Do You Have A That?

All that remains from the tree that started it all is a few logs and some saw dust. Death has prevailed and overtaken life. However, this tree raises another question. With death…was there truly life? Sounds kind of philosophical and we’ll discuss some other time…

Regardless, it’s our prayer for victory. Instead of logs and saw dust…we want buds and flowers. We want life and rebirth. More importantly…Christ wants life and rebirth. So much so that He died for it. He died for you to have it. For Christ said, “The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy.

A curriculum to tackle sin…and specifically a silent sin or perhaps a suffocating sin…a sin that deals with the dirty little secrets of life that the church so often ignores.

- The whole enemy comes to steal, and to kill, and to destroy angle…
- Or…starting fresh and new. There’s still life. It’s time to rebuild.
- The whole acquaintances verses friends. Note the two pots with the same devastation. Be careful who you hang out with…

Sometimes…I think I’m a little goofy. I trust my wife will agree. I look at pots and instantly go to sermon illustrations. Some are a stretch and some are pretty cool. But…God has created each of us with our own uniqueness. Our own imprint from the Creator. Praise God! Until next time. Jed.
