Summary Notes

Formatted » Back to Top »

1. Introduction:

· How authentic and real are we with people? The way we act shows how we grow, how mature we are and how we respond to Him.

· Some people have relationships with their pets and their hobbies rather than people.

· How can you enter another’s world if you can’t be real and authentic? Walk daily and be consistent in life.

· God’s plan is for us to grow, mature, represent him, and advance His Kingdom in society, not to be great pretenders but to be real, authentic.

· Luke 10:33-34 - This is what maturity looks like!

· The Good Samaritan entered the world of the broken man and did what he could.

· Jesus still enters the world of broken people to minister healing and freedom.

· The anointing on Jesus – heals the broken hearted – Luke 4:18

· Often people cover and conceal their brokenness and never mature.

· Genesis 3:7 - Adam and Eve – sewed fig leaves together and made themselves coverings.

· Verse 10 - “I was afraid (bad feelings) because I was naked and I hid myself”.

· Adam and Eve conceal, cover up then hid from the painful reality of their condition.

· Behavior = ‘hiding’

· Feelings = ‘fear and shame’

· Belief = “I will be punished”

· What if they had believed the truth? God is Good! What if they’ve behaved differently?

· With the Holy Spirit in us, we need to face the truth and realities, if not we can’t grow and we’ll miss the opportunity.
