SUNDAY SNAPSHOT (My Family Circus - 4)
CELEBRATORS…
FAMILY… We all have one… and many of us want a better one! While some of us loved our 'growing up' years… others of us couldn't wait to move out and start fresh! Either way… there’s something inside us all that would love to have THE PERFECT CIRCUS… when it comes to our FAMILY! The problem is… there’s REAL… then there’s IDEAL… then there’s a BIG GAP IN BETWEEN! A TENSION that we all must come to terms with and push through if we ever want to keep moving towards the STANDARD that Jesus gave to us which defines A PERFECT CIRCUS! I hope you’ll do whatever it takes to continue joining us for this Series… MY FAMILY CIRCUS! We’ll be continually discovering what Jesus thinks is the IDEAL WAY to survive a FAMILY full of Lions… Clowns… and Bearded-Ladies!
Below is a sneak-peek for THIS Week… (4) Memories That Last A Lifetime
You were created to CARE for others… especially those who have HURT you!
According to Jesus… CARING for others who have deeply HURT you is a LOSING BATTLE WORTH FIGHTING!
In DYING for US… Christ did something for YOU - UNCOMFORTABLE for HIM!
He now requires YOU to do something UNCOMFORTABLE for YOU!
Through Christ... God Removed Every Obstacle to RECONCILE with US... Except US!
WE Take the Next Step!
God Set the Table… Opened the Door and Sent Out an Invitation for US to COME IN!
The only thing left to happen is for US to say YES!
The only OBSTACLE to YOU being RECONCILED to GOD... is YOU!
You can be RECONCILED to GOD... IN SPITE of YOUR SIN!
BUT… You can’t be RECONCILED to ME... BECAUSE of YOUR SIN!
(Go and MAKE RIGHT what might be WRONG!)
See You Sunday Celebrators… (9a / 10:45a)
