That's What It's All About Today we conclude our Hokey Pokey Clinic series with a powerful and perhaps startling look at what it means to live for Jesus.

It is time to decide to put your whole self in That's What It's All About Hokey Pokey Clinic - Session 5 Matthew 26:14-16 Is It About What You Expect? (v.14-15) Is It About What HE Expects?

Exodus 4:2-3, Potential, Potential Unleashed, transformation Summary: Transformation is a continuous process where you are changing from the inside out. It means that each day your choices, decisions, and lifestyle are moments you give your all to Jesus, your best “and then some.” This is the moment when life becomes joyful at a level we have never known before. There are two interesting verses in scripture that begin with the word “whatever”… these whatever verses become our launching point for an amazing conversation.

Hebrews 11:7, How to Shake, Noah, Shake in Real Time Summary: Living life to the fullest is something that most people say they are interested in. Yet this idea of living large is really more of an idea to most than a reality. Is there risk? Sure, but the end result makes the risk worthwhile. This is an often missed moment in the hokey pokey experience…but when you see it, when you understand the problems you face, then you are on the road to living it. In the obedience of Noah we discover what it means to be a real mover and shaker.

1 Kings 19:19-21, Doing Something, Going In, Hokey Pokey Summary: What does it mean to live ‘all in?’ Many people fool themselves into thinking they are following Jesus when in reality they really want Jesus to follow them.
