Sermon Series
Act 1: Creation
Act 2: Rebellion
Act 3: Rescue
Act 4: Re-Creation
Sunday I continued a new teaching series at my church, called “Know the Story. Share the Story.” It’s based on 3-4 years of my writing and thinking life about how we retell God’s Story and what we should say when we retell it. My hope is that people will better understand the pieces of God’s magical, revolutionary Story of Rescue in Jesus, so that they can share that Story with their friends or coworkers of family or neighbors.
This second of four teachings on God’s Story is on Act 2: Rebellion. The main idea is that while people are brilliant—because we are statues of God—we are bad—because we are cracked, busted statues. All of us are born into the condition of sin and in desperate need of rescue and re-creation. And in order to talk hopefully of rescue offered in Christ, we need to be honest about this part of the story, too.
PS—If you’re interested in something that will equip you to know and share God’s Story, I created a short, cheap ebook called God’s Story of Rescue.
