11 Judges 17:1-18:31 "Micah, a Certain Levite, & the Danites: Personal Jesus."

We'd love to hear from you. Text us.We all have a God-sized hole in our souls.  We were created to worship, but we also want to be our own gods. How do we reconcile these competing impulses? An easy answer is to refashion god into a god of our own making & liking.  In the beginning, God made man in His image & ever since we have been trying to return the favor.  We would like a god who is there for us, who cares for us, but one who demands very little of us.  We would like a deliverer but not a judge.  A savior but not a lawgiver.  We would like a God powerful enough to rescue us but naïve enough for us to be able to manipulate.  In our day it has become quite fashionable to fashion our own spirituality.  To say “my Jesus” would never teach that.  Yet in Scripture, biblical Jesus does do that, say that & command that.  So instead, we worship a personal Jesus, a Jesus of our own imagination.  The thing is, imaginary friends cannot save you from real enemies & imaginary Jesus cannot save you from real sin, or hell itself.   Grab your Bible, a pen, & print out the free downloadable sermon outline & accompanying Diving Deeper in Scripture Together Study Guide and let's get Washed in the Word!Free sermon outlines & accompanying study guides are available at our website: www.washedintheword.life on the Study Guides page.
