Don't Call It A Comeback: Flip The Script

FLIPPING THE SCRIPT SUNDAY, JUNE 28, 2020 If we follow the script we hear through the media and various cultural lenses, we will miss the power and promise of the Kingdom. John 12:49-50 In Matthew 5,6, and 7 we find the Sermon on the Mount; a message that would push people towards a relationship rather than religion.  Over and over Jesus said, “You have heard it said... but I say...” Jesus FLIPPED THE SCRIPT on: Money: From minimal giving to abundant, joyful giving. Justice: Not an eye...

Don't Call It A Comeback: When God Gets You In A Jam

DON’T CALL IT A COMEBACK: WHEN GOD GETS YOU IN A JAM Sunday, June 14, 2020 Sometimes God gets us out of a jam we got ourselves into. There are other times God gets you in a jam so He can show Himself mighty and reveal His Glory. Exodus 14:1-4 God positions Israel between two mountains, with the Red Sea in front of them. God was about to use an impossible situation to reveal His glory! Israel “wandering in wilderness” was not wandering at all. God was making them warriors, culling the he...
