REfocus Your Focus: From Moses to the Cross

I had a good time with the Downtown Church of Christ in Searcy yesterday morning.

Have you ever felt as if God has placed a call on your life you simply don’t have the ability to fulfill?

Moses felt that way, but what he learned over time is that fulfilling God’s call on his life wasn’t about his ability – it was about his availability. God is the hero of the Exodus story, and He’s the hero of your story too. Want evidence? Look to the cross.

Don’t ask, “Am I able?” Instead ask, “Am I available?”

You can access this sermon and PowerPoint here:

  • Audio: Wes Woodell – RE:Focus Your Focus (32:00)
  • PowerPoint: Scripture Slides

    • In addition to preaching at Downtown yesterday morning, I also had a great time with the College Avenue Church of Christ in El Dorado, AR, yesterday evening.

    It was a whirlwind of a day, but a good one.

    Fellowship with other believers who believe in and support our mission in San Francisco is always a wonderful thing. 🙂

    p.s. – has WordPress gone stupid? I can’t seem to resize images in the editor anymore, and all my previous posts with images in them have the pictures at full size now … any other WordPress bloggers know what’s going on? Am I the only one having this problem?

    New Book: Viola & Sweet’s Jesus Manifesto Discounted on Amazon

    A good one to add to your summer reading schedule.

    Frank Viola & Leonard Sweet’s new book Jesus Manifesto: Restoring the Supremacy and Sovereignty of Jesus Christ releases Tuesday June 1 (that’s tomorrow) and is being sold now at a special discounted price on Amazon.com.

    Here’s a description from the Jesus Manifesto website:

    Christians have made the gospel about so many things—things other than Christ. Religious concepts, ideas, doctrines, strategies, methods, techniques, programs, and formulas have all eclipsed the beauty, the glory, and the reality of the Lord Jesus Himself. On the whole, the Christian family today is starved for a real experience of the living Christ. We know a lot about our Lord, but we don’t know Him very well. We know a lot about trying to be like Jesus, but very little about living by His indwelling life. “Jesus Manifesto” presents a fresh unveiling of Jesus as not only Savior and Lord, but as so much more. It is a prophetic call to restore the supremacy and sovereignty of Christ in a world—and a church—that has lost sight of Him. Read this book and see your Lord like you’ve never seen Him before.

    If you’re a fan of Frank or Len’s work, you might consider picking your own copy up.

    Taking steps to keep Christ in his rightful place is something I’m a fan of. Hope you are too. 🙂
