DIVINE DISRUPTION:  Every once in a while, God chooses to rescue us with a divine disruption, a life-changing event that propels us to write a different ending to our story.

THE BENEFIT OF THE DOUBT:  Doubt is a normal part of faith development.  It is OK to doubt.  It is even better after a season of doubt to believe.

NAILED DOWN NO MORE:  Us humans, steeped in sin, want a god we can control, a god we can nail down.  As we nail God down, we only increase the nails that hold us down.  Jesus allowed himself to be nailed down so that we could be set free by his resurrection.  

AT THE FOOT OF THE CROSS:  We’re all equal at the foot of the cross.  We’re equal in sin, equal in responsibility and equal for the possibility of redemption.  The one who was declared guilty declares us “not guilty.”  He does this not because we deserve it but because of who he is.  ~from John 19

JUDGING JESUS: Eventually, we all must make a decision about Jesus.  What will your choice be?  Mythical figure?  Fire insurance?  Boring stories?  Madman? Ignore him? Use him to make yourself look religious and trustworthy?  Lord and Master?  Report for duty?

WHAT IS TRUTH?  In a world of deception, we need some absolute truth.  Jesus claims to be the truth, the true representative of God.  Take comfort in the fact that he declares you saved.  His truth will set you free.

WHEN THE ROOSTER CROWS:  No matter what you have done nor what you are doing needs to determine your future.  You can be forgiven by Jesus and you can forgive yourself and those who have caused you harm.  Jesus, through the Holy Spirit, helps us reinvent ourselves every day.  Your conscience is the tool the Holy Spirit uses to let you know where you need to grow.

RELIEVING BROMODOSIS: Live like Jesus, be a workhorse who serves and live a blessed life.

A TOMB WITH A VIEW:  Jesus said, “I am the resurrection and the life. Anyone who believes in me will live, even after dying.  Everyone who lives in me and believes in me will never ever die.”  Let’s trust him and live in peace.

WHO SINNED?  Jesus wants to open, re-open and keep our eyes open to ultimate spiritual reality.  Let him.
