What an absolutely amazing God we have.
We just finished the Lent into Easter season and we had a great sermon series. I am not patting myself on the back. If it were just me, it would have been a disaster of a series. But God was pumping out his Word despite me. Then we turn around and start this Transformation series to really celebrate new life of Easter. I started out really hesitant and looking over it I was sure I made the wrong choice in doing a four week series on Transformation. Today I am again totally convinced that it is a powerful series and again there is no pat on the back for Mark. God is just simply amazing.
I will be introducing some new things this week as a result of my interview with my superintendent yesterday. I am telling a story about a Bible character that I really don’t like, because he takes so much away from my hero. But it is going to be a good story anyway. This and that and another thing just fell into place and wow another great sermon is shaping up for April 18th. You will just have to hear it once it’s posted next week or come and hear it live at Crossroads Celebration Church this Sunday, April 18th, 2010. Then again it just might be me. But if you are open to the work of the Holy Spirit, then some of the most simple things can become amazing when God is at work in your life.
There is obviously more to this story for me. But what about you? Are you allowing the transforming power of Jesus Christ to turn your life around and change? Seek the Word! Don’t hesitate on the transformation. We are so comfortable in our old world and ways that we don’t trust that Christ has something even better for us if we but trust.
I hope that you will find God absolutely amazing.
