Sunday Sermonettes #001
The opening verse of the Bible does not introduce God. He needs no introduction. He was, is, and always will be.
He created everything out of nothing. He created everything with a purpose.
The heavens are vast. They are beyond the stretch of human imagination and its ends beyond discovery.
But the earth he created for you. That you may know him and love him. He does not yield to your intellect. Because your intellect is like a spoonful of water beside the oceans. You cannot know him with your intelligence.
Like every kingdom has a currency; the kingdom of God too has a currency. It is faith. Therefore the Bible says that “By faith we understand that the universe was formed at God’s command, so that what is seen was not made out of what was visible.”
This faith is more personal when it comes to the cross of Jesus. When the world demands that we find God through knowledge and wisdom; God says find me through my message of foolishness.
The cross of Jesus is the message of foolishness. Why? Because the cross says you can have a new beginning in your life by simply looking to Jesus in faith.
He shed his precious blood there for you; that you might find peace with God. Yes, you can be friends with God right now as you look to the cross and put your faith in the Son of God who bled and died for your sins.
When you trust in him who lives forever, he makes you a brand new creation. It is a new beginning for you. For he puts his own life within you.
Circumstances might not change but the power of this new life will give you the lift to fly above all that pulls you down. You too can enjoy this new beginning in life.
