SUNDAY SNAPSHOT (AHA - 2)

We’ve all had AHA Moments in our lives… times when a Sudden Revelation surprises us with Great Insight! Through Scripture we can find that there are Three Key Ingredients that go into a Spiritual AHA Moment

  1. AWAKENING… to the reality of our True Spiritual Condition!
  2. HONESTY… that leads us to the Realization of our Desperate Need for a Savior!
  3. ACTION… which leads us towards Obeying God’s Commands and following the Examples set by Christ!

 

We’re praying here at COC that YOU can have a Spiritual AHA Moment in your future… Don’t Miss the 2nd Week of our Current Series this week at COCAHA! (Only One Service – 9a)

 

 

Sunday Snapshot… (Wk2) Brutal Honesty

 

A BRUTALLY HONEST Moment happens when NO ONE ELSE IS AROUND… and you TELL YOURSELF the TRUTH about YOURSELF!

 

CONVICTION must always lead to CONFESSION or Spiritual AHA won't happen! (Because…) There's a Big Difference between REGRET and REPENTANCE!

 

DENIAL is nothing more than PRETENDING that EVERYTHING is OKAY… even though EVERYTHING is NOT OKAY!

 

PROJECTION is actually ADMITTING the REALITY but refusing to OWN IT… so you BLAME SOMEBODY ELSE!

 

MINIMIZATION is acknowledging the REALITY of the situation… even OWNING RESPONSIBILITY for it… but DENYING ITS SERIOUSNESS!

 

SIN will always TAKE you FARTHER than you want to GOCOST you MORE than you want to PAY… and KEEP you LONGER than you want to STAY!

 

 

See You Sunday Celebrators… (9A / 10:45A)

Sunday Snapshot… (Wk1) Sudden Awakening

 

AHA... A Sudden Recognition...That Leads To An Honest Moment... That Brings Lasting Change!

 

COMING TO YOU SENSES... The effectiveness of an ALARM is in direct correlation to HOW MUCH YOU DON'T WANT TO HEAR IT! (Wake Up!)

 

Desperate Moments come in either Difficult Circumstances or Deserved Circumstances! Each one will cause you to either CRY OUT TO GOD or MOVE FARTHER AWAY FROM HIM! (Which one are you choosing?)

 

DESPERATION REVEALS DEPENDENCE!

-Even in his Rebellion the Prodigal Son was Dependent on His Father!

 

How DESPERATE does your situation have to get before you realize your DEPENDENCE?

 

Startling Realizations are often discovered in SILENCE and SOLITUDE! You may find that God has been trying to get your attention but you can't hear Him... NOT because HE HASN'T BEEN LOUD ENOUGH... BUT because YOU HAVEN'T BEEN QUIET ENOUGH!
