2. “The truest measure of a life is not it’s
length, but the fullness in which it is
lived.”
- Maria Housden

4. • The temptation to not go all out
• The temptation to live for ourselves
• The temptation to take life into our own hands

5. • Disoriented as we walk the terrains
• We end up become earth-bound, forgetting
life doesn’t depend on us alone
• The fire becomes extinguished, God gets
put in His little place (can’t trace His hand)

6. • A burning stick snatched from d’ fire ~ John
• A stumbling & a haunting ~ minister,
missionary, failure, haunted by his sin
• Strangely warmed ~ a morning promise, an
evening discovery, a lifetime passion!

7. Luke 24:13-35

8. versus 13-27
•Chewing on it ~ (arguing, questioning)
•Confessing d’ truth & living it ~ giving voice to
their reality
•Company with d’ Divine ~ giving space for the
stranger to chronicle life for them

9. versus 28 - 32
•Transforming journey : hopeless to hope-filled
•Transforming discipleship : clueless to dawning
understanding
•Transforming friendship : guest to host

10. versus 33-35
•Changing their journey’s direction
•Finding new fuel for d’future
•Finding His presence among them

12. • Each our own colorful lives
• Courageous daring to tell the truth & live it
• Allowing d’ Divine Presence to disciple us

13. • Going thro our own wilderness experiences
• Refusing to divert our course
• Confessions & conversations with God

14. • Never living half-heartedly ~ meaningless
• Recognizing God’s imprints ~ points to our
next calling
• His continued Presence ~ which never lets go
