Henry Williams

Here's last weekend's sermon in 10 tweets from our Journey to Easter series.

1/ To be smart with your money, you have to settle the ownership issue.

2/ What did the manager do that was so shrewd? He made new friends by what he did with the master’s money!

3/ God says, “There will be people in heaven who will welcome you into your eternal dwellings because of your investments with MY money.”

4/ To be smart with your money, you have to settle the treasure issue.

5/ Crazy not to invest in forever friends unless you don’t value what and who Jesus values.

6/ Who do you really treasure?

7/ Who does Jesus treasure? “For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost.” (Luke 19:10)

8/ If the future of Christ’s mission depended on your level of investment in the kingdom…

9/ Admit…Ask…Act…

10/ Nouh: “The book said these men let themselves be speared to death, even though they had guns and could have killed their attackers!"

Here's last weekend's sermon in 10 tweets from our Journey to Easter series.

1/ The Bible expert looks like the ignorant student so he asks, "Who is my neighbor?," in order to justify himself.

2/ Jesus' parable pulls the Bible expert in again and reframes the question/issue.

3/ There's more to this than 'go and take care of people in need.' Clue: Look at the characters in the story.

4/ Jesus never answers the question.

5/ Jesus is counting on the crowd thinking, 'Why would a Samaritan help a Jew? They hate us."

6/ If a Samaritan were to do this, they know it would be a pure act of grace. Under no obligation.

7/ Everyone in the crowd would identify with the guy on the side of the road.

8/ Jesus is counting on the crowd asking themselves, "How would I feel about it if a Samaritan helped me?"

9/ Go and do likewise: Go and help even your enemy. Don't narrow down who you are to help.

10/ This story contains the dynamics of the gospel--What the Samaritan does for his enemy is what God does for us.
