Week 2 - Listen
1 Samuel 3:1-20
Theme is Identity, self-aware and God-aware

RESOLVE to SEEK GOD - How?
MOTIVATION - over the holidays I watched 3 Rocky movies.
God gave you two ears, one mouth. LISTEN.
1. Rocky says to Adonis Creed, “You can't learn when you're talking. The more you talk the less you listen.”
AWARENESS - How do you seek God? Awareness of identity
1. Self - Identity
  1. False Self - survival and reaction, dependent on others/external influences
  2. True Authentic Self - who you are in Christ, God’s creation
2. Who God is? Character
  1. Unchanging
  2. Who are YOU IN CHRIST?
3. Who you are? Strengths, gifts, demeanor, passions, VALUES
  1. Some things change
  2. Some things don’t
Know Thyself; be self-aware; play to your strengths
The INTERIOR life
1. Silence
2. Solitude
Average to Good, Good to Great; Eli vs. Samuel

Breakout Series Week 1
Resolve

Matthew 6:33, Matthew 7:7-11
Isaiah 60 - Rise for your light has come
Matthew 2 Wise men visit Jesus - Epiphany

Introduce the series - How to have a BREAKOUT year in 2018
One Resolution: SEEK GOD
The Wise Men set out to Seek God - Why?
1. The Star - Angels, dreams - wouldn’t it be great if God spoke?
2. Why follow the star, they’re not Jewish? - MOTIVATION
RESOLVE
1. Grit. Determination. Perseverance. Don't quit. Willing to be Uncomfortable and face adversity.
2. FACING THE GIANTS CLIP
3. Resolve a conflict
4. Set your mind to accomplish a task. Take action
GOALS - Do something not just hope it happens
1. Begin with the end in mind.
2. What’s the first step?
3. What’s the next step?
4. What step are you thinking of, but counting out for some reason?
So, what’s in your way? YOU ARE
1. The greatest struggle is against yourself. Blindfold = FAITH
2. Just say NO.
3. Say YES to the right things, things that fill and fulfill. The point is GROWTH and IMPROVEMENT, and NOT punishment.
God IS speaking. Isaiah 60; Matthew 6:33 & 7:7-11
Wake up!
