Today's Sermon in a Sentence @tatesprings: "God's majesty is the mirror that reveals our true selves and the map that directs us to His mission."
Isaiah 6
Ironically, certain types of ministry efforts can actually pull you away from the heart of the Great Commission. It’s amazing what a few days can do to recalibrate your heart & sharply bring into focus what we're truly fighting for.
Today’s Sermon in a Sentence at @tatesprings - Embracing God as your ‘Father’ clarifies who He really is, supercharging your confidence to live boldly as His treasured child.
David’s ‘mighty men’ in 1 Ch 11 demonstrate success isn’t about the capabilities of the individual but the strength of the community.
The individual men were ‘mighty’ because they were a community.
It’s not about how high you can personally climb, but how many you can lift up.
This might be the most important thing I've ever written. And, I'm honored to have been able to co-author it with @dsons. As two former Chairman of the EC, we feel something needs to be said and as we understand it, the Resolutions portal opens today.
Nimrod was the 1st “mighty man" (1 Ch 1:10). Yet, the term has become a slight.
Why?
Because Daffy Duck called Elmer Fudd "nimrod" to mock his hunting skills.
Sarcasm fails if the reference is lost; w/o a biblical narrative, meanings twist.
And cartoons get to rebrand us.
“The Resurrection is the Eucatastrophe of the story of the incarnation. This story begins and ends in joy. There is no tale ever told that men would rather find was true, and none which so many skeptical men have accepted as true on its own merits"
- Tolkien, On Fairy Stories
Today’s sermon in a sentence at @tatesprings:
Today’s problems might seem new, but the solution is old—a faith that’s been God’s gift to us across the ages.
The chief priests & Pharisees calling Jesus an 'imposter' while sealing the tomb because they feared His resurrection is deeply ironic.
In trying to hide the truth, they only magnified God's power.
No human effort can outwit God's sovereign plan.

Got to talk & pray w/ a young lady at the end of our Good Friday service tonight.
She said, “it all clicked together for me tonight” & gave her life to Jesus.
That’s the power of the cross.
#GoodFriday@tatesprings
And all the people answered, “His blood be on us and on our children!”
Little did they know the gravity of their words.
“He made peace by His blood, shed on a cross” (Col 1:20).

Jesus emphasized “the weightier matters” of the law—justice, mercy, & faithfulness.
The reaction was a pitchfork rebellion; a crowd armed to the teeth w/ swords & clubs.
Fast forward two millennia, & it's evident we're still grappling with similar reactions.

Judas’ betrayal in Matt 26 is as chilling as it is tragic.
It’s a reminder of how personal ambition & greed can lead us to betray our very principles.
There's nothing that matches the value of knowing Jesus. Don't let the world trick you into thinking otherwise.
