It's in those moments we realize how much we need a good, strong spiritual foundation.

Greg Laurie: A New Beginning

Unshakeable: When Faith Feels Fragile | Built for the Storm

For years, dry cleaners have used strong chemicals to remove tough stains from delicate fabrics. Things like perchloroethylene, DF2000 and liquid silicone. And usually, the stain goes away. But what do we do with the stain of sin . . . the stain that’s evident on every human heart. “What can wash away my sin – nothing but the blood of Jesus.” Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie shows us how the Lord can wash our sins as white as snow.

Unshakeable: When Faith Feels Fragile | Cleansed Completely

Notes:

Luke 17

God gives us biblical principles to free us from our three enemies: the world, the flesh, and the devil.
 
The freedom that the world offers is slavery.
  
Read Luke 17:1–2 (NKJV)
 
Your Influence Is Never Neutral.
 
Matthew 12:30 (NKJV)
"He who is not with Me is against Me, and he who does not gather with Me scatters abroad.”

You cannot impress people and bless people at the same time.
 
Parents, your greatest mission field is inside your own home.  
 
Deuteronomy 6:6–7 (NKJV)
"And these words which I command you today shall be in your heart. "You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, when you walk by the way, when you lie down, and when you rise up.”
 
Luke 17:2 (NLT)
It would be better to be thrown into the sea with a millstone hung around your neck than to cause one of these little ones to fall into sin.
 
1 Corinthians 10:31–32 (NLT)
So whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God. Don't give offense to Jews or Gentiles or the church of God.
 
1 Corinthians 10:33 (NLT)
I, too, try to please everyone in everything I do. I don't just do what is best for me; I do what is best for others so that many may be saved.
 
1 Corinthians 11:1 (NLT)
And you should imitate me, just as I imitate Christ.
 
Repent!
Turn from the shortcomings and follow God’s will.
 
Ask God to forgive you and to strengthen you so you won't fail.
 
Luke 17:3 (NKJV)
Take heed to yourselves. If your brother sins against you, rebuke him; and if he repents, forgive him.
 
Luke 17:4 (NKJV)
And if he sins against you seven times in a day, and seven times in a day returns to you, saying, 'I repent,' you shall forgive him.
 
Forgive As You’ve Been Forgiven.
 
Proverbs 27:5–6 (NKJV)
Open rebuke is better
Than love carefully concealed.
Faithful are the wounds of a friend,
But the kisses of an enemy are deceitful.
 
Luke 6:37 (NKJV)
Judge not, and you shall not be judged. Condemn not, and you shall not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven.
 
To forgive means to release someone from a debt.
 
Luke 17:5 (NKJV)
And the apostles said to the Lord, "Increase our faith."
 
Luke 17:6 (NKJV)
So the Lord said, "If you have faith as a mustard seed, you can say to this mulberry tree, 'Be pulled up by the roots and be planted in the sea,' and it would obey you.
 
The Right Faith
 
We don’t need more faith; we need a deeper understanding of what faith in God can accomplish.
 
Read Luke 17:7–10 (NKJV)
 
It’s Not Always About You.
 
Jesus is the central figure in all human history, in all of creation.
 
Acts 20:22–23 (NLT)
And now I am bound by the Spirit to go to Jerusalem. I don't know what awaits me, except that the Holy Spirit tells me in city after city that jail and suffering lie ahead.
 
Acts 20:24 (NLT)
But my life is worth nothing to me unless I use it for finishing the work assigned me by the Lord Jesus—the work of telling others the Good News about the wonderful grace of God.
 
Matthew 6:3–5 (NLT)
When you give to someone in need, don't let your left hand know what your right hand is doing. Give your gifts in private, and your Father, who sees everything, will reward you. When you pray, don't be like the hypocrites who love to pray publicly on street corners and in the synagogues where everyone can see them. I tell you the truth, that is all the reward they will ever get.
 
When we obey God, it’s liberating, it’s freedom, and it’s revolutionary.
