2006 Midwest Conference

Session 8

------------------------------------------------------------------------

• Our mission, our mandate: make disciples.


• How prepared really are the folks in our fellowships?


• II Timothy 2:1-7
  
  • v.7 "consider" = "silly putty"
  
  
  • much like chewing the cud


• Spirit of a soldier:

1. Submission in all soldiers (II Samuel 15)
   
   1. "heed" = "pay attention"
   
   
   2. do I think that I'm more fair & kind & merciful than God?
   
   
   3. I want to be that person, that pastor, that God can depend on.
   
   
   4. I never want the Lord to say I Samuel 15:11 about me.
   
   
   5. Did He ask me to be here?


2. Submission with absolute surrender (Ephesians 6)
   
   1. "evil day" = "evil in effect or intent"
   
   
   2. the enemy, and the Lord, will push us beyond our
      limit...
   
   
   3. when I gave my heart to Him, I gave everything to Him
   
   
   4. we are His illustrations
   
   
   5. we are on display
   
   
   6. "casualties of war"


3. Serves with the hope of reward (Hebrews 11)
   
   1. God is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him
   
   
   2. purple heart
   
   
   3. some soldiers advance - some hold the ground
   
   
   4. the rewards for sowing & reaping are the same.
