That Looks Weird (Ideas for November 15)

Speaker: Josh Schaa
Producers: Ryan & Mitch
Worship Leaders: Joshua Nedrud

Description:
We expect that if God is going to move among us, his voice will sound reasonable and the wind of his Spirit will blow in conventional directions. That is a decidedly unbiblical assumption. It seems that God doesn’t always honor our sense of dignity or our rigorous education. He doesn’t mind those attributes in someone with enough maturity to realize how much he or she doesn’t need them. “Weird” is not a valid test of whether something is Godly or not, it’s often God’s preferred mode of conversation.
