SUNDAY SNAPSHOT (WHAT I DESERVE, BUT… - 2)

 How different do you think The World might look if EVERYONE GOT WHAT THEY DESERVED? (Do you think...) Your Salary be the Same? (Or...) What do you think our Prisons might Look Like? (Or what about...) Do you think Nice Guys would Finish First or Last? (Or...) WOULD THINGS BE A LOT WORSE? (Well...) We've started a New Series here at COC called "WHAT I DESERVE, BUT..." We're taking a closer look at a Few Things that WE RIGHTFULLY DESERVE - BUT... God Has Graciously Given Us Opposite! We’ve already begun taking a look at some pretty serious things like Death/Life – and This Week we’re gonna look a little closer at Condemnation/Mercy – then follow it up the last couple weeks with looking at things like Rejection/Acceptance and Out/In -- Our Prayer for this series is that some of us might change our Negative ATTITUDE we might sometimes have towards God and become a little more filled with GRATITUDE - especially when it comes to the things that WE REALLY DO DESERVE - BUT... – Hope to See You Sunday for Week Two!

Sunday Snapshot… (2) CONDEMNATION / MERCY

ROMANS 8:1… Therefore… there is NOW – NO CONDEMNATION for those who are in Christ Jesus...

NOW… NOT LATER… NOT AFTER COUNSELING… NOT “IF” YOU PROVE YOURSELF WORTHY… NOW/NOW/NOW… THERE IS NO CONDEMNATION FOR THOSE WHO ARE IN CHRIST JESUS!

JOHN 8:11… “Go now and leave your life of sin.” (Means...) GO NOW AND BE FREE!

YOU ARE NOT WHO YOU THINK YOU ARE… YOU ARE WHO JESUS SAYS YOU ARE!

See You Sunday Celebrators… (9a / 10:45a)

SUNDAY SNAPSHOT (WHAT I DESERVE, BUT… - 1)

How different do you think The World might look if EVERYONE GOT WHAT THEY DESERVED? (Do you think...) Your Salary be the Same? (Or...) What do you think our Prisons might Look Like? (Or what about...) Do you think Nice Guys would Finish First or Last? (Or...) WOULD THINGS BE A LOT WORSE? (Well...) We're starting a New Series here at COC over the next few weeks called "WHAT I DESERVE, BUT..."We're gonna take a closer look at a Few Things that WE RIGHTFULLY DESERVE - BUT...God Has Graciously Given Us Opposite! We're gonna take a look at some pretty serious things like Death/Life- Condemnation/Mercy- Rejection/Acceptance and Out/In-- Our Prayer for this series is that some of us might change our Negative ATTITUDE we sometimes have towards God and become a little more filled with GRATITUDE- especially when it comes to the things that WE REALLY DO DESERVE - BUT...Please Don't Miss It...I believe it's gonna be Spiritually Eye-Opening to many of us!

Sunday Snapshot… (1) DEATH / LIFE

Fortunately for You/Me… The KINGDOM OF GOD does not operate according to the PRINCIPLES of FAIRNESS!

JESUS trumped JUSTICE as JUSTICE is UNDERSTOOD! He's decided to be EXTRAVAGANTLY UN-FAIR... (And…) GIVE us SOMETHING that we COMPLETELY DON'T DESERVE... GRACE!

BEING BETTER going FORWARD never ERASES our PAST... that's the beautiful thing about GRACE! (It has nothing to do with YOU!)

Christ's Death/Resurrection signaled to The World that the Kingdom of God is not reserved for GOOD PEOPLE... it's reserved for FORGIVEN PEOPLE!

JESUS doesn't care about WHAT you've DONE- He only cares about WHAT you'll DO... NEXT!

Until you can see Your SINFULNESS… you'll never see Your NEED for a SAVIOR!

See You Sunday Celebrators… (9a / 10:45a)
