Killers 2 – Killer Clowns Foolishness Kills

 

 

Foolishness Kills. A Killer is any person or thing that takes life. Jesus warns us of a thief who has come to do just that. (John 10:10)

Killers are seriously deadly, but not seriously wise.

There is a 1988 “B” movie named “Killer Klowns from Outer Space.” It features gigantic, creepy, gross clowns who descend upon a small town in order to kill people in ridiculous clownish ways. Clowns are foolish, and we sometimes dismiss foolish things as less than serious. But these clowns were also killers.

Satan is like a foolish killer clown who convinces us that he is worth a laugh before he swoops in for the kill. Foolishness is a killer. We need a higher wisdom if we are ever to be saved from this killer clown.

Killers

We are in the 2nd week of our Killers sermon series.

Jesus told us about a thief who steals, kills, and destroys. The thief is anyone who does not enter through the gate… and Jesus says that He is the gate. The thief kills, but Jesus gives life and a full life.

There is a killer present. We need to find the killer.

A Killer is any person or thing that takes life.

Today I want you to consider this truth.

Killers are seriously deadly, but not seriously wise

We are used to movie killers such as Hannibal Lecter who was an evil genius cannibal in the flick “Silence of the Lambs.­” I would tell you that even genius killers with a large intelligence end up being foolish when they play the role of a killer.

Killers are seriously deadly, but not seriously wise. Which brings us to today’s subject.

We take sermon prep very seriously here at Redemption Church. I told our Care Pastor, Marshal Blessing, that I was preaching about Killer Clowns this week and He asked me if I had ever watched the 1998 classic “Killer Klowns from Outer Space.” I said no, so we gathered on Tuesday night to do some serious sermon prep.

What can you say about this movie? The title says it all. Killer Klowns from Outer Space. That is the title and the perfect description of this ridiculous plot.

One night a group of “killer klowns” terrorize a small town. They end up killing people in the dumbest clownish ways. They shoot them with popcorn guns, entomb the bodies in cotton candy cocoons, and put on killer puppet shows. Then, of course, it turns out they have a spaceship… because they are “killer klowns” from outer space. I don’t want to say anymore because “spoilers.”

Being killed is a tragedy, but being killed by a stupid clown is such a stupid tragedy.

In the summer of 2016 there was a cultural phenomenon when killer clowns started appearing across the US. There was a panic over people dressing up as killer clowns. It was scary, creepy, and also pretty dumb. Thank goodness that stopped.

Killer clowns present a unique challenge. Clowns are humorous, funny, & foolish and because of this easily dismissed, yet they are killers. We are often dismissive of the foolish, but maybe we should take it a little more seriously.
