In this episode, we unpack the sermon given by Pastor Joe Parks on Sunday, March 17, 2024. You can access the sermon here: • Dying for the Cause | Joe Parks
Some questions we attempt to answer:
- How we do distinguish between the concept of "self" vs. the "you" that God created? Which one needs to die in order for us to thrive in our God-given purpose?
- Pastor Joe says to focus more on being controlled by the Spirit than self-control. But self control is a fruit of the Spirit, so how do we walk this out while still pursing God (and not "self")?
- Is there a right way to pray? (Do I need to look down or up? Close my eyes? Be on my knees?) Where do we learn these religious and legalistic ideas?
- How does deconstruction (versus "reconstruction") impact our walk with God?
Important points to remember:
- "Self" thrives in the absence of God (which is why we need to die to self)
- Purpose is found in the Presence of the Father
- The fruit of the spirit are not characterists that you develop. Only God does that.
- Fruit comes OUT from the purpose God gives you
- Judgement and being critical against others can hide itself in hyper-spirituality
- DEconstruction peels away everything, REconstruction is healthy
