What’s It For?
•Focus
–Hold things together
=
–Col 1:15-17 He is the image=
of
the invisible God, the firstborn over all
creation. For by him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible <=
/span>and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things were created by him and for him. He is before all things, and in him all things hold together.
–Heb 12:2 Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the
author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before him endured the cros=
s,
scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the thr=
one
of God.

How Does It Work?
•Flexible
–Willing to change
–Rom 12:1-2 Therefore, I urge
you, brothers, in view of God's mercy, to offer your
bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God–this is your spiritual act of
worship. Do not conform any longer to t=
he
pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be=
able to test and approve what God's will is–his good,
pleasing and perfect will.
–Phil 4:8-9 Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever i=
s noble, whatever is right,
whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable–if
anything is excellent or praiseworthy–think about such thing=
s.
Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me–=
put
it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you. =

When Can’t It Work?
•Limit
–Not our job
•1 Cor 10:13 No temptation h=
as
seized you except what is common to man. And God is
faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what =
you
can bear. But when you are tempted, he will al=
so
provide a way out so that you can stand up under it.&=

• John 15:4-5 Remain in me, and I will remain in you. No branch can bear fruit by itself; it must remain in the vine. Neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in me. “I am the vine; you are the branches. =
If a man remains in me and I in him, he will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing.=
