Notes:
Depending on motivation to get us unstuck will disappoint every time.
Motivation is external which means it’s both fickle and fading.
Inspiration is more than a what – it’s a who do we want to become.
Genuine change comes from internal inspiration not external motivation.
All of us have a dysfunctional loop in some area of our lives.
Uncomfortable Feeling – Irrational thought – Unhealthy action – Painful consequence – Uncomfortable Feeling
Jesus is the different we need to get unstuck from our dysfunctional loops.
Where do we find the inspiration that frees us from dysfunctional loops?
When Jesus came to that place, he looked up and said to Zacchaeus, “Hurry down, Zacchaeus, because I must stay in your house today.” Zacchaeus hurried down and welcomed him with great joy.
- Luke 19:5-6
All the people saw this and began to mutter, “He has gone to be the guest of a sinner.” Jesus said to him, “Today salvation has come to this house, because this man, too, is a son of Abraham.”
- Luke 19:7&9
Jesus’s grace inspired genuine life change!
Do not let all kinds of strange teachings lead you from the right way. It is good to receive inner strength from God's grace, and not by obeying rules about foods…
- Hebrews 13:9
Grace reveals:
Unconditional Love
Unfailing Security
Unparalleled Purpose
For God loved the world so much that he gave his only Son so that anyone who believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. God did not send his Son into the world to condemn it, but to save it.
- John 3:16
Grace reveals:
Unconditional Love
Unfailing Security
Unparalleled Purpose
For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
- Hebrews 13:9
Grace reveals:
Unconditional Love
Unfailing Security
Unparalleled Purpose
For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith-and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God-not by works, so that no one can boast. For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.
- Ephesians 2:8-10
God’s grace found in Jesus inspires real change from the inside.
