CHALLENGE 1- Jesus will challenge your priorities.

> Si Hesus mohagit sa inyong mga prayoridad <

Bible Examples:

something better – eternal life. mas maayo pa nga mao ang kinabuhing dayon.

The issue wasn’t the young man’s Ang Isyu wala sa iyang kabtangan; kung dili ang

was following what everyone around him ang matarong kay iya man gituman ang

thought he should do. He had followed gisulti sa mga tawo. Gituman niya ang balaod,

the law, had become a great lawyer and a ug nahimong batantugang Abogado ug

powerful man. But Paul had not bent his gamhanang tawo. Pero ang kasing-kasing ug

heart and mind to the Truth of Who Jesus Is. Ang huna-huna ni Pablo wala makahibawo

And when Paul did that, the result was kung si Kinsa si Hesus. Ug sa dihang nakahibaw

Paul wrote the majority of the New Testament. siya, ang resulta, si Pablo ang nagsulat

sa kadaghanan sa Bag-ong Kasabutan.

Jesus is asking you to GIVE UP many THINGS of the world…

so that you can match your PRIORITIES with His.

Si Hesus naghangyo kanimo sa pag salikway sa mga butang nga kalibutanon nga anaa kanimo…

aron mahisama ang imong prayoridad sama kang Hesus.

What are 3 worldly priorities Jesus is asking you to GIVE UP today?

Unsa man ang 3 ka mga kalibutanong prayoridad nga gihangyo ni Hesus nga isalikway ninyo karung adlawa?

1-_________________________________________________

2-_________________________________________________

3-_________________________________________________

OFTEN Jesus asks us to GIVE UP our PRE-JUDGMENTS of ourselves and of Jesus’s ability to keep His promises.

Kasagarang buhaton kini ni Hesus sa pag hangyo kanato sa pagsalikway sa atong mga pagpanghusgar sa atong kaugalingon ug sa abilidad sa Ginoo sa pagtuman sa Iyang mga saad.

What are 3 false beliefs about ourselves or Jesus that Jesus is asking you to GIVE UP today?

WAYPOINT 2- Jesus will challenge your FAITH.

> Si Hesus mag hagit sa imong pagtuo. <

Jesus asks you to do the impossible…or what you think is ‘impossible’.

Si Hesus nag hangyo kanimo sa pagbuhat ug butang nga sa imong pagtuo

dili mahitabo o impossible.

Mathew 10: (NIV) Cebuano Bible (htmlbible.com)

5 These twelve Jesus sent out with the 5 Ug kining Napulog-Duha gipalakaw ni Jesus tapus

following instructions: gitugon Niya sila:, "Pangadto kamo dili

“Do not go among the Gentiles or enter any sa agianan sa mga Gentil, ug sulod kamo dili sa

town of the Samaritans. kalungsuran sa mga Samarianhon,

6 Go rather to the lost sheep of Israel. 6 kondili pangadto hinoon kamo sa mga nangawalang

karnero sa banay ni Israel.

7 As you go, proclaim this message: 7 Ug samtang magapanglakaw kamo, pagwali kamo

‘The kingdom of heaven has come near.’ nga magaingon, `Ang gingharian sa langit haduol na.`

8 Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse those 8 Ayoha ninyo ang mga masakiton, banhawa ninyo ang

who have leprosy, drive out demons. mga patay, hinloi ninyo ang mga sanlahon, pagulaa

Freely you have received; freely give. ninyo ang mga yawa. Nakadawat kamo nga walay

bayad, busa panghatag kamo nga walay bayad.

9 “Do not get any gold or silver or copper to 9 Ayaw kamo pagbalon ug bulawan, o salapi, o

take with you in your belts — tumbaga diha sa inyong mga bulsa sa bakus,

10 no bag for the journey or extra shirt or 10 o puyo alang sa inyong panaw, o duha ka kamisola,

sandals or a staff, o mga sapin, o sungkod; kay ang mamumoo takus sa

for the worker is worth his keep. iyang pagakan-on.

Can you see the worldly ‘strong’ Apostles saying “What?!?!? Don’t take money? Don’t take a staff to protect myself with? You gotta be kidding, right?

. Inyo bang makita ang mga Apostoles nga nag sulti,”Unsa?!!?!!”

“Dili pwede modawat ug kwarta?”

“Dili pwede modawat bisan sungkod para protektahan ang

akong kaugalingon?”

“Imo ra seguro kong gibinuangan, diba?”

FOOT HOLD:

TRUE FAITH = TRUE WORSHIP = doing what Jesus wants

me to do.

TRUE FAITH = TRUE WORSHIP = NOT doing what Jesus tells me

NOT to do.

TUMBANAN:

MATUOD NGA PAGTUO = MATUOD NGA PAGSIMBA = PAGBUHAT sa kabubut-on ni Hesus

MATUOD NGA PAGTUO = MATUOD NGA PAGSIMBA = DILI PAGBUHAT sa butang nga

dili ipabuhat ni Hesus.

FIDELITY POINT: How do you know when Jesus is the one telling you to do something?

EITHER

It is ‘WORD for WORD’ from The Bible,

- AND - it applies directly to you and your situation.

OR It is a direct Biblical Principle presented by one of the

Apostles or Writers of the New Testament.

Punto sa Kaangayan: Giunsa nimo pagkahibaw nga si Hesus mismo ang nagsulti kanimo sa pagbuhat ug usa ka butang?

EITHER

“Pulong sa Pulong” gikan sa Bibliya

-Ug- derikta kining nga applikar kanimo ug sa imong sistwasyon.

O dili ba kaha

Usa kini ka Prinsipyo sa Bibliya nga Direktang gi presentar sa usa sa mga Apostoles o mga Manunulat sa Bag-ong Kasabutan.

CHALLENGE 2- Jesus will challenge your FAITH.

> Si Hesus mohagit sa imong pagtuo. <

HOW TO I FIGURE THAT OUT?

nimong buhaton?

WAYPOINT 3- Jesus will challenge our small thinking….Often through KEY relationships

> Si Hesus mag hagit sa atong mabaw nga huna-huna…

kasagaran pinaagi sa Yawe sa relasyon <

FOOT HOLD: When Jesus gave the Great Commission, “Go into all the world and preach the Gospel”, it was physically impossible to complete. But Jesus used the Great Commission to expand the VISION of his disciple’s, to move their limited thinking outward…not only on Jews but toward the whole world…in order to get them started planting churches across the world.

TUMBANAN: Sa dihang naghatag si Hesus sa Dako nga Komisyon, “ Lakaw kamo sa tibuok kalibutan ug isangyaw kining Maayong Balita “ impossible kini nga makompleto. Pero si gigamit ni Hesus kining Dako nga Komisyon sa pagpalambo sa Panan-awon sa Iyang mga Disipolo, sa pag palambo sa ilang hhamabaw nga panghuna-huna.. dili ngadto sa mga hudio ug sa tibuok kalibutan.. kung dili sa pag andam kanila sa pagtanum ug mga Simbahan ngadto sa inila nga kalibutan.

IF you were to follow Jesus in these things covered so far, what COULD you do?

Ug kung ikaw mosunud ni Hesus aning mga butanga, unsa man angayan nimong buhaton?

CHALLENGE 3 What are ways Jesus is challenging Your SMALL THINKING to grow DEEPER in YOUR relationship with HIM?...

Unsa man ang mga paagi nga si Hesus nag hagit sa Imong mabaw nga panghuna-huna para mulambo ang Imong relasyon ngadto Niya

Think: Think about each primary relationship you have (family & church). Everyone in your life is there for a reason. No one is there by accident. Jesus put them in your life for you to learn more about God because they are there.

Huna Huna. Huna-hunaa ang mga relasyon nimo nga nag-una. ( pamilya, Simbahan). Silang tanan anaa sa imong kinabuhi, anaa’y rason. Dili aksidente ang pag abot nila sa Imong kinabuhi. Ang Ginoo nagbutang kanila sa imong kinabuhi aron ka makat-on pag maayo bahin sa Ginoo, tungod kay anaa sila sa Imong kinabuhi.

Pray: Ask Jesus for insight into those relationships. Jesus knows why He put them in your life. He knows what you need to learn to reach His purpose for YOU. Ask Him to help you see, observe, perceive or hear Jesus’s reasons in that relationship.

Pag-ampo. Pangayo sa Ginoo ug tamdanan para niadtong mga relasyon nga anaa kanimo. Ang Ginoo nakahibaw sa kinahanglan nimong pagatun-an aron makab-ot ang Iyang rason para nimo.

Ask: Ask, “Where do I see lessons in those I love?”

“What challenges are people I love causing for me today?”

Family Church World

Pangutana: Pangutana, “ Asa ako makakita ug pagtulun-an diha sa akong mga gihigugma?“ Unsa man ang mga hagit sa mga tawo nga akong gihigugma kanako?

Pamilia Simbahan kalibutan

Suggest: Be sincere. Suggest to these persons that the reason Jesus placed them in your life is “for God to teach ME something”. Get involved with those people in a project or activity that stretches and helps them and you develop Jesus’s strength in their lives.

Suggest. Pagkamatinud-anon. Sultii kining sila nga ang rason nganong gibuatang sila sa Ginoo sa imong kinabuhi mao “ aron matudlu-an ako sa Ginoo” pag pakig-uban kanila sa mga kalihukan nga makatabang kanila ug ikaw makapalambo sa diosnong kusog sa ilang kinabuhi.

In what are 3 RELATIONSHIPS and/or Situations is Jesus challenging your SMALL THINKING?

WAYPOINT 4- Jesus DIRECTLY challenges your “SELFISH” thinking…are you “self” centered” or “other” centered?

Si Hesus derikta nga muhagit sa imong “pagpaninguha alang sa kaugalingon” panghuna-huna.. “imo ra ba nga kaugalingon ang imong gihuna-huna” o “mag huna-huna ka sa uban?”

FOOT HOLD: “My first concern when it comes to others is their relationship with Jesus Christ. I want my life to be a clear lens so that when people watch me, see me, or hear me, they are lead toward Jesus Christ, nothing else.”

Tumbanan: Ang akong unang kabalaka mahitungod sa uban mao ang ilang relasyon ngadto ni Kristo Hesus.Gusto nako nga ang akong kinabuhi mamahimong salamin, aron kung ang mga tawo mutan-aw kanako o maminaw kanako, Madala sila ngadto ni Kristo Hesus, ug wala na’y lain..

In What RELATIONSHIPS is Jesus challenging you in today?

> Unsa nga relasyon nga gihagit ni Hesus kanimo karun? <

-- Tan-awa ang hagit 3, page 9 para sa bisaya --

Think. Think about who YOU need to CHALLENGE. Everyone in your life is there for a reason. No one is there by accident. Jesus put them in your life for you to love them…for you to lead them to be closer and closer to Jesus and challenge them in His cause.

Pray. Ask Jesus for insight into those you love. Jesus knows how and why He put them together. He knows how they need to be challenged to reach His purpose for them. Ask Him to help you know what strength, talent or ability is in them that you can help to bring to the forefront.

Ask. Ask, “Where do I see potential in those I love?”

What challenges are people I love facing today?” Family…. Church

(These should be what you are praying about, and working toward in these persons lives)

Suggest. Be sincere. Suggest to these persons that the reason Jesus placed them in your life is for them to teach you something. Suggest that the reverse is also true. Get involved with those people in a project that stretches and helps them and you develop a strength (and God’s strength) in their lives

Involve those you’re challenging in a project that stretches them and helps them develop a strength in their lives.

In what 3 RELATIONSHIPS is Jesus CHALLENGING your SELFISH THINKING?

WAYPOINT 5- YOUR DESITINATION… How to Worship God

…by Fulfilling Your Roles 

Imong Padulngan…Unsaon Nimo Pagsimba Ang Ginoo

Pinaagi Sa Pagtuman Sa Imong Gimbuhaton

Jesus wants you to fulfill your roles

Ang Ginoo gusto nga matuman ang imong gimbuhaton

FOOT HOLD: Every strong man or woman in The Bible understood what “Role” Jesus wanted them to fulfill. And Jesus gave them the strength, power, capability and resources to do everything He gave them to do.

We can live a Life of Worship only when we are fulfilling

the “Roles” Jesus has placed us in.

Tumbanan: Matag lalaki ug babae nga lig-on anaa sulod sa Biblia nakasabot, unsa ang

“gimbuhaton” nga gusto sa Ginoo nga ilang pagapuy-an. Ug ang Ginoo naghatag kanilag

kusog, gahum, kapasidad, ug kabtangan aron matuman ang gimbuhaton nga gihatag sa

Ginoo nila. Makapuyo kita ug KINABUHI SA PAGSIMBA kung kita magtuman sa “gimbuhaton”

nga gihatag sa Ginoo kanato.

Bible Example:

David, was a faithful shepherd He Si David usa ka matinud-anon nga magbalantay

obeyed his father and went to the sa karnero, Iyang Gituman ang Iyang Amahan

battlefront with food for his brothers ug Giadto siya sa gubatanan nagdala

…as an obedient “son”. ug pagkaon para sa iyang mga gsooni

David loved God. So when he …isip usa ka matinumanon nga “anak”

heard the Giant cursing God, and Nahigugma si David sa Ginoo Ug sa dihang

saw the soldiers had no courage nabati niya nga Gitunglo sa Higante ang Ginoo,

to fight Goliath. David tried to ug nakita niya ang mga sundalo Wala’y kaisog sa

encourage the soldiers pagpakig away ni Goliath. Gisuwayan ni David

…as a “citizen”. pagdasig ang mga sundalo.. ingon nga “sundalo”.

And the rest of his life David Ug sa tibuok kinabuhi ni David giyuman Niya ang

fulfilled the “Roles” God gave him. Iyang “Gimbuhaton”, gihatag kaniya sa Ginoo.
