Finding Your Tribe - Bianca Steffen


Php 2:1 MSG  If you've gotten anything at all out of following Christ, if his love has made any difference in your life, if being in a community of the Spirit means anything to you, if you have a heart, if you care--
Php 2:2  then do me a favor: Agree with each other, love each other, be deep-spirited friends.
Php 2:3  Don't push your way to the front; don't sweet-talk your way to the top. Put yourself aside, and help others get ahead.
Php 2:4  Don't be obsessed with getting your own advantage. Forget yourselves long enough to lend a helping hand.
Php 2:5  Think of yourselves the way Christ Jesus thought of himself.
Php 2:6  He had equal status with God but didn't think so much of himself that he had to cling to the advantages of that status no matter what.
Php 2:7  Not at all. When the time came, he set aside the privileges of deity and took on the status of a slave, became human!

Daar is so voorbeeld in skrif van Dawid & Jonathan

1Sa 18:1  By the time David had finished reporting to Saul, Jonathan was deeply impressed with David--an immediate bond was forged between them. He became totally committed to David. From that point on he would be David's number-one advocate and friend.
1Sa 18:2  Saul received David into his own household that day, no more to return to the home of his father.
1Sa 18:3  Jonathan, out of his deep love for David, made a covenant with him.
1Sa 18:4  He formalized it with solemn gifts: his own royal robe and weapons--armor, sword, bow, and belt.
1Sa 18:5  Whatever Saul gave David to do, he did it--and did it well. So well that Saul put him in charge of his military operations. Everybody, both the people in general and Saul's servants, approved of and admired David's leadership.

Wat is ‘n covenant?
Hebreeuse woord ‘berith’
"an unchangeable, divinely imposed legal agreement between God and man that stipulates the conditions of their relationship."[5]
Ons staan saam teen die hele wêreld
Wat myne is, is nou ook joune
Volke in OT
God & Abraham
Jesus bring nuwe verbond tussen ons en hom
Huwelik nog so vb

VOORBEELDE:
Jonathan & sy wapendraer, David & sy mighty men, Mephiboseth, Salomo & sy alliances
1Sa 14:7  His armor bearer said, "Go ahead. Do what you think best. I'm with you all the way."
Together we do the impossible
Regoor die wereld wil die Here Dawid’s en Jonathans se harte aan mekaar vleg vir Sy koninkryk


Hy wil he jy moet deel van ‘n TRIBE wees
Israel was in 12 stamme verdeel wat hul eie kultuur, purpose en rol gehad het
Selfs Jesus het ‘n TRIBE gehad, 12 manne saam wie Hy geleef het, die effek daarvan is ‘n hele wereld wat verander het.
Hy stuur dissipels 2-2 uit
We do crazy things together

When you find people who not only tolerate your quirks, but celebrate them with glad cries of ‘Me too’, be sure to cherish them.  Because those weirdo’s are your tribe.

STORY OF EDMUND HILLARY & TENZING NORGAY WHO CLIMBED EVEREST

Mount Everest –
=8848m bo seespieël
=Ongeveer 240 mense het al gesterf in ‘n poging om berg uit te klim
=Suurstof tenk nodig om te klim
=Op 8000m praat hul van die Death Zone, lewensnoodsaaklike funksies ophou of weens uitputting, koma, dood

Span -
=1953 1e mense om die top van Mt. Everest te bereik.
=Daar was omtrent 400 mense betrokke – 360 porters – 20 guides
=Ekspedisie was ‘n team effort
=Tenzing het 6 vorige ekspedisies as ervaring gehad, Hillary bevriend hom.
=Luister na onderhoude van Hillary was ‘n loner, maar het teamwork ontdek.
=Norgay se Hillary het 1e toppunt bereik al het hy gese hulle het dit saam bereik.
=Net foto van Norgay – nog nooit met kamera gewerk – Hillary geweier dat Norgay foto van sy mees befaamde oomblik neem - geen selfies.
=Watter hoogtes ons in koninkryk kan bereik as ons nie omgee wie die krediet kry nie.
=Na hulle het ongeveer 4 000 ander hikers dit gemaak
=Beide Hillary se seun en Tenzing se seun het dit ook gedoen
=Tom Bourdillan & Charles Evans het 2 dae vantevore 100m van piek gestop, omdat hulle die roete uitgefigure het en die baanbrekers werk gedoen het, het dit Hillary & Tenzing in staat gestel om vooruit te kon gaan.

Hoe bou ek ‘n TRIBE?
Outlove – ongeag hoe iemand anders optree/ iewers begin/ intensioneel my lewe share YA - KG
Outgive – wat is my gawes en my resources?
Outserve – aan watter cause gaan ek my tyd spandeer?

Php 1:9  So this is my prayer: that your love will flourish and that you will not only love much but well. Learn to love appropriately. You need to use your head and test your feelings
Php 1:10  so that your love is sincere and intelligent, not sentimental gush. Live a lover's life, circumspect and exemplary, a life Jesus will be proud of:
