EWOC sermon – 2.9.2020

THIS IS THE YEAR OF 2020 – 20/20 VISION –

WHICH WILL NEVER BE REPEATED OF THE ENTIRE LIFE OF THE EARTH.

Jeremiah 29:13-14 The Message (MSG)

^13-14 “When you come looking for me, you’ll find me.

“Yes, when you get serious about finding me and want it more than anything else, I’ll make sure you won’t be disappointed.” God’s Decree.

“I’ll turn things around for you.…… You can count on it.

Let me tell you of men that 20/20 vision………

#1. JESUS

#2. APOSTLES

#3. SAUL/Paul………Straight street to Damascus……

WHAT WAS THE COMMON DRIVE OF THESE OF THESE FINE MEN?

SAVING THE LOST!

Matthew 6:33 New Century Version (NCV)

³³ Seek first God’s kingdom and what God wants. Then all your other needs will be met as well.

WHAT IS IT WHAT GOD WANTS?

……ETERNAL RESULTS……. SOULS!

John 21:3 ³ Simon Peter said, “I’m going fishing.”

(ARE YOU GOING FISHING? – WHEN IS IT TIME TO GO FISHING?)

“We’ll come, too,” they all said. So they went out in the boat, but they caught nothing all night.

⁴ At dawn Jesus was standing on the beach, but the disciples couldn’t see who he was. ⁵ He called out, “Fellows, have you caught any fish?”

(JESUS IS ASKING TODAY.)

“NO,” they replied.

⁶ Then he said, “Throw out your net on the right-hand side of the boat, and you’ll get some!” So they did, and they couldn’t haul in the net because there were so many fish in it.

(DON’T ASK…. JUST GO AND JESUS IS GOING TO GIVE YOU SUCCESS!)

⁷ Then the disciple Jesus loved said to Peter, “It’s the Lord!”

(AS YOU GO FISHING YOU WILL FIND THAT JESUS IS WITH YOU)

When Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he put on his tunic (for he had stripped for work), jumped into the water, and headed to shore. ⁸ The others stayed with the boat and pulled the loaded net to the shore, for they were only about a hundred yards from shore.

John 20:21-23

• “LOOK! I AM UNCOVERING WHAT HAS BEEN HIDDEN,

• REVEALING WHAT HAS BEEN IN PREPARATION,

• OPENING DOORS THAT HAVE BEEN CLOSED!”

• FROM RESET TO THE REVEALING,

• FROM CLOSED TO OPEN DOORS!

John 20:21-23 The Message (MSG)

20-21 The disciples, seeing the Master with their own eyes, were exuberant. Jesus repeated his greeting: “Peace to you. Just as the Father sent me, I send you.” 22-23 Then he took a deep breath and breathed into them. “Receive the Holy Spirit,” he said. “If you forgive someone’s sins, they’re gone for good. If you don’t forgive sins, what are you going to do with them?”
