Happy Wednesday Movement Church

Happy Wednesday Movement Church! By now, last Sunday is long gone from most of our hearts and minds. So, I wanted to take a brief moment and remind you of a few things about the Principle of the Path:

1. Your direction, not your intention, determines your destination. Just because you intend to grow in your faith, have a better marriage, be a better parent, get in shape - doesn't guarantee you will. What are you INTENTIONALLY doing TODAY to make sure you end up where you desire to be?
  • Daily time in God's Word/Prayer (PRIORITY!)
  • Scheduled Date Nights w/ Spouse
  • Scheduled Date Nights w/ Kids
  • Scheduled workout plan

2. There
are two major paths for us to choose daily: 1) Destruction Prov. 7:6-27; 2) Life Jn. 14:6

3. If we want to CHANGE our path/direction, there's 4 dynamics to be aware of:
  • Action - Do something to change your direction TODAY (stop, phone call, apology, scheduling). Joseph fled Gen. 39:12.
  • Sacrifice - Be willing to sacrifice something in order to CHANGE (reputation, friendship, romance, comfort, money). Joseph sacrificed his position Gen. 39:19-20.
  • Embarrassment - Be willing to be embarrassed. People won't understand why you are making necessary changes. Remember, you shouldn't be as concerned with where you are as you are about where you are going! Don't sacrifice the eternal for the temporal. Joseph was accused of rape Gen. 39:16-18.
  • Relief - Be ready to experience relief! Sin entangles, and bad choices linger. But doing the right thing results in blessing! Joseph was promoted Gen. 41:39-43.

I love my church! Thank you for the opportunity to serve you! I CANNOT WAIT UNTIL SUNDAY!

Pastor Jeremy
