Here’s 10 Tweets from my sermon last weekend in our “Journey to Easter” Series:

1/ When the healing happens, it stops him in his tracks. It looks like it catches him off guard.

2/ He embraces the interruption as a divine appointment.

3/ You can’t hurry God.

4/ Jesus isn’t feeling rushed because he knows he can do something bigger & better than a healing.

5/ Jesus has broader concerns: He wants to restore to wholeness and build faith.

6/ If you have put your faith in Jesus, you have already been promised resurrection by Jesus himself. Will you apply faith while you wait?

7/ Right there, in the very thing you most fear, is an opportunity to grow stronger in faith.

8/ The ministry of Jesus is propelled and empowered by the Holy Spirit.

9/ The Holy Spirit who propelled and empowered Jesus in his ministry is the same Holy Spirit who propels and empowers his followers in ministry.

10/ Beware of your calculations (who is more strategic, etc.). God’s ways are counterintuitive. He uses the weak. He uses the cross.

Here's my sermon from last weekend in 10 tweets.

1/ Dudley: "Maybe the biggest impact I'd ever had on anyone's life was a moment that I didn't even remember." Lollipop moment.

2/ We’re not sure what seeking first the kingdom is, but we’re pretty sure our life doesn’t qualify. So we start to devalue our kingdom work.

3/ Betw/ the 1st & 2nd coming, the kingdom is still small, hidden, slow & unimpressive compared to the awe-inspiring flash of the 2nd coming

4/ In God’s big story, everything we do is small, even when it seems big. But we are not small because were part of his kingdom.

5/ All the small things we do are part of something really big.

6/ Most kingdom work is done in ordinary time by ordinary people doing ordinary things.

7/ Most kingdom impact you have is hidden from view, even your view.

8/ Most kingdom work we do outside of ordinary time is small and hidden from the view of most people.

9/ Once you do big, it feels small.

10/ Find the meaning and the joy in the small things or you will never find meaning and joy.
