Hunger for God: Selfless King Jesus

Hunger for God: Selfless King Jesus Luke 4 & Luke 19 Pastor Steve Poole 1. Fasting prepares us to resist temptation. • James 4:7 • God > me • “Here we see the most significant difference between Jesus and Adam: Jesus believed God. Let me say it again. It is not simply that Jesus believed in God, but he believed God.” ~ R. C. Sproul 2. Fasting increases our hunger for God. 3. Fasting prepares us to live out God’s purpose for our lives. (Romans 12:1) NEXT STEPS 1. Believe in King Jesus for salvation. 2. Fast this week and ask God to increase your hunger for His will. 3. Reflect on these journal questions: How am I living out my purpose, calling and identity in Christ? What does it look like to offer myself as a living sacrifice? (Romans 12:1) JOURNAL - How am I living out my purpose, calling and identity in Christ? What does it look like to offer myself as a living sacrifice? MEDITATE -“But because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions—it is by grace you have been saved. 6 And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus, 7 in order that in the coming ages he might show the incomparable riches of his grace, expressed in his kindness to us in Christ Jesus. 8 For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— 9 not by works, so that no one can boast. 10 For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.” ~Ephesians 2:4-10 PRAY - Father, help us to hunger more for you. Let your will become our will. Give us the strength to walk by the Spirit and do the good works you prepared for us to do.
