DIVINE DISRUPTION - Pastor Brent Roam “UPSIDE DOWN" PART 3 November 24, 2019 www.onefamilychurch.com One Family Church 6350 Delmar Blvd University City, MO 63130 [T]hey dragged . . . some brethren to the rulers of the city, crying out, “These who have turned the world upside down have come here too. . . . [They] are all acting contrary to the decrees of Caesar, saying there is another king—Jesus.” Acts 17:6-7 DIVINE DISRUPTION DISRUPTIVE NETFLIX PANDORA TURBO TAX DIGITAL PHOTOGRAPHY AIRBNB Jesus . . . reshaped [their] identity. He broke down dividing walls of hostility; he transformed how his followers saw themselves and treated “the other”. . . . God was true Father; they were all brothers and sisters. . . . They lived differently in the world. . . . Two millennia ago, Jesus Christ. . . set in motion a movement that turned the world upside down. He is the same Lord today. It can happen again. What would it take for us to become divine disruptors in the world? Do everything without grumbling or arguing, so that you may become blameless and pure, “children of God without fault in a warped and crooked generation.” Then you will shine among them like stars in the sky. . . . Philippians 2:14-15 OUR ATTITUDE AFFECTS OUR ILLUMINATION Now I want you to know, brothers and sisters, that what has happened to me has actually served to advance the gospel. As a result, it has become clear throughout the whole palace guard and to everyone else that I am in chains for Christ. And because of my chains, most of the brothers and sisters have become confident in the Lord and dare all the more to proclaim the gospel without fear. Philippians 1:12-14 OUR ETHICS IMPACT OUR EFFECTIVENESS Dear friends, I urge you, as foreigners and exiles, to abstain from sinful desires, which wage war against your soul. Live such good lives among the pagans that, though they accuse you of doing wrong, they may see your good deeds and glorify God on the day he visits us. 1 Peter 2:11-12 OUR UNITY IS OUR TESTIMONY I pray . . . that all of them may be one, Father, just as you are in me and I am in you. May they also be in us so that the world may believe that you have sent me. I have given them the glory that you gave me, that they may be one as we are one — I in them and you in me — so that they may be brought to complete unity. Then the world will know that you sent me and have loved them even as you have loved me. John 17:20-23 [A]s God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity. Colossians 3:12-14
