That Smells Fishy - Ideas for November 8

Speaker: Kris
Producers: Ken & Tim
Worship Leaders: Aaron & Renay

We'll decide art for this service on October 28th at Arts and Production.

Description:
It should be profoundly comforting that the heroes of scripture were perceived as weird, flawed, incompetent, foolish, and even less than pure. That makes any of us eminently qualified to fulfill God’s purposes. The amazing thing about their lives was what God did in them, not what they did themselves. Sometimes humility, honesty, and desperate faith were all they had to offer, but those are priceless commodities in the economy of God. We don’t treasure them as much as he does, but we should. He has proven again and again that he wants us to come to him on those very simple but uncomfortable terms.
