Food trucks on Sunday, part 2 of the "To Raise a Family" series, and VBS kids singing! It's going to be a great weekend at Five Oaks.
We're going to talk about how important it is for kids and youth to SEE that a parent's, mentor's, or other influencers relationship with Christ is central to their lives. It's really not enough to take your faith to heart, you have to talk about it.
Here's the sermon in 10 Tweets in our The Letter to the Corinthians series.
1/ Galli: “The handshake conveyed a story—with characters, conflict, and reconciliation.”
2/ Every weekend we experience a “handshake” of sorts. The handshake is the Lord’s Supper. It conveys a story.
3/ Meals that help convey the meaning of the Lord’s Supper. The first is the Garden Meal. That’s the punch in the face.
4/ The Passover Meal, the Last Supper, and the Marriage Supper of the Lamb all help convey the meaning.
5/ The meals fail to tell the whole story. The Garden meal was more than a punch. It unleashed evil. Requires justice.
6/ The story of 5 sacrifices: garden sacrifice, ram, lamb, 2 goats, the Lamb of God.
7/ It conveys the depths of God’s love (substitutionary atonement).
8/ It conveys God is not mad at you (propitiation).
9/ It conveys freedom from guilt (justification) and freedom to live for God (redemption).
10/ It conveys we get to live life not only for God but with God (reconciliation).
