Discovering the Extraordinary in Everyday Life: A Sermon Series
Ordinary or Extraordinary – sermon notes
By all means, ordinary people live ordinary lives and die ordinary deaths never changing or affecting anything or anyone. On the contrary, extraordinary people live extraordinary lives and affect and change something. Similarly, I have never been ordinary. In short, my name is not ordinary. In reality, nothing about me is ordinary. So, how about you?
Creative Thinking – sermon video audio notes
Do we copy or create? An extraordinary church will be creative. Creative thinking is not taking someone’s idea and copying it or making it better. God did not take some different god’s idea and improve on it or make it applicable to what he wanted to accomplish. This is not to say this is wrong. If it works then use it. Creativity is taking nothing and making something. In everything God created he said either, Let there be or Let the…. or Let them… In everything God creates there is a creative productivity let loose.
Two Manner of People – sermon video audio notes
The scriptures teach there are different types of, or Two Manner of People. In the womb of Rebekah, there were two manners of people. One would be stronger than the other. One would serve the other. In the church, the mother of us all (Gal 4:26), exists two manners of people. These are the ordinary and the extraordinary. One is stronger than the other. One serves the other.
