In The Company of Jesus | Jimmy Rollins - Audio

LUKE 8:1-3 He continued according to plan, traveled to town after town, village after village, preaching God’s
kingdom, spreading the Message. The Twelve were with him. There were also some women in their company
who had been healed of various evil afflictions and illnesses: Mary, the one called Magdalene, from whom
seven demons had gone out; Joanna, wife of Chuza, Herod’s manager; and Susanna—along with many others
who used their considerable means to provide for the company. (MSG)



GOD ALWAYS USES PEOPLE TO FULFILL HIS PLANS
HELP WANTED



MATTHEW 4:18-20   One day as Jesus was walking along the shore of the Sea of Galilee, he saw two
brothers—Simon, also called Peter, and Andrew—throwing a net into the water, for they fished for a
living.  19  Jesus called out to them, “Come, follow me, and I will show you how to fish for people!”  20  And they
left their nets at once and followed him. (NLT)



EPHESIANS 2:10 God does both the making and saving. He creates each of us by Christ Jesus to join him in
the work he does, the good work he has gotten ready for us to do, work we had better be doing. (MSG)



ACTS 13:36 “ Now when David had served God’s purpose in his own generation, he fell asleep; he was buried
with his ancestors and his body decayed. (NIV)



HANDS OPEN



MATTHEW 20:28 For even the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve others and to give his life as a
ransom for many.” (NLT)



MATTHEW 25:34-36   “Then the King will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father,
inherit the Kingdom prepared for you from the creation of the world.  35  For I was hungry, and you fed me. I was
thirsty, and you gave me a drink. I was a stranger, and you invited me into your home.  36  I was naked, and you
gave me clothing. I was sick, and you cared for me. I was in prison, and you visited me.’ (NLT)



MATTHEW 25:40 “And the King will say, ‘I tell you the truth, when you did it to one of the least of these my
brothers and sisters, you were doing it to me!’ (NLT)



WHEN YOU LIVE AN OPEN-HANDED LIFE GOD WILL KEEP YOUR HANDS FULL
HEARTS SOFT



MATTHEW 9:35-38 Then Jesus made a circuit of all the towns and villages. He taught in their meeting places,
reported kingdom news, and healed their diseased bodies, healed their bruised and hurt lives. When he looked
out over the crowds, his heart broke. So confused and aimless they were, like sheep with no shepherd. “What a
huge harvest!” he said to his disciples. “How few workers! On your knees and pray for harvest hands!” (MSG)



IF OUR HEARTS ARE NOT MOVED WITH COMPASSION, OUR HANDS & FEET WILL NOT MOVE TO ACTION



HISTORY ACCEPTED



LUKE 8:1-3 He continued according to plan, traveled to town after town, village after village, preaching God’s
kingdom, spreading the Message. The Twelve were with him. There were also some women in their company
who had been healed of various evil afflictions and illnesses: Mary, the one called Magdalene, from whom
seven demons had gone out; Joanna, wife of Chuza, Herod’s manager; and Susanna—along with many
others who used their considerable means to provide for the company. (MSG)



YOUR PAST WAS ALWAYS A PART OF GOD’S PLAN
