7 Feelings - Worship - Thoughts - Actions
Answer …. IMPOSSIBLE! Feelings - Worship - Thoughts - Actions

8 “There’s nothing I can do. I’m useless!”
‘Many people have just enough religion to be made miserable by it’ JOHN WESLEY

9 SUNDAY WORSHIP MONDAY LIFE
Sunday by Sunday we gather The ‘retired-busy’ crowd, the ‘living-life-to-the-full crowd’, the ‘uncertain-in-faith’ crowd, the ‘juggling-work-and-family’ crowd, we all come together in worship, expressing our unity in Christ and our deepest desires to follow him in every area of our lives day by day. So how can our worship on Sunday empower us for the lives we long to live for Christ out in the world, Monday to Saturday?

10 “What can little me do? What comes after verse 28? The parable of the Good Samaritan

11 If it’s impossible to love God with all your heart and soul and mind and strength … what is possible? “A man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho … Go and do likewise!” “Have mercy!”

12 MERCY - when we don’t get what we do deserve
random acts of kindness “Lord, have mercy!”

13 GRACE - when we do get what we don’t deserve

14 “Oh, you shouldn’t … but I’m so thankful that you did!”
‘The quality of mercy is not strained; it droppeth as the gentle rain from heaven above upon the place beneath …’ ‘ - and earthly power doth then show likest God’s, when mercy seasons justice’ “Oh, you shouldn’t … but I’m so thankful that you did!”

15 He cared …. but not for himself
He didn’t have to … So why did he? He cared …. but not for himself

16 “We agape-love because He first agape-loved us” 1 John 4:19
Does it work?

17 Revival!!

18 “We agape-love because He first agape-loved us” 1 John 4:19
Because He says so ….

19 Fill thou my life, O Lord my God, in every part with praise, that my whole being may proclaim thy being and thy ways. Not for the lip of praise alone, nor e'en the praising heart I ask, but for a life made up of praise in every part! Praise in the common things of life, its goings out and in; praise in each duty and deed, however small and mean.

20 Fill every part of me with praise; let all my being speak of thee and of thy love, O Lord, poor though I be, and weak. So shalt thou, Lord, from me, e'en me, receive the glory due; and so shall I begin on earth the song forever new. So shall no part of day or night from sacredness be free; but all my life, in every step be fellowship with thee!
