Imago Dei's 1000 conversations

Imago dei church in Portland…I’ve been listening to some sermons I downloaded from the internet…gotta love the internet…here are some thoughts I like…
There is one sermon called “1000 conversations, part 3” that I really like…have listened to it about 5 times.

Breathe
Rhythm of worship
Picture of devotion
Worship starts when we can accept that god made me
Is your soul dying,…is the air running out if you keep going down that path

It is an assumption that you love yourself
Heart by heart, and life by life…put the world back together
In the economy of god
I am what I am by the grace of god
Communityàaffinity

Abraham, hope of our faith>>>>>>>>another sermon
Start letting this story shape your reality, today
We don’t need to get our act together to get good with God
Are you a miserable Christian?
We don’t think much about the “endgame”
What causes your stress, what do you get excited about, what are you anticipating
We are hoping in “our preferred future”
The faith thing is a slower process
We live in a world that promises immediacy
What do you do when the promise is not fulfilled?
Hope in God, not the world.
We’re really good at staring at the cabinet, in a world that really needs to be restored.
We treat this world as though it is our hope.??
We treat our faith as though god will give us the perfect life.
Faith….smack dab in the middle of the mess
How does our faith engage our hope
What do you hope for?....meansàWhat is it in your life that gives you security?
