It's All about Your Worldview

1. Enlightenment Christianity is a                                               worldview

   Several slide diagrams go here -- Development of Worldview

2. The worldview of the Bible is Jesus' view

   • God's greatest supernatural work happens all the time:                                              

     For I resolved to know nothing while I was with you except Jesus Christ and him crucified.
     1 Corinthians 2:2

   • The                                     is here: communicate the Gospel, heal the sick, cast out demons

     My message and my preaching were not with wise and persuasive words, but with a demonstration of the Spirit's power, so that your faith might not rest on men's wisdom, but on God's power.
     1 Corinthians 2:4-5

     He called his twelve disciples to him and gave them authority to drive out evil spirits and to heal every disease and sickness. . . As you go, preach this message: 'The kingdom of heaven is near.' Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse those who have leprosy, drive out demons. Freely you have received, freely give.
     Matthew 10:1, 7-8

   • "Now,                            and do this in my name." -- Jesus

     Then Jesus came to them and said, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go . . .
     Matthew 28:18-19

   •                                               and                                to act

     We have different gifts, according to the grace given us. If a man's gift is prophesying, let him use it in proportion to his faith. . .
     Romans 12:6

     All these are the work of one and the same Spirit, and he gives them to each one, just as he determines.
     1 Corintians 12:11

   • Lots of stuff changes --                                                               

     Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.
     Hebrews 13:8

3. Escape from worldview captivity

   • Make sure there is no                      problem

   • Embrace the                                               that God really is the same yesterday, today and forever

   • Read the Bible with the                                                    that these things happen today

   • Don't                           about your doubts

   • Give God "                                                   " to do anything he wants with you and through you

   •                 in faith -- watch what God will do through you
