Beyond… the Urge to Quit


You can download this .mp3

Nehemiah 6 – There is a HUMAN desire to quit.

Nehemiah – “[Explained tough times for himself and ending with]. But, I prayed….”

The vision/mission is unlimited because we serve a limitless God, but Satan will do anything to attack us.

  • We cannot allow Satan to distract us from the vision
  • When the going got tough, Nehemiah prayed.

John 21:1-3,4-7,15-17

  1. Be faithful – inspite of the past(Philippians 3:13)
  2. Be faithful- in the present(John 21:18-20)
  3. Be faithful- in light of the future
    1. John 16:33
    2. 2 Timothy 3:1
    3. James 1:2
    4. 1 Peter 1:7
  • It’s harder to restart after quitting instead of getting beyond the urge to quit
  • We may not know what the future holds but we know WHO holds the future!!

Revelation 2:10b

Nehemiah 3-5

Nehemiah sought God(publically)

  • people did not let opposition prevent the vision

Nehemiah 3:10-11 – spiritual warfare; mental exhaustion of the workers


Mission & Motivation of Jesus

John 3:16 -> world equated people who opposed God

  • Lost people matter to God
  • Jesus #1 purpose ===> save lost people
  • Jesus paid w/his life to fulfill His purpose
    • there was a physical cost
    • there was an emotional cost
    • there was a spiritual cost

The cup was the wrath of God(in the Garden prayer)

Romans 5:8
Jonah 4:11
Mark 10:21
Luke 19:10
Colossians 1:16
Isaiah 53:6
Matthew 3:17
Luke 23:24
Matthew 27:46

Jesus died with an obsession

Main Verse: Nehemiah 2:11-20

Genesis 2, You have to be in a relationship with each other
Nehemiah 1:2; 2:1
1 John 4:8
1 John 3:18

God will always provide the friends to do his visions

Acts 2:44-47
Mark 1:16-18
Ephesians 5:1-2

Church in Acts was not an organizations to be attended
You cannot accomplish the role of Jesus by staying within the Church walls

Relationships are key to the vision of God

“Beyond…” the New Series

Loveland Christian Church just finished a year-long journey in studying the Gospels, learning how Jesus Christ lived, died, and rose again.  Within those pages we carefully looked at His teachings and His call.  We are now positioned in 2010 to move BEYOND the teaching to living the life!

This January series at LCC will not only give a picture of ministry and opportunity over the coming year but will also look practicallyat what moving BEYOND will mean in each of our lives.  This series will inspire us toward success, remind us of Christ’s purpose, call us to live out the mission, encourage our commitment, and finally challenge us to use each moment wisely.

Start this new year on the right foot.  Go BEYOND with us here at Loveland Christian Church each and every Sunday morning at 8:45, 10:00, and 11:15.
