20/20 Clarity Vision

Speaker: Jim Hammond

Narrowing your attention fixes your focus.

FOR the Verde Valley 

1. LOVE GOD WHOLEHEARTEDLY

1 John 4:19
We love because he first loved us.

Ezekiel 36:24-27
" 'For I will take you out of the nations; I will gather you from all the countries and bring you back into your own land. I will sprinkle clean water on you, and you will be clean; I will cleanse you from all your impurities and from all your idols. I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you; I will remove from you your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh. And I will put my Spirit in you and move you to follow my decrees and be careful to keep my laws.

It is like we see ourselves clearly for the first time.  I am a sinner.  I need a savior.  You (God) are holy, and I am not.  I was self-centered, self-gratifying, self-absorbed. I didn't know what I was doing. And I didn't even know that I didn't know.

Matthew 22:37-40
Jesus replied: " 'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.' This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.' All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments."

1. LOVE GOD WHOLEHEARTEDLY
2. Do FIRST Things FIRST
3. Don't Do LIFE ALONE
4. SAVED People SERVE People
5. FOLLOWERS Say, "FOLLOW Me."

Matthew 28:18-20
Then Jesus came to them and said, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age."
