THE CORRECT INTRODUCTION

2 Corinthians 5:17-18
-You cannot introduce yourself if you don’t even know who you are.
-Too many times we play the role of another person without realizing that it’s not who we really are.
-Once you become saved you can no longer relate to your old man.
“You may have done what they said you did but you are not who they say you are.” -T.D. Jakes
“You are who God says you are.” -Mark Hankins
-The moment you come into a relationship with God He makes you new, gives you a new start, and gives you new things.
-v.18 says that after He gives you a new start that He gives you the ministry of giving others a new start.

EXTREME MAKEOVER "YOU" EDITION

Ephesians 2:10

Other Translations:
AMP: “For we are God’s [own] handiwork…”
NLT: “…we are God’s masterpiece…”
Message: “No, we neither make nor save ourselves. God does both the making and saving. He creates each of us by Christ Jesus to join him in the work he does, the good work he has gotten ready for us to do, work we had better be doing.”

-The Message translation of Ephesians 2:10 changes the way you look at that verse.
-Before you see that we are God’s personal remodel project.
-He is putting His finishing touches on us.
-He is a Master Craftsman.
-The Message translations brings it into a whole new light. God is preparing us for something to do and it says that we better be doing it.
-What are you doing for God right now?
-How are you bettering the Kingdom of God and the Body of Christ?
-Is your attendance in church enough for God to say, “Well done, thou good and faithful servant.” (Matthew 25:21)

THE CITY IS WHITE

John 4:35 (KJV)
John 4:35 (The Message)

“As you look around right now, wouldn't you say that in about four months it will be time to harvest? Well, I'm telling you to open your eyes and take a good look at what's right in front of you. These Samaritan fields are ripe. It's harvest time!”

-I’m here to tell you that these Acadian fields are ripe!
-Easter Sunday is next week. What will you do to get people in here to be saved?
-People we know and people we don’t know are dying and going to hell as we speak.
-You are His handiwork. He prepared you for this.
-Go out and do what He created you to do!
-I spent most of my life remodeling houses. Now I am remodeling lives.
-Jesus said that the fields are white and ready to harvest.
-The song says, “I’m dreaming of a white Christmas.”
-Well, I’m dreaming of a white Easter.
-Extreme Makeover “You” Edition:
-God took you and gave you a new start.
-He gave you the ministry of giving others that same new start.
-Then He said that you better be doing it.

-God remade you so that you can remake others.
