We are in the series “IMAGINE” at BNC and God is changing hearts and MINDS. Why is it so easy for us to love God with all our heart, affectionately, but not submit our will to God moment by moment, mentally? I have been teaching this with an illustration that God has been using tremendously.
It’s a clear box made of plexiglass and glass glue. The cost is minimal and it has riveted the minds of our church as we have discussed how to change our mindset.
I have used
Romans 12:2 “Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.”
2 Cor. 10:5 ““The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds. We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ”
Eph 3:20 “Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us”
(If you would like a complete set of notes, just comment below)
Walking in and writing backwards is the most difficult part, but it has been powerful. If we can help you with this in any way just let me know. Just an idea…I am always looking for a great idea.
If you have an effective tool you have used, share below. I figured if I shared one, I might receive a few!

Shannon, great idea. I’d love the notes if you have ‘em. Series idea around captivity is a thought that jumps from picture. Idea exchange for you: http://www.preachitteachit.org/about-us/the-team/jack-schull/jacks-sermons/
I did a series 1/2 down page (linked) that is Fire and Ice (Elijah) and last sermon was writing all over a piggy-bank the things that hold us captive (idols)…just a thought exchange.
http://www.preachitteachit.org is a place for pastor’s and church leaders.
