Crossroads at Comfort Corner - Six Crossroads for the Journey Ahead

Session 2

CROSSROADS AT COMFORT CORNER

The boundary of obedience . . . the comfort line.

What our hearts are restless for our beyond that line.

Isaiah 43:18, 19 - God’s “new thing” takes us into unexplored territory, where we find the supernatural!

The restless heart of a spiritual veteran

Philippians 3:10-14 Romans 15:20

For all his unparalleled experiences with and for Jesus, he wants to go deeper and farther.

There’s a convicting Old Testament picture of our modern Christian faith.

Numbers 32:1, 5; 32:6, 23, 27 - The sin of settling. Of following as far

as the comfort line.

So we have reached . . .

THE CROSSROADS AT COMFORT CORNER

Crossroads # 2 SETTLE OR SOAR?

GOING DEEPER.

5 words - “I want to know Christ!”

A disturbing question - John 14:9

What holds us back - unsurrendered strongholds

II Corinthians 10:4, 5

We’ve dealt with the superficial garbage of sin.

Now God’s calling us to deal with the structural damage of sin.

How we get our way. Hidden pride. Dishonesty. Lust.

Hurtful words. Controlling. Prejudice. Coveting.

What limits God’s blessing - unrighteous priorities.

Haggai 1:2-7, 9

Seeking first our kingdom

Nothing works until we obey.

What brings us close - unexplored intimacy

Luke 24:15, 27, 30-32

An “Emmaus walk” every morning.

It’s when He helps us see what He sees.

Not just a verse, but a Voice.

Not just a book, but a Person.

Not just a “know,” but a do!

Not just a headful of facts, but a heart on fire!

A deepening relationship with Jesus is the product of a thousand invisible

mornings!

GOING FARTHER
