Good preachin' PK...

I went home this weekend . . . when asked why I went home this weekend, my response was not what people planned. I had laundry, and a lot of it.
It was quite a week up here. We had fall break last weekend and (the 16th-19th) and Jeffrey was here. So needless to say, I had more laundry (additional sheets and towels) and then our apartment had a cock roach in it . . . which meant that the floor with the roach relocated to the top floor aka my room and the other rooms on the top floor to crash for the night. So that was an ADDITIONAL set of sheets.
In going home, I went to a well-put sermon by none other than PK. Seriously though, when aren't his sermons well-put? : )
This particular sermon was drawn from Deuteronomy 1:22-46. He preached how those who have faith in God's promise for us, we will live a life full of adventure, joy, and without fear. He preached how Caleb and Joshua were promised a particular piece of land and they fought with all of their might and faith to get that land since they were promised this land by God, regardless that the enemy was predicted impossible to defeat. Because of their faith in God's promise, God's promise was fulfilled and they were given their land.
PK's message was that we should live as they did. That we should live our life like Teddy Roosevelt, who lived in an almost "reckless abandon" because his father believed in a Father who provided his son with a faithful and brilliant mind.
I feel that my synoposis of this sermon does not do it justice and highly recommend you listen to it here. But besides that, in the closing of the sermon outline, he enclosed this last thought that really hit home for me:

Worship point : Oh the worship, joy, and praise that weould result if we were to pursue life like we really believed God and His promises. Have you really thought about the promises of God and the implications in your lie? If you did, it would cause you to worship.
Spiritual Challenge : I would challenge you to realize that you honor and glorify God when you trust in His promises enough to forcefully, aggressively, and confidently pursue those things that God has promised. But, you dishonor God and rob God of His glory when (out of unbelief) you either do not pursue that which He has promised, or when you erroneously pursue that which He has NOT promised.

I think these are two great points that have been hit right on, once again, by PK and his genius sermons (even though he proclaims that 90% of his work is shared among pastors, he still delivers it so well that he makes it his own).

Listen to the sermon, check out the outline (also enclosed within the link), and soak it up. It's really empowering and uplifting to know what PK shared this week! : )
