Stages

Friday July 23, 2010- Man, I'm so excited about this weekend @ The City Church. I get the opportunity to preach the last message in our series called "Stages". This series has been such a time of growth for me as well as many that have been part of the journey. So I want to take a few lines and recap what we've gone over. Stages is a series that covers the many phases(Stages) of the life of king David. Here are a few.
The Pasture of Preparation- David not only fought a lion and a bear, he had to learn to walk through a lot of mess(sheep are messy animals).
The Tent of Training- Spear pressure almost got the best of him(people throw things at you).
The Field of the Fight- If we do what God wants us to do, for the reasons God wants to do them, we will be unstoppable.
The Campaigns of the Chariots- People are funny. The same people who shout “Hosanna” will also shout “Crucify”.
The Cave of Conflict- David had 2 chances to kill Saul. “It’s the things no one else sees, that produce the results everyone else wants”.
The Palace of the Privileged-
• The palace is a place of anointing
• Your anointing is cultivated trough “purity” and “holiness”
• Your gifting can get your foot in the door, but it’s your character that keeps it there
The Balcony of Boredom- Idle time will fight against the plans God has for your life(accountability is a must).
This week we are going to discuss The Seat of Significance. Can't tell you what we are going to talk about, but I will say you don't want to miss this Sunday @ The City Church.
Have a great weekend!
