Love
(1)Separation Worldview
- Fear
- Scarcity
Which leads to an Empire Mentality (Ceasar)
- Scarcity (not enough)
- Self- promotion
- Self-protection
- Control / certainty
(2)Connection Worldview
- Love
- Faith
Kingdom Mentality (Jesus)
- Abundance / capacity
- Serving others
- Love
- Mystery / trust God with our “yes”
- Truth: Anxiety happens when we think of hypotheticals in our minds by a combination of fear and imagination.
