"WHY BE NORMAL?"
SUNDAY, JULY 26 - 2009
LESSON NOTES
"BUT YOU ARE CHOSEN AND DIFFERENT SO THAT YOUR LIFE WILL HONOR GOD!" - 1PETER 2:9 1. God created you in his image.
2. You have greatness inside of you.
3. You are different than every one else
4. Your difference make you valuable to others, your value honors God!
YOU "STAND OUT" WHEN YOU ARE DIFFERENT
What is being normal?
If you want to be NORMAL in this society then you:
-will be thousands of dollars in debt
-hate life
-be in bad health
-have negative relationships
-live in depression
-constantly complain
-live in fear
-never have enough
- and on and on and on................. DO YOU REALLY WANT TO BE NORMAL?
Look at the example of Daniel in Daniel 1 and 2.
Daniel chose to be different in spite of mounting pressure from others to "FIT IN". Daniel ended up being one of the kings most trusted advisors all in part because he decided "his difference" made him more "valuable" than fitting in !
Are you focused on being "normal", just like everyone else or is your relationship with Christ motivating you to accept your "difference". Remember, once you recognize the value that is inside of you, you will:
-Walk different
-Talk different
-Act different
-Eat different
-Think different
- Be different Because you are different!!!
Embrace your destiny,
Pastor Ben
