Outgoing – Session 7 – 20 October 2011
Buried
RECAP: Since God is Giver – what is sin?
Sin is not receiving
Sin is not about behaviour, it’s about being.
.
Common Objection: “Sounds like I’m born sick and commanded to be well. How is that fair?”
.
THIS WEEK: We will explore four statements:
We’re born in sin
We’re condemned already
We’re enslaved to our passions
Our best is rubbish.
.
We’re born in sin: John 3:1-8
.
.
We’re condemned already: John 3:16-18
.What state are we in as Jesus comes to us?
What is the mission of the Father and the Son?
.
Why is it good news that I’m condemned already?
I’m not at a cross-roads, I’m not on a tight-rope
Eternity is not in the balance, it’s out of my hands
.
Therefore “DECISION” is dethroned.
.
“Predestined”
In Adam my destiny was determined “pre”-me.
In Christ my destiny was determined “pre”-me.
Salvation is not a taxi, it’s a bus.
I don't pay for the ride, I don't determine the destination.
I find myself along with others on a predetermined path.
