October 31, 2010 ~ "God's Invincible Plan"

Youth & Worship Pastor,

Rory Dardich

Introduction: How often does life seem haphazard?

Proposition: Romans 8:28-39 lays out how God operates in our lives as believers and why. Taking it seriously should challenge and even rearrange how we approach life.

*For some reason the introduction was not recorded. It set up digging into the passage by reflecting on how much life sometimes feels haphazard like the look of some modern art pieces (haphazard meaning, "lacking any obvious principle of organization"). We see in the passage that God's plan may seem that way to us but is anything BUT haphazard.

A few people asked about the Francis Chan podcast I mentioned & played during the message. You can find them HERE. Scroll down to the message dated 5/23/10, "Love God Love People". This was the 2nd to last message he gave before leaving Cornerstone Church in Simi Valley, California. If you like, you can listen to a backlog of messages all the way back to 2005 and then most of 2001. Of course, there are messages from Cornerstone's other pastors too. :)

Also, if you weren't with us Sunday and would like to see the "Sports Church" video that was used you can see it HERE.
