Here’s my sermon from last weekend in 10 tweets: “My God, My God, Why?” (Hebrews 2:11-12; Psalm 22)

1// "Is the snack going to be different this week in church?"

2// Jesus is a fellow worshiper (he shows us the way)

3// Worship is "intimacy with the Infinite." Father, Son and Holy Spirit experienced it for eternity past.

4// When Jesus worshiped in the synagogue and temple, he wasn't faking it.

5// Dads and moms, what do your kids learn about worship when they watch you worship?

6// Jesus is our worship leader (he leads the way) - represents God to us and our praises to God (Heb 2:11-12)

7// Jesus is a worshiper who gets it right (he clears the way for us) - we got in because our friends did it right...

8// "We won the armed forces championship with me at second base." As an afterthought: "Ted Williams played center field."

9// Globo: "When God hears our singing, he hears the voice of his Son mingled with ours."

10// Psalm 22..."My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?"..."I will declare your name...and sing..." Matt 26..."they sang a hymn and went out"

Here's my sermon from last weekend in 10 tweets: “Holy, Holy, Holy” (Isaiah 6)

1// “I’m just afraid I can’t be the mother this situation may call me to be. It’s overwhelming.”

2// Isaiah’s overwhelming assignment: Preach without fruit until everyone and everything is destroyed.

3// Without the vision of God’s holiness, Isaiah would likely have been too overwhelmed to accept his assignment.

4// When your assignment is overwhelming, you need a reminder of God’s sovereignty He’s still on his throne & in control.

5// You need a vision of God’s beauty. The angelic beings are fascinated with God. They can’t get enough of him.

6// Dimming the light on your iPhone to preserve the battery is like asking your wife not to smile to preserve her face.

7// When we see God, our fascination will never fade as it does with things that fascinate us here.

8// We need an assurance of his presence. Deeper love comes from a deeper appreciation that I can be in the presence of a holy God.

9// Your overwhelming assignment doesn’t mean God is angry at you or has abandoned you.

10// Millions have responded to Isaiah’s preaching about a divine Savior who will carry our sorrows & bear our sins.
