Wild Blue Yonder : week 5

Levi Lusko - Fresh Life Church

The Waypoints of Wonder

Navigating through the waypoints of wonder will provide us a path to make sure we're on the right trajectory as we give.

We're not here for the end of something, we're here for the beginning of something.
This is the launchpad and the launchpad is the culmination of all that came before it, but it's not the end of something..it's to infinity and beyond!

We look back and honor those who have paved the way, and we look forward and have faith God will use our gifts and our stories to bring more glory to Him.

You can give without loving, but you can't love without giving.

Word God gave to the Lusko's while they're preparing to give : WONDER

Wonder : epic, admiration, astonishment, something awesomely mysterious

Luke 10:17-24

He's connected Genesis 3 - the gospel overturns death itself.
Do not rejoice in your good works.
Rejoice that your name is written in Heaven!

1. RISK
There needs to be risk in order to use our faith.

2. DUTY
We all have a part to play in this.
Luke 17 - servant working all day in the field, comes in the house and wants to relax. Jesus says he needs to change and then prepare his masters meal. 
What's the most important gift? That everyone is working together and doing their duty.

3. NAIVITE 
Childlike whimsical faith
God uses the simple.
God uses the foolish things of the world.
"Stay hungry, stay foolish." Steve Jobs

4. OPTIMISM
God is for me!
He's overflowing our cups!
David "I will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of living.
Benefit finders and fault forgetters.

5. WEIGHT
Our gift should be weighty.
This is attached to the saving of souls.
Heavy in a good way.
God's glory is weighty...it's expensive, it's powerful.

Ecclesiastes 11:4
Give with your eyes on the skies.
Awestruck majesty!
