Loud & Clear

new message series - Simple.

We start a new message series this week. I’m pretty excited about this series. In our fast paced, info saturated society (of which I am a prime example) we tend to think that nothing is simple. We watch behind the scenes documentaries, listen to DVD director commentaries and wade through the political idealisms looking for concrete strategies.

We look at our faith the same way. We need our Greek / English lexicon, our Strong’s Concordance, our 54 volume set of scriptural commentaries and hopefully a PHD to give us what the Bible’s really trying to say.

We forget that Jesus spoke mostly to the common people of his day. He used stories to communicate. He said, “Love God with all your heart and love your neighbor as yourself.” And he said if you did that, you’d obey every commandment of the Bible. How’s that for Simple?

Is it time for you to get back to a childlike faith? Not blind or unquestioning. And going deeper has it’s place. But if you find yourself in spiritual analysis paralysis, or the thought of trying to understand a relationship with God seems overwhelming, or even if you’ve found yourself in a rut or stalled out and don’t know what to do next- you’re going to love this series.
