Beavercreek Nazarene Lent 2013 Sermon Series - Venom

JR. Forasteros - January 26, 2014

Give Us a King!

Ordinary Phenomenon

In our world, we commonly outsource much of our life to professionals. We also have a tendency to do that with our faith as well. The story of Israel demanding a king in 1 Samuel demonstrates for us that God desires an unmediated relationship with us. It's scary, but we were created for that freedom!

From Series: "Ordinary Phenomenon"

How many times have you heard about one of those spectacular events in the Old Testament and thought, "It must be nice!" If only I had seen the Red Sea part, or Elijah's showdown on Mt. Carmel. Then it'd be so easy to trust God! But apparently that's not true. We see again and again that the big events aren't what transform us into God's people. Rather, we find God in the ordinary phenomena we see every day. Join us in January as we explore these Big Events to find what God was calling his people to then - and now: an ordinary, every day relationship that's nothing short of phenomenal.

Everyone knows the world isn’t as it should be. There’s a sickness deep within us, a rot in the human heart. The Bible calls that rot Sin, and even though no one likes to talk about Sin, we can’t escape its reality. A snake once whispered to us that we could be like God. We believed that lie, and the venom of Sin has been killing us ever since.
