Intercept Part 1: Needmore Rd.

Misconception: We need more stuff!

What is Stuff?

·      Human Relationships

·      Food

·      Money

·      Electronics

·      Titles

·      Worldly Knowledge/ Wisdom

Are these things bad? No

·      The problem is that they become idols in our lives and the purpose for our living. (Ex 20:4)

What do we need more of?

·      Grace

·      Mercy

·      Heavenly Relationship

·      Peace

Col 3:12 Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. 13 Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. 14 And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity.

15 Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful. 16 Let the message of Christ dwell among you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom through psalms, hymns and songs from the Spirit, singing to God with gratitude in your hearts. 17 And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.

How do we switch our mindset from what we think we need to what we truly need?

      ·      Col 3:1 Since, then, you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on things above, where Christ is seated at the right hand of God. 2 Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things.

      ·      Need vs. Want

God knows what we need and sometime we think we know better

Final Thought: We must realized that the one thing that we need more of each and every day is God.
