This series has us on an epic adventure – and we have discovered just how dangerous sharks can be. This session puts us right back into the shark tank and we come face to face with some of the dangerous ways that sharks like to attack. The great news for us as followers is once we know the truth, then we are better equipped to survive and thrive…let’s jump in…
Last week in “We Need a Bigger Boat” we discovered that there truly is a shark in the water of our culture today. Many never realized it or thought of it that way, but as we found out, just because you don’t see the shark, it doesn’t mean that it is not out there below the surface. Today, we take the next step and find out that although there is a shark in the water, the call of God is not to run (or swim) away, instead – it is to go on a shark hunt. So today we make some discoveries that will give us the freedom to declare that “Life is Jaw-some”
There is nothing as terrifying as being neck deep in the ocean when someone yells “Shark!” You realize that in the water the shark can out maneuver you and you are consumed with the thought of how to get where it is safe. Being chased by a shark is not fun, watching a shark can be… you get the idea. Today, we begin a brand new series entitled “We Need a Bigger Boat” based upon that memorable line from the ultimate summer beach movie – Jaws. Against the backdrop of the ocean, we are going to take a deep dive into the Word of God and discover some frightening parallels between some of the things we find in the Bible and the culture we live in today. Get ready for a bit of mystery, a bit of history, a bit of encouragement, and a challenge or two as we set sail on an adventure like none we have been on before….
Today we wrap up our very honest, real, and heartfelt series on what it takes to move from Here to There – in this last session, we once again step forward into the practical, specifically how do you deal with the chaos around you — the chaos that occurs in situations that you can’t really control.
We are on a journey trying to get from where we are to “There” the place God wants us to be. When we get there, we make some amazing discoveries about how God works and how He uses us to change the world. In this study we take a very realistic and practical view of how we can move forward – it is not complicated but it can be tough…but the great news is, we are not doing it alone!
In “There” we have been looking at the importance of living our lives anchored to the Word of God. As we choose to live life according His plan we begin to discover His way. The journey He has for us is exciting but we must also be aware that not everyone we meet wants us to get to the place God wants us to be. This study is a reminder not to be distracted and lose your forward progress.
