Holly Furtick is my Pastor's wife at Elevation Church. She always has a commentary about the previous Sunday's sermon. This week was no different. Instead of me explaining to all ya'll what I learned... i just did a little copy paste work.. Read... Reflect.. and Apply to your life... Kill Switch.. It's a good Series. If you get the chance Listen to the sermon online!
This past Sunday we began our new series, Kill Switch. Opened by a super intense new Switchfoot song, my husband launched into a powerful message on the cross and sin.
The message was entitled "The Cross is the Kill Switch," based from Colossians 2:13-15. And I thought it was a such a timely message for all the people at Elevation who have recently given their lives to Christ.
My favorite point was, "get the dead cat out of your bed!" Crass I know. But my husband shared a true story about a lady whose cat had died and she wanted to sleep with it one more night. Disgusting. But oddly enough, we do the same thing with our sin.
Colossians 2:13 says we were dead in our sins, but God has made us alive in Christ. So many of us come alive in Christ yet we cling to our dead sin. A dead habit, speech, group of friends, relationship? How silly we must look to God clinging to what is already dead.
The cross is the kill switch! My husband said, "the cross is not only a crutch for our defeat, but its also a weapon for our victory!" What a powerful thought to propel us through the rest of the week!
