sunday’s scuds (april 18, 2010)

Sunday was part three of the three-part series, Collide. In this series we’ve been looking at who Jesus is. Easter weekend we learned that He’s the perfect Lamb who God provided to take away the sin of the whole world. Last week we learned that Jesus is the Shepherd who provides and protects us. Sunday we learned about Jesus as the Carpenter. And just let me say, if you missed it, make sure you watch or listen online (or pick up a CD at the bookstore) because this message was off the chain!

Here are a few of the scuds Dwight fired:

  • You’re going to collide with the truth today. You can either embrace it or reject it—but it has the potential to change your life.
  • Jesus knows, understands, and feels everything you go through.
  • Propitiation. I’ve worked on that word all week long to be able to pronounce it correctly.
  • Jesus made propitiation for our sins. In other words He satisfied God’s wrath and justice on your account.
  • You’ve probably already been tempted today and it’s not even noon yet.
  • No temptation is overpowering.
  • You are never a “victim” of temptation.
  • The devil doesn’t make you do it—you choose to do it.
  • It’s possible not to sin.
  • While it’s possible not to sin, it’s probable that I will.
  • Life is a series of tests. And God wants to know: Are you trustworthy?
  • Religious people can’t get real with God. Only people who are in relationship with him can do that.
  • Jesus was a workin’ man.
  • It should never be said of a Christ-follower: “He’s lazy.”
  • Jesus understands the tension you feel between pleasing God and trying to please your family.
  • Jesus understands what it’s like to be cheated on because the Church cheats on Him all the time.

Again, if you missed this one, don’t cheat yourself! Make sure you watch online or get a CD. I promise it will rock your world.

Next week: a brand new series: The Marriage Experts.
