Title: Talking the Walk
Series: Show and Tell (2 of 2)
Scripture: Matthew 25:14-30
Author: Dr. Joey Rodgers
Good AM class - last Sunday for show/tell I brought a chunk of the Berlin Wall, (5) smooth stones from the creek bed in the Valley of Elah where David likely chose his (5) stones that slayed Goliath - and I brought a Cheeto - to remind us that we're to be more than a bunch of puffed up religionist who are all volume and no substance but instead, we're to have a faith w/ substance that walks the talk.
For those of you who showered me w/ bags of Cheetos - thank you! I will enjoy them. You almost inspired me to bring a shrimp/lobster for Show/Tell today.
Instead, today I've brought a few more items I hope will impress you. The first one was a gift from my daughter - a few yrs ago, she went on an archeological dig in Nazareth where she recovered this piece of pottery that dates back to 800 yrs before Christ likely during the reign of King Joash or King Jeroboam II.
Next, I brought a leaf from a Geneva Bible that dates back to 1560 and contains my life verse. The GB preceded the KJV and was the Bible of Shakespeare, John Calvin, John Knox, and Oliver Cromwell.
The 3rd item I've brought w/ me today is this bracelet. Have you ever seen a bracelet like this? Does anyone have an idea of what this bracelet is made of?
It's made of pieces of torn paper - to share a message of hope, peace, and grace to people whose lives have been torn to pieces by life. So, it serves as a discussion starter to help you to engage in spiritual conversations w/ others to share about the love/grace of Jesus.
Last week, we began a 2-week series on the topic of walking/talking our faith. Last week, we discussed the importance of walking the talk before talking the walk - b/c our actions always speak louder than our words. So, rather than having a CPF, God wants us to have a practicing faith w/ substance.
Idea is - Your walk talks but your talk d ...
