The Amazing Chase, August 23,2009
THE AMAZING CHASE
Pastor Steve Trimble ~ August 23, 2009
John 15:16 “You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you to go and bear fruit — fruit that will last.” NIV
Rom 10:21 "All day long I have held out my hands to a disobedient and obstinate people." NIV
I. GOD WANTS TO HAVE RELATIONSHIP WITH YOU
A. God is chasing, pursuing you! Eph 1:3-6
Predestination means that God predetermined that He loved you and prepared a way for you to know Him and have a relationship with you, before you even loved Him.
Rom 5:8 “But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.”
2 Peter 3:9 “He is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance.”
B. You need to realize how much God loves you.
John 3:16
1 John 4:9-10 “God showed how much He loved us by sending His only Son into the world so that we might have eternal life through Him. This is real love. He sent His Son as a sacrifice to take away our sins.” NLT
C. God wanted a family to love. 1 John 3:1 “What an incredible quality of love the Father has shown us that we should be permitted to be called and counted as the children of God.” Amp
D. God's love is four-dimensional for you. Eph. 3:18,19 “May you be able to feel and understand how long, how wide, how deep and how high God’s love really is and experience this love for yourself.” LB
1. How long is God’s love?
2. It is wide enough to be everywhere.
3. It is deep enough to handle everything.
4. Then it is high enough to overlook your mistakes.
II. GOD WANTS YOU TO PURSUE HIM
A. God is jealous when we ignore Him.
2 Cor 11:2-3, 1 Tim 6:6-13, 2 Tim 2:22, Heb 12:1-3
CONCLUSION: Right now you can have a relationship with God… stop running, turn to Him, He’s been chasing you. Invite Him to come into your life, forgive you of your sin & fill you with His Holy Spirit.
