Boring? Unadventurous? Meek? Irrelevant? These are some of the phrases people use to talk about Jesus. Say Whaaaaaat?! Jesus isn't any of those things. His time on earth presented some of the greatest adventures of all time. Let's jump in the car with Jesus as we take a look at His life, adventures, and what He wants to teach us. Oh, and "I Call Shotgun!"

Selfie. Kodak moment. Let me hashtag that. We find ourselves grabbing photos of all sorts of moments. Ones that we cherish, ones that are crazy, and even ones that are painful. But what if those moments or even single moment, began to define us? What if we became so consumed with just a part of the story, we forgot the rest entirely? Let's take a look at, "Snapshots."

Rip currents and waves can move us places that we don’t even realize. Then at some point we look up to see we’ve moved way down the beach. How did that happen? Why didn’t we notice? What could we have done, changed, recognized, to see it happening and possibly stop it. It happens with our spiritual journey with God on a daily basis. Unless we keep a close eye, we can drift far from him without knowing. There’s got to be a way to notice, “The Drift.”

There’s an easy way and then there’s a hard way. Choosing shortcuts, easy ways, and faster outcomes seems to almost be a no brainer. But, what if that isn’t the plan? What if life takes work? Maybe, the things we need to do aren’t always the easiest, but the best for us will mean putting in a HUGE amount of effort... Let’s take a look at the “Wide & Narrow.”

Surgery. An accident. A childhood event gone bad. Everybody has scars. Most of the time we cover them up, explain them away, or choose to ignore them. What about the scars that people don’t see? The ones that stick with us inside? How do we deal with those? What ways can we heal? How can we turn the hurtful things over to God, so He can frame them, hang them up, and show us the things we can learn from our “Beautiful Scars.”

We’ve seen the people on their soapbox. The bullhorn guys at the beach. The billboards and signs that tell us how bad we are. How do you and I tell other people about Jesus? Are we changing the standard? Are we talking to people? Or, are we letting the one’s with the loudest and usually harshest remarks set the tone? Time to learn how to share the love of Jesus with others, face to face, one on one. Not with “Bullhorns & Billboards.”
