Breaking Camp

9-12-13 Levi Lusko
Harvest OC Thursday

Isaiah 38:12 (NIV)
Like a shepherd’s tent my house has been pulled down and taken from me. Like a weaver I have rolled up my life, and he has cut me off from the loom; day and night you made an end of me.

2 Corinthians 5:1 (NIV)
For we know that if the earthly tent we live in is destroyed, we have a building from God, an eternal house in heaven, not built by human hands.

CS Lewis, "you are a soul and you have a body"

Our earthly house gets destroyed.

Old tents are like old bodies. The longer we are in them the more beat up they are.

What goes up must come down.

Hebrews 9:27 (NIV)
Just as people are destined to die once, and after that to face judgment,

Tents are fragile, vulnerable and temporary.

Psalm 39:1-13 (NIV)
“Show me, Lord, my life’s end and the number of my days; let me know how fleeting my life is. [5] You have made my days a mere hand breadth; the span of my years is as nothing before you. Everyone is but a breath, even those who seem secure. [6] “Surely everyone goes around like a mere phantom; in vain they rush about, heaping up wealth without knowing whose it will finally be. [7] “But now, Lord, what do I look for? My hope is in you. [8] Save me from all my transgressions; do not make me the scorn of fools. [9] I was silent; I would not open my mouth, for you are the one who has done this. [10] Remove your scourge from me; I am overcome by the blow of your hand. [11] When you rebuke and discipline anyone for their sin, you consume their wealth like a moth---surely everyone is but a breath. [

1 Thessalonians 4:16 (NIV)
For the Lord himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first.

When you leave the tent you get to go home.

Heaven is "far better"

Psalm 116:15 (NIV)
Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his faithful servants.

Levi's favorite two word phrase in the bible is "Take Heart"- to take is deliberate.


The house has got what the tent does not.
