Notes

Expectations
Luke 9

  • Spiritual Holdup: A personal belief or experience that arrests the progression of our spiritual development.

  • My Expectations from my relationship with God…

    1. God will give me my best life now

    2. God will ensure that good leads to good (good behavior or intention on my part produces only good to return to me)

    3. Obedience leads to a life of ease.

    4. That God’s responsibility is to bless my plans (I’m the leader not the follower)

    5. God’s call on my life will always make sense and will never conflict with parallel priorities (work & family) in my life.

  • Luke 9:52-56

  • (spiritual) Expectation: begins with a spiritual ambition and includes an assumption about what the outcome will be.

  • Lifestyle:  (expectation about what life in Christ is all about)

  • Priorities: (the things in life and ministry that I think are most important)

    • Luke 9:59-60

  • Relationships: (the rank of relationships in my life)

    • Luke 9:61-62
