OH %!@# PART 6: What Are You Looking At?

Sunday, August 11th, 2013
Ken Elsner, Lead Pastor

Have you ever believed in something so much that you were willing do whatever it takes to see it fulfilled? What would that look like? Would you be willing to walk away from a good, stable job for a riskier, but more fulfilling one? How about moving to another country? Could you walk away from a long term relationship because you know that it's toxic? How far could you go for what you believed in? How far would you go for what you were being called to? Could you walk away from your family because of your faith? Did you know that Jesus said in the Bible that he came to bring a sword, not peace? Did you know that he said that if you didn't leave everything for him, that he wouldn't know you? Pretty extreme stuff! Hard to hear

OH %!@# PART 4: Sell It All

Ken Elsner, Lead Pastor

Do you own anything? TV? iPhone? Car? House? Clothes? Dishes? Dog? Cat? Probably some of these if not all of them. All of us have stuff that belongs to us, stuff we enjoy having. Does any of it own you? It rules your life. Your actions. Your thoughts. Hitting a nerve yet? There's a story in the Bible about a young, wealthy leader, who approaches Jesus about how to get to heaven. This young man had done most of things that his religion taught him to do. Jesus' response to this young man was disturbing. It was extreme. It made this young man go OH %!#@.
