Break Out-Titus

Titus 1: 15-16

In fact, both their minds and consciences are corrupted. ¹⁶They claim to know God, but by their actions they deny him. They are detestable, disobedient and unfit for doing anything good.

As leaders of a movement we are called to lead through our actions as God transforms our hearts and minds and guides us on his adventure for our lives.  Also as leaders we are called to a higher standard of living. it says, ""but by their actions they deny him," What actions do you need to change to be above the standard and excellent in every way so that they do not deny who God is and the connection we so desperately want to have with him.  Some things are easy to see like gossip or lust, but others like wasting hours watching tv or playing video games, are not using our lives _Entrusted to God. 

If you want to lead a generation back to the heart of God.....do your actions reflect that?

Break out of your Box today and DO something that physically shows you want to be a part of this movement whether it is praying for someone, checking up on someone who hasnt been to fusion for awhile, or doing a random act of kindness for someone in need.

Breaking in

Titus 1:9

He must hold firmly to the trustworthy message as it has been taught, so that he can encourage others by sound doctrine and refute those who oppose it.

Reflect on this verse- why do you think it is so important to know what is sound doctrine and what is not? 

Trustworthy method- we need to know what is in the bible first hand not what others have told us

Break in

Today we are going to dig into Jesus' words during the last supper

John 17

¹After Jesus said this, he looked toward heaven and prayed: "Father, the time has come. Glorify your Son, that your Son may glorify you.²For you granted him authority over all people that he might give eternal life to all those you have given him. ³Now this is eternal life: that they may know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent. ⁴I have brought you glory on earth by completing the work you gave me to do. ⁵And now, Father, glorify me in your presence with the glory I had with you before the world began.

Draw, Paint, sketch a picture inspired by Jesus' words.  It can be something like a clock because Jesus says it is time, or what you think it is to know God, or what it looks like to bring God's glory to earth.  Throw on some worship and clear your mind.  Even if you are not artistic it is good to break out of our boxes and "in"to new ways of experiencing God.

Salt and Light

Re-read Matthew 4 from yesterday and think back over your comments.

Now look over Matthew 5:13-16

Salt and Light

 ¹³"You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled by men.

 ¹⁴"You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden. ¹⁵Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. ¹⁶In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven.

So What?

Now take the same definitions from yesterday and see how they apply in this parable.  If we are to be his salt and light we must be Holy and set apart because just as when a circuit to a lightbulb has a bad connection the light flickers in and out; not allowing for a constant stream of light.  If we stay with one foot in the world and one devoted to walking God's path the circuit will not allow for a constant stream because Jesus is our light and if we are suppose to reflect him we have to reflect him fully, not just a little.

How are you going to reflect Jesus today to God's glory?
