10 Tweets on “The Holy Spirit & the Story of God” (1 Corinthians 2:10-16)

Here's the sermon in 10 Tweets in our The Letter to the Corinthians series.

1/ We all live in a story.

2/ We can’t know the better story—the story of God—or really understand it or live in it well aside from the work of the Holy Spirit.

3/ The Holy Spirit reveals the story of God—the gospel.

4/ “The gospel is the message that God himself has come to rescue and renew creation in and through the work of Jesus Christ on our behalf.”

5/ The Spirit knows God’s thoughts, so he can communicate God’s plan. He intimately knows the story that is unfolding. 

6/ The Holy Spirit helps us understand the story of God.

7/ He guides you into the story and through it so that you own it and believe it and want to live by it. 

8/ The Holy Spirit helps us live within the unfolding story of God.

9/ We have the mind of Christ—access to Christ’s thoughts, his intentions, his plans for the world and for each one of us.

10/ We resist the better story. And this doesn’t happen simply because it’s hard to believe it’s true but because it’s hard to live the truth.

10 Tweets on “The Relationship is Everything” (Deuteronomy 6:5-7)

Here’s last weekend’s sermon in 10 tweets in the To Raise A Family series:

1/ In passing on our faith, the relationship is everything. 

2/ God doesn’t want the next generation in our church to simply get into heaven. 

3/ Shooting for heaven is too short-sighted.  

4/ God wants the next gen to love him and be on mission for him now and for the rest of their lives. 

5/ If you love Jesus, then the strength of your relationship with your kids will be the greatest determining factor in your spiritual legacy. 

6/ Take advantage of the moments of connection that naturally happen. 

7/ Integrating life means that you are you. 

8/ Being who you are creates vulnerability that naturally creates connection. 

9/ We teach our children how to parent by parenting and we teach family by doing family together. 

10/ Jesus leverages the rhythms of our lives as points of connection to his story and as opportunities for a deeper relationship with Him.
