Pastor Kawika Sever
Series: Colossians Book Study
Colossians 1:3-6

-Paul did not plant or visit the church in Colossae.
-But that's who he wrote the book of Colossians to.
-The Colossians didn't know what to believe about Jesus or how to live for Jesus.
-The Colossians had colossal problems! Yet Paul was still thankful for them.
-The Colossians' value is not found in their mastery of theology (or lack thereof).
-The Colossians' value is found in the fact that they are children of God.
-We all need a Savior: JESUS
-We can't transform people, but God can.
-Our job isn't to make people act better faster.
-We need to be open to the change God wants to make in us.
-We can point people to Jesus.
-Your turn: Write a letter to a person or a group of people in whom you do not see much good. Ask God to help you see them the way He sees them.

Series: The Bible Doesn't Say That
Scripture: Ephesians 2:8-10
Saying to examine: God helps those who help themselves.

Sermon Notes:
-This saying is found in Aesop's Fables (Hercules & the Wagoneer), not the Bible.
-This saying was endorsed by Benjamin Franklin.
-This is one of the most widely known "Bible verses" in America.
-People invest excessively in self-help products.
-Scripture is filled with stories of people who can't help themselves. But God helps them out of His great mercy.
-Grace saves you (Eph. 2:8-9)! God rescued you when you couldn't save yourself.
-We can choose God's way, giving up our own way. God provided a better way for us.
-We can choose God's way, wait for Him,
and do His will through His strength.
-It's critical that we move away from the pathway that we can earn God's help through our works. No, it's all through grace.

God is good Bible verses: Exodus 34:6; 1 Chronicles 16:34; Ezra 3:11; Psalms 25:8, 33:5, 34:8, 69:16, 100:4-5, 107:8-9, 119:68, 143:10, 145:5-7, 145:9; Nahum 1:7; Mark 10:18

Series: The Bible Doesn't Say That!
Pastor Kawika Sever
Debunking the myth: "God won't give you more than you can handle."

Bible Passages: 1 Corinthians 10:12-13, John 16:33, 2 Corinthians 1:8-9, Isaiah 40:29, Matthew 11:28-30, 1 Corinthians 10:15-17, 1 Corinthians 13:1-3, Philippians 4:6-7

Key Points:
1. You are not alone because human suffering is universal and unavoidable (John 16:33). Sometimes it's caused by us, other times by others.
2. You are not alone because God is faithful! We can rely on his power to carry us through (2 Cor. 1:9, Isaiah 40:29, Matt. 11:28-30, Philippians 4:6-7).
3. You are not alone because God's design for life is based around community (1 Cor. 10:15-17).
-Love is the way out and the way forward.

More Sermon Notes:
-1 Corinthians 10:12-13 is talking about resisting temptation. Don't take it out of context!
-The cliche can imply that life won't be that hard if you follow Jesus (not true!).
-There will be times when you're pushed beyond what you can handle on your own (2 Cor. 1:8).
-This cliche can make people feel alone.
