Killers 1 – Find The Killer
Killers 1 – Find the Killer
Look out behind you! Sure there was nothing behind you… but what would you have done if there was a killer behind you? A killer is a person or thing that takes life. Jesus warns us about a thief that has come to steal, kill, and destroy. According to Jesus, the question is not “is there a killer?” the question is “Where is the Killer?” The great news is Jesus gave us a perfect way to find the killer, and at the same time protect us from their evil intention.
Welcome to Redemption Church in beautiful Plano Tx. My name is Chris Fluitt and I am the Lead Pastor here. I greet you all in the room and those watching online.
We are kicking off a new spooky sermon series today entitled “Killers.”
Killer – A person or thing that takes life
Killers exist. It is a fact of life that there are things and people who kill.
Think of a famous killer…
What would you do if a killer was after you?
Jesus alerts us of an enemy whose only aim is to steal, KILL, and destroy.
The scariest part of a scary movie is when the audience sees the killer, but the would-be victim is unaware of the danger. There is danger in this world we are unaware of… Like our intro video showed… That was a 1996 Super Bowl commercial that spoofs a very suspenseful movie scene from a movie called “when a stranger calls.” It is a silly commercial but a haunting thought of what would you do if the killer was already inside the house.
Right from the start, I want us to not ask “Is there a killer present?”, but instead, ask “Where is the killer.”
Where is the killer?
Somewhere in your life, there is a killer lurking.
Think of a famous killer. Who came to mind? You might have thought of a movie character… a mass murder, an assassin, or serial killer… Not all killers are people.
Here are the world’s greatest killers every year according to science.
*
Around 2 million are killed on the road in careless often avoidable accidents.
*
Another 2 million have their life taken by diabetes. A large percentage could have avoided this killer by better eating habits.
*
2 million are killed each year from lung cancers brought on by cigarettes.
*
3 million are killed from COPD, Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease each year.
*
Nearly 6 million are killed by a stroke.
*
9 million die at the hands of a killer called heart disease.
Raise your hands if when I asked for you to think of a famous killer you thought of any of the killers I just mentioned.
We are the character in the scary movie that is unaware of the killer.
There are killers around us, and we are so unaware.
The question is not “is a killer present.” The question is “Where is the Killer?”
Where is the killer?
I invite you to this series to “Find the Killer.”
Find the Killer
We need to locate what is taking our life.
It wants to kill you, your marriage, your children, finances, health, spirit, and future.
John 10:10 (NIV2011) The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy…
Who is the thief?
The thief comes to steal, kill, and destroy. Who is the thief?
Raise your hand if you are thinking of the devil, Satan. There have been many a sermon preached using this verse to talk about the devil.
