SCRIPTURE:

Mark 9:33-35, Matt. 19:27; 26:6-16; 27:3-5

There is a big difference between using Jesus and following Jesus.

Judas learned that you can't force God's hand and you can't thwart God's will.

1. When you say, "No" to Jesus, You are responsible for the outcome of the journey.

What area's have you done this in your life?

2. When you say, "No" to Jesus, you will move in the direction of destructive relationships and a destructive lifestyle.

Have you experienced this? If so, how and when?

3. When you say, "Yes" to Jesus, He will take full responsibility for the outcome of your journey.

How have you seen this happen in your life?

Is there an area of your life that is competing with what God wants? What is it?

What is God asking you to do based on what you heard this morning?
