SERMON NOTES:
The whole idea of “going for more”? Luke 10:38 – 11:13
11 2 He said to them, “When you pray, say:
“‘Father hallowed be your name, your kingdom come. 3 Give us each day our daily bread.
4 Forgive us our sins, for we also forgive everyone who sins against us. And lead us not into temptation.’”
5 Then Jesus said to them, “Suppose you have a friend, and you go to him at midnight and say, ‘Friend, lend me three loaves of bread; 6 a friend of mine on a journey has come to me, and I have no food to offer him.’ 7 And suppose the one inside answers, ‘Don’t bother me. The door is already locked, and my children and I are in bed. I can’t get up and give you anything.’ 8 I tell you, even though he will not get up and give you the bread because of friendship, yet because of your shameless audacity he will surely get up and give you as much as you need.
9 “So I say to you: Ask…
“Going for more” is asking for more life in Him, more of Him in us and more of His working in our lives
and world. We get to have an effect on His “more-ness” in our lives and in the lives of others.
“ how much more will your Father in heaven give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him”- Jesus
