IF/THEN

Have you ever asked yourself “What if?”

What if you got to sit by that girl at campfire?

Would she be your girlfriend now?

What if you made that catch during the big game?

What if you studied more for that test?

What if you had different parents?

What if you were born in another country?

What if you applied deodorant? 

What if you were born poor?

What if you were prettier?, taller?, stronger?, smarter?, healthier,? 

​

Every time we consider “if” choices, we begin to play

out “then” scenarios. 

…then I would be more liked.

…then I would have been the hero.

…then I wouldn’t have been grounded.

…then I wouldn’t have broken my phone.

…then I would embarrass myself.

…then I could know love.

…then I should tell the truth.

…then I would be healthier… smarter… more confident… less angry… less anxious… happier.

​

When we consider our faith in Jesus we engineer “if/then” programming into our decision-making; into our life choices. Let me give you some examples:

IF we confess…  THEN we will be forgiven.

IF we look at Jesus…  THEN we’ll see God’s face.

IF we put sin to death..  THEN God’s life will flow through us.

IF we practice purity… THEN we’ll find intimacy.

IF we exercise our spiritual gifts…  THEN the church will strengthen and grow

We want to invite you to consider with us, “IF/THEN” in summer of 2023

If we surrender…   Then God will save

If we seek… Then God will reveal

If we remain… Then God will produce

If we obey… Then God will bless

If we serve… Then God will multiple
