Fusion: week of 8/27

FAMILY THEME: HONORING GOD WITH OUR DEVOTION

James 4:1-4 ; Luke 14:26 ; Acts 12:20-23 ; 

1 Peter 2:17 ; Matt. 22:34-40

God alone deserves complete and unconditional devotion.

1.  Be Devoted to God More Than to Any Desire, Pleasure, 

     Person, or Thing

     (James 4:1-4 ; Acts 12:20-23)

     Pursuit of the things of the world promises much but

     delivers little.

 
2.  Practice Total Devotion - First to God, Then to Others

     (Matthew 22:34-40)

     Devotion is first and foremost an act of love.

 
3.  Our Devotion to Christ is to Be Far Greater Than Even

     Our Devotion to Our Family

     (Luke 14:26)

     The best thing we can do for our family is to be wholly

     devoted to Jesus.
