The Psyche of those who become. Pastor Dave Morse 14th Sept 2025

https://linktr.ee/yourchurchtasmania BECOME! – The Psyche of Those Who Become Life is a journey, much like white-water kayaking. Sometimes, we go with the flow, but other times, we’re challenged to paddle against the current, to keep moving forward despite obstacles. In life, if we’re not advancing, we’re moving backward. You are becoming today who you will be tomorrow! Hebrews 10:38-39 reminds us that we’re called to live by faith, not shrink back in fear or discouragement. Just as in kayaking, if we stop paddling, we risk being swept backwards. Life is the same, without faith, we risk destruction. Faith is the way we roll. When I first started kayaking at 13, I lacked strength and often ran out of energy, letting the river pull me back. But over time, I learned that to conquer the rapids of life, you must keep paddling forward. Don’t shrink back! When life gets tough or we feel weak, God's grace empowers us to press on (2 Corinthians 12:8-10). Faith isn’t about perfection; it's about moving forward, growing, and trusting God even when we’re weak. We are called to live by faith, to press on, and to become who we were created to be in Christ. The Bible tells us in Hebrews 10:38, "The righteous will live by faith." This truth is echoed throughout Scripture, reminding us that our journey is a faith walk. The Psyche of Those Who Become: Become bold - step out in faith. Become devoted - commit to your calling. Become active - take action. Become engaged - influence others for the Kingdom. Become willing - embrace what God has for you. Become an influencer - change the world around you. Focus on the Future: To move forward in life, we must set our sights on something higher. Like kayaking, the key to not shrinking back is having a clear focus. For us, that focus is Jesus. In Philippians 3:12-14, Paul reminds us to forget the past, focus on the future, and press on toward the prize. Know Who You Have Become: In Christ, you are a new creation (2 Corinthians 5:17). There is no condemnation (Romans 8:1), and you are a son of God (Galatians 3:26). The journey of becoming is about recognising who you are in Christ, stepping into your calling, and living by faith. Know Who You Will Become: God is at work in you, and He will carry His work to completion (Philippians 1:6). You may not be perfect yet, but you’re becoming who He has called you to be. Know Where You Are Now: Paul didn’t claim perfection but focused on the goal (Philippians 3:12). Recognise where you are, remove distractions, and keep pressing forward. Shift Your Focus: Don’t let past failures or distractions hold you back. Focus on what lies ahead. Jesus is your ultimate goal, and as you press forward, you’ll find His strength in your weaknesses (2 Corinthians 12:8-10). Live by Faith: Faith isn’t just a belief, it’s the way we live. Each of us has a unique calling and purpose, but we all live by faith. Hebrews 11 recounts the lives of those who, by faith, overcame obstacles and became who God intended them to be. The Psyche of Those Who Become: We are those who: Live by faith Know our calling (Mark 16:15) Press on toward the goal (Philippians 3:14) Remove distractions and focus on our purpose Step into the future with confidence As we live above the challenges, we become who God created us to be. We’re not called to shrink back but to keep pressing forward. Our journey is about becoming, growing, and influencing the world around us. Next week, we’ll dive into how to overcome the pressure to shrink back.
