Broken Vessels Week 7 – David Nasser

Broken Vessels: Shattered Pieces Put Together to Tell a Better Story

Overview: 

If the Gospel truly lands on your heart it should change you in a major way, not just a slight change.?

Stop letting it just be behavior modification because Christ is ready to change everything.

You can’t rededicate something that you never truly gave to God in the first place.

The gospel does not shift a few things it results in a complete trajectory change.

Verses:

Isaiah 6:1-9- ESV

1 In the year that King Uzziah died I saw the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up; and the train of his robe filled the temple. 2 Above him stood the seraphim. Each had six wings: with two he covered his face, and with two he covered his feet, and with two he flew. 3 And one called to another and said:

“Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of hosts;
the whole earth is full of his glory!”

4 And the foundations of the thresholds shook at the voice of him who called, and the house was filled with smoke. 5 And I said: “Woe is me! For I am lost; for I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips; for my eyes have seen the King, the Lord of hosts!”

6 Then one of the seraphim flew to me, having in his hand a burning coal that he had taken with tongs from the altar. 7 And he touched my mouth and said: “Behold, this has touched your lips; your guilt is taken away, and your sin atoned for.”

8 And I heard the voice of the Lord saying, “Whom shall I send, and who will go for us?” Then I said, “Here I am! Send me.” 9 And he said, “Go, and say to this people:

“‘Keep on hearing, but do not understand;
keep on seeing, but do not perceive.’

Questions: 

1) What’s a time in your life where you saw the Lord do something new through you?

2) When you think of God do you view Him the way Isaiah described Him??

3) When was the moment your trajectory changed, or has it?

4) Have you simplified your view of God to make yourself more comfortable?

5) Have you ever had an encounter with God so real that it wrecked you to the point that you have never been the same?
