Sermon Notes:
1 Peter 2:9 “But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that you should show forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvelous light”
Matthew 28:19 “Therefore, go and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit.”
Normal people believe in God, sometimes attend a church, and may read the Bible, but their relationship with God is not so pre-eminent in their lives that it affects their relationships. Crazy people are pickled—so baptized, so immersed, into the life of God that they cannot “hide” in the cucumber patch. Crazy people have crazy connections.
1. Matthew 10:34-40
1. Life—lose it or find it depending on much you will let your relationship with Jesus mess with your other relationships.
- 4 Basic Human Needs:
1. A Sense of Worth.
2. A Sense of Belonging.
3. A Sense of Purpose.
4. A Sense of Competence.
2. Four types of relationships in a healthy life:
1. Mentors
2. Models
3. Friends
4. Partners
Matthew 11:2-3
If our partners are not reinforcing the hand of God in our life, we will slowly begin begin the descent from Crazy to normal.
So What/Now What?
- Get Baptized
- Surround yourself with Crazy friends who know the real “High Life
- Join a SOAP group. Start a SOAP group.
- Connect to your church on a deeper level.
