Sermon Notes

Think about every movie you’ve seen or story you’ve read where someone in it sacrifices for the benefit of someone else.  We often call them heroes.  Isn't there something in us that's stirred or reacts emotionally to seeing that happen?  Probably because we know deep down we aspire to that kind of selflessness.  

What's not intuitive is giving ourselves away actually leads to happiness!  We can't acquire or consume our way there but emptying ourselves of ourselves actually leads to being filled up.  Why - because that's how God designed us.  We were designed by God to be heroic - to give up our comfort in some way for the benefit of others.  Not fearfully responding to life with self-preservation but to walk daily in trust with Him and live heroically!
