120122-0830-Loran Livingston - The Living Jesus

2012-01-22-0830 Pastor Loran Livingston is the speaker this morning January 22nd 2012 in the 8:30 service.

Scripture: John 2:1-11

Topic: Jesus the Son

Notes:- Christians are most boring people sometimes... afraid something worldly will happen- Piano tuning... same thing over and over- People followed Jesus because there was something exciting and unique- There’s not enough Jesus in our Christianity- “Text message from heaven”... a dead message with no personality- The Jews had a hard time accepting Jesus as God; we struggle seeing Him as a man- What if He’s not like anything you’ve been taught- Water into wine at wedding feast...- Some say it wasn’t like wine of today: you’re missing the point, more churchy than spiritual, you’d rather defend personal conviction than let scripture speak for itself- Jesus comes to add a new dimension to things we’re supposed to be enjoying- Jesus is not who you thought He was; didn’t die so you could barely get into heaven but so you could march into the gates with His victory- You don’t gradually get saved; at that moment you get all of God- Ask Him and you will see His glory
