Jon is prepping his next series
The past few weeks he’s been wrestling with God’s goodness
Disaster on the otherwise o the world doesn’t directly affect your life
Personal disaster though makes you ask, is God good
Goodness of God doesn’t depend on your character
God is good … All th time. All the time…god is good
He is risen…he is risen indeed
Good is very relative
Good or great haircut, Kobe have a good or great season, Good job or great job
Mostly take great over good in our culture
More an eater than a cook
Ribs he cooks
Getting it right is a process
If you put all this work into something and it’s just good, you’re demoralized
Maybe the authors of the Bible didn’t intend for us to interpret it that way, that tamely
Each of the paintings talked about who the Artis was, what was in their art
Looking at the creation reveals the heart of the creator
Lourve is big – 652,000 sqft
35,000 pieces of art
13 12 hour days with only 30 seconds a piece
When you see the Mona Lisa for thefirst time, your reaction tells about you
It’s really small!
God’s attributes are all over His creations
If it’s just good, what wasn’t A+?
He’s seen a lot of the world
Illegal fireworks at the indian reservation
Machete through Malaysia
Ruins of Mexico city
Byron bay sunrise
Snorkel in the great barrier reef, 3ft clam
Top of the Eiffel tower
Changing of the guards at buckingham palace, couldn’t make then laugh, lots of mullets
Giants causeway in Ireland
Snow covered whistler
Hundreds of other words to describe it
Gnarly, excellent, marvelous, awe-inspiring
We have a different idea of what good is
Good is part of His character, and He was saying that creation is perfect and like Me now
Instead of goodness we see a fallen world – a world that is decaying in front of our eyes
John 10:10 – life to the full
God’s intentions are not what we are experiencing
When God said creation was good, Hes was saying it’s perfect right now
What you’re seeing right now is My intentions
We live in a world where sin is rampant and God isn’t perfectly in our lives
God doesn’t see what we’re doing, He sees the gap between that and what He intended for us, the gap Jesus had to die to bridge
Cornelious Acts 10, devout Jew, to hear that Jesus went around doing good
He was hearing a whole lot more than Jesus did okay
When people bumped into Jesus and interacted
1. Brought back into community
Woman at the well forgiven
John 4
2. Able to worship again
Leper in Matthew 8
Jesus heals the leper and commands him to worship
3. Decided to follow Jesus
Matthew 22
Jesus healed them and they followed Him
How many of us desire a touch from Him?
If Jesus continued God’s work to bring people back, what cam we do
Connected with his old friend – Lived 10 houses away
what do you do? It’s a good thing to know so you can connec via interests
Jews adherence to religious laws identified them
The requirements for being acceptable to God shifted when Jesus showed up
Tension in Galatians 5:22
We’ve been working really hard at this and now you’ve changed the test subject on us!!!
Against the fruit of the spirit there is no law
Bump into somebody who requires your patience
These are our observational features as Christians
1 Peter 2:9
Isn’t it good that God is pursuing our hearts right now?
Why walk around feeling broken all the time when He came to heal us?
Paul
Central issue to our life
We are spirits first
Pray that every circumstance brings us closer to Him, especially the heartaches
Who You Are “To find who you are”, that is who you are
Matt
We weren’t intended to live apart from God
