You can't take that." c - You must make a decision at some point and ask, "Is there anything that you are unwilling to give to God, no matter what?" *Psalm 39 2) Trust without all the Details a - Even without knowing the reason God is asking, the outcome, the situation, direction, etc. b - What will you do and how will you view God when "surprises" come? c - Needing to know details is a sign of a lack of faith (How many times does the Lord need to come through before you will trust Him without questioning Him?) *Romans 8:28 3) Obedience without Delay a - Scripture says, "Early the NEXT morning, he went out..." *Hebrews 11:17-19 b - A counter example is Saul, being so impatient to sacrifice that he didn't obey and wait for the priest as God commanded. *I Samuel 15:22nono00:30:43http://sermons.thevine-church.net/2012/01/15/it-all-starts-here-a-look-at-the-people-of-genesis---11512--cain--abel.aspx?ref=rssThe Vine Community Church<font style="font-size: 12px;"></font><font style="font-size: 12px;"></font><br>Sermonhttp://sermons.thevine-church.net/2012/01/15/it-all-starts-here-a-look-at-the-people-of-genesis---11512--cain--abel.aspx#Comments8fff5fe0-4397-48ff-b3f2-e71a7e9e02acSun, 15 Jan 2012 17:42:41 GMTPastor Anita EastlackIt All Starts Here: A Look at the People of Genesis - 1/15/12 (Cain &amp; Abel)Symptoms of a Half-Hearted Christian: 1) When worship is CAVALIER 2) When wisdom is IGNORED 3) When correction is REJECTEDnono00:35:55http://sermons.thevine-church.net/2012/01/08/it-all-starts-here-a-look-at-the-people-of-genesis---1.aspx?ref=rssThe Vine Community Church<font style="font-size: 12px;"></font><font style="font-size: 12px;"></font><br>Sermonshttp://sermons.thevine-church.net/2012/01/08/it-all-starts-here-a-look-at-the-people-of-genesis---1.aspx#Comments04dd1166-2f32-420e-a604-a32b2aea3d07Sun, 08 Jan 2012 18:02:25 GMTPastor Anita EastlackIt All Starts Here: A Look at the People of Genesis - 1/8/12nono00:35:47http://sermons.thevine-church.net/2012/01/01/it-all-starts-here-a-look-at-the-people-of-genesis---1112.aspx?ref=rssThe Vine Community Church<font style="font-size: 12px;"></font><font style="font-size: 12px;"></font><br>sermonhttp://sermons.thevine-church.net/2012/01/01/it-all-starts-here-a-look-at-the-people-of-genesis---1112.aspx#Comments91cc4db1-a911-48a0-ad67-9f3fbbae2be3Sun, 01 Jan 2012 17:43:36 GMTPastor Anita EastlackIt All Starts Here: A Look at the People of Genesis - 1/1/121) Genesis 1:1, "In the beginning God created...," answers the questions of: A) Order: God is Creator and created in order. It was thoughtful and reflective (said, "It is good."). It was progressive, just as our faith is (II Cor. 5:13) B) Sovereignty: God is omnipotent and knows all. We have the gift and blessing of free will in making the micro decisions that play into His more sovereign, macro, plans and purposes. C) Nature: We are caretakers of creation and are to take this role seriously, but not to the degree that it injures or causes suffering to others. 2) Genesis 1:26, "God created male and female in His image," answers the questions of: A) Life & Death: Gen. 2:7 says that we were formed from dust and had the breath of God breathed into us. This shows the sanctity of human life as God brought plants and animals to life, but He put His own breath of spiritual life in humans B) Human Value: Not because of anything we can do or have done, but because of who made us. That is why we are valuable. Because we are God's creationnono00:18:06http://sermons.thevine-church.net/2011/12/25/the-tree-of-life-jesus---luke-2-122511-happy-birthday-jesus--merry-christmas.aspx?ref=rssThe Vine Community Church<font style="font-size: 12px;"></font><font style="font-size: 12px;"></font><font style="font-size: 12px;"></font><br>sermonhttp://sermons.thevine-church.net/2011/12/25/the-tree-of-life-jesus---luke-2-122511-happy-birthday-jesus--merry-christmas.aspx#Comments07f9c1bb-e56a-4337-93b6-c5e21bf9fe62Sun, 25 Dec 2011 17:12:03 GMTPastor Anita EastlackThe Tree of Life: Jesus -
