“Holy Discontent”
June 28, 2009 -
The message “Holy Discontent” was first preached by Bill Hybels, Pastor of Willow Creek Community Church at a Leadership Summit a year ago, and is offered to churches like ours to help promote the Leadership Summit coming up this August 6-7. Holy discontent with the status quo is what Pastors, church leaders and church members need in order for God to propel them to greater accomplishments for the Kingdom. A vision of what God could do through our church must begin with dissatisfaction with how we are doing things now. Pastor Jim’s message this Sunday will take the skeleton of Hybels’ address and pack it with the meat of application to our TCC situation. To see the original Hybels’ message, as well as six other messages posted for use in church promotion, you are encouraged to go to: www.willowcreek.com. -
Exodus 2:11-12 -
11 One day, after Moses had grown up, he went out to where his own people were and watched them at their hard labor. He saw an Egyptian beating a Hebrew, one of his own people. 12 Glancing this way and that and seeing no one, he killed the Egyptian and hid him in the sand.
Exodus 3:7-10 -
7 The LORD said, “I have indeed seen the misery of my people in Egypt. I have heard them crying out because of their slave drivers, and I am concerned about their suffering. 8 So I have come down to rescue them from the hand of the Egyptians and to bring them up out of that land into a good and spacious land, a land flowing with milk and honey—the home of the Canaanites, Hittites, Amorites, Perizzites, Hivites and Jebusites. 9 And now the cry of the Israelites has reached me, and I have seen the way the Egyptians are oppressing them. 10 So now, go. I am sending you to Pharaoh to bring my people the Israelites out of Egypt.” -
