Jesus Says
Andy Stanley
04/07/2013
Jesus says to pray. Jesus says not to look over there. Jesus says to be nice. Jesus says to get up early and read your Bible. Lots of people think Christianity is all about doing what Jesus says. But what if doing what Jesus says isn't what Jesus says to do at all? Regardless of what you believe. Regardless of how you behave. Jesus invites you to . . . follow him.

Next Steps

Religion says, Change and you can join us. Jesus says, Join us and you will change. There's a huge difference. Jesus doesn't expect you to be perfect. He just wants you to follow him. Being a sinner doesn't disqualify you from following him. Being an unbeliever doesn't disqualify you from following him. In fact, following almost always begins with a sinner and unbeliever taking one small step.

Everyone is invited to follow Jesus. Being a sinner doesn't disqualify you. Being a doubter doesn't disqualify you. The goal of following Jesus is a faith that overcomes fear of the future or our current circumstances. It's a faith that gives us peace.
But what do people who follow Jesus look like? What do they wear?

The Fine Print
Andy Stanley

During his time on earth Jesus invited misbehavers and unbelievers to follow him. We are all invited to follow him. You are invited to follow him. But there's something you need to know about following Jesus. It will cost you something eventually.
It may cost you money, career advancement, or even relationships. That's because Jesus offers us the choice of denying ourselves now or losing ourselves later. But you'll find that when you pay the price for following Jesus, you'll be glad you did.

What I Want to Want
Andy Stanley
05/12/2013
Most of us don't become Christians with the intent of following Jesus. We become Christians because we were told obedience pays and disobedience doesn't. We become Christians hoping that spirituality will fill a hole in our souls. We become Christians hoping God will fix us or fix someone we know. Eventually, our agendas clash with Jesus' and we have to decide whether we'll abandon him or follow.

Leading Great
Andy Stanley
05/19/2013
We don't usually associate leadership with the church. Leadership is about what could and should be. We assume the church is about what has been. But Jesus was the greatest leader who ever lived. He modeled a unique approach to leadership that defies our expectations but changed the world.
Jesus leveraged his authority for the benefit of those under his authority. Following Jesus means that, when we find ourselves in positions of authority, we do the same.

We all wear labels. Many of the labels we wear were placed on us by others - parents, siblings, friends, teachers, coaches, or coworkers. But what if we're carrying around the wrong labels?
Who has the right to label you? Who are you going to allow to label you? Who knows best how to label you? Labels create expectations and expectations influence the direction of our lives.

Today's decisions become tomorrow's realities. Wise and discerning people understand that. They choose to live as if life is connected, as if each decision matters. That's because they know that their present becomes their past that shapes their future. In each season of life we make decisions that shape what our lives look like in the next season.

The Secret Sauce
Andy Stanley
03/10/2013
No one likes to be wrong. No one likes to be told what to do. But insisting that you're always right isn't a recipe for a great marriage. Great marriages are built on humility . . . on the willingness of both spouses to submit to each other and to God.
But how do you do that? It all begins with prayer.

Share the Wealth
Andy Stanley

Our culture says life's value is found in what we achieve or what we accumulate. But those things eventually fade away. We each have a treasure chest full of life experiences that will die with us unless we become intentional about distributing our wealth. The value of your life is found when we share those experiences.

We all move in the direction of the promises we believe. The Bible says God has promises for you and me. If we believe that's true, it's in our best interest to move in his direction—to draw near to God.
But if God has promises for us, why is it that life can be so difficult? Why do we face tragedy and suffering? How do we trust in God's promises when faith meets despair and joy meets loss?

Our lives are busy and fast-paced. The lack of margin increases our stress and shortens our tempers. It can distract us from the most important things in our lives . . . and our relationships suffer. It can even affect our relationship with God because there's a connection between our willingness to create margin and our faith.
Life is better with breathing room.

At some point in our attempts to get the most out of life, we lose control of our lives. We try to force one more thing in to our already busy lives and we reach a breaking point. Too much pressure causes an emotional breakdown. Too much debt causes a financial breakdown. Or maybe you're on the verge of a breakdown in your relationships.

You can't separate the Silent Night of Christmas from the 400 years of Silent Nights between the Old and New Testaments. Christmas gives us a real, tangible, and historical hope. It reminds us that even when God is silent, He isn't absent.

Rich people live in denial. They won't admit they're rich. No matter how much you have, there's always someone who has more. But if you earn $40,000 a year, you are in the top four percent of wage earners in the world. If you earn $48,000 a year, that puts you in the top one percent of wage earners in the world. Most of us are rich. And one of the dangers of being rich is discontentment. The more you have, the more you want.
Wealth has side effects. If you're rich, you're at risk. How do we avoid the pitfalls of wealth?

For many of us, our problem isn't that we're not rich (if you make $45,000 per year, you're in the top one percent of wage earners worldwide); our problem is that we don't feel rich. The desire to feel wealthy causes us to place our hope in money instead of in God. But the Bible describes a different way of thinking about and using our wealth.

We're all tempted to place our faith in money. We're tempted to believe that if we make enough, we'll be able to control our circumstances and create a better life for ourselves. The problem with that view is that the more we place our faith in money, the more it controls us. Scripture challenges us to look at our money differently because our lives are better when we place our trust in the One who richly provides. Viewing wealth through the lens of eternity loosens our grip on it and its grip on us.

I have to thank you guys so much for putting these sermons online. For the last year and a half I have been working 7 days a week saving for nursing school. I thought I was doing great, felt good until I landed in the ER of the hospital I work at thinking I was having a stroke. I am ok turned out to be nothing life threatening but it got my attention BIG TIME! I have heard sermons on living with margin since becoming a Christian 13 yrs ago...but I never saw it as a lack of trust in God.
Thanks to this sermon series [Breathing Room] I am making BIG changes to my schedule. I am leaving one of my jobs soon and taking some time to de-escalate and breath. God has been doing some amazing stuff in my life over the last week. It's so fun!
Thanks for serving Jesus on the World Wide Web! It's the only way I could go to church over this crazy period of my life and so many sermons have been just what I needed to hear! Just wanted to share how God used you in Missouri!

Last night I watched part of the sermon series FREE on Roku. In particular the final sermon. I have been seeing a Christian counselor for almost 1 year due to my frustration with the Christian life. It just never seemed to work.
After 25 years of trying to make it work , I was ready to give up. The final sermon in the series seemed to kind of make sense- maybe this is what I have been looking for. I would appreciate your prayers for my continued understanding of how God wants to relate to His people. And I really need a church to attend.
Thank you for your help
