Tweets and more tweets

Here are some of my favorite tweets from the last few weeks.  This is one of the blessings of social media where we can hear the gospel from people all over the world. If you like the tweet, go and follow the person on Twitter.
Daily you have to see the glory of Christ. Daily you have to let the cross grip you right where you are as a sinner. When you go to Christ daily you are liberated, then you will know where others need liberation and the river of living water will flow from you to others. (Jack Miller)
No sin, no matter how powerful and dark, lurks beyond the defeating, delivering, forgiving and enabling power of God’s grace. @PaulTripp
Jesus doesn’t say you can be or may be or will be free. He says you are free. Therefore, we must declare—we must confess—truths like the following: Romans 8:17; Romans 8:38-39; Galatians 5:1 @rebekahlyons 
We would argue that life for the believer is fueled by a constant flow of good news. “God is good with you child” is our ultimate confidence as pilgrims. To put it simply: The Christian life is intended to be lived from “status forward.”  @theocast_org
“Shame on you” morality sermons produce “shame on you” morality Christians. “Extravagant grace” gospel sermons produce “extravagant grace” gospel Christians. @DaveGass3
Faith and repentance must also become like breathing to you. You breathe in the promises of God (God is good; God loves me; God is with me). You breathe out the lies of trying to abide in those other vines (God is holding out on me; I know how my life works best). @WilbourneWisdom

Sermon Notes-"Transitional Thoughts"

Introduction: As I was thinking and praying about what to share during my final sermon on staff, I began to think of the transition that I am making as well as the church.   We as pastors have been consistently focused on three priorities over the last several years: prayer, worship and equip.   So, even though I may no longer be on staff in a few weeks at this church, as a member of this church I believe just as strongly that Hesston MB needs to continue to be about these priorities in the days ahead.   However, the more I prayed about it, the more I realized that to get to these priorities, we as a church also had to make some transitions so that is why I am entitling this message “Transitional Thoughts”.   Transition is defined as “the process or an instance of changing from one form, state, activity, or place to another.” Educate to Equip- Ephesians 4:11-16 ·          What is the difference?   o    To educate the focus is information; to equip the focus is transformation o

Sermon Notes "Plans" based on Acts 10:24-48

Introduction: I would like you to think about the word “plans”. Write down on your bulletin some plans you have for: this week, summer, your future, etc.   I am a planner so I love to know what is going to happen.   Yet we also need to keep in mind a Scripture from Proverbs 19:21 “Many are the plans in the mind of a man, but it is the purpose of the Lord that will stand.” We are going to see from the story of Peter and Cornelius, two great leaders who had plans yet God had a different plan and purpose for them and for others. Prepared- vs. 24-29 ·          Vs. 23-24-Peter and Cornelius have visions (10:1-23) o    Peter is told not to call common what God has made clean (15). As Peter is trying to figure out what it means, some men come and find him. o    Cornelius is told to call for a man named Peter and is given his location and he sends his servants to find him. o    Peter makes preparations and goes to Caesarea, Cornelius gets ready for his guests and invites his close fr
