SE7EN Opening Remarks about our spring challenge

Se7en_white

SE7EN- classic imagery... timeless insight
We are not quite as good as we think, some of us have experienced this first hand some of us are waiting for our time to "ripenly rot." Life is on the wire and we are all ready to tip... 

"Father forgive me I have sinned...."
An enigmatic statement if there every was one... The opening line of historical confession expresses both the commission of sin and the need for confession. A repentance of the self, an asking for newness...

SPRING CHALLENGE
Our next big spring (April-May) series, team challenge event, will be a deep inward journey as we examine the classic framework of the "Seven Deadly Sins"

What are the seven deadly sins you ask?
Pride
Envy
Sloth
Greed
Lust
Wrath
Gluttony

all of us are poised to be poisoned... join us over the next seven weeks to explore the depths of these potential disasters

Team Based Awesome- one of the cooler sub-facts about the seven deadly sins is that the following tagline for it is the "4 last things" or better put, the aftermath of sinful ways- so that Death, Judgment, Hell, and Glory become the "last teams" of our adventure into the depths of darkness and the payment for our sinful wage

"for the wages of sin is death...." Rm 6:23

"My body is a cage for all kinds of evil"
One thing I have found to be true... the more I wrestle against the inevitably of my heart, mind, soul, and self to sin the more inclined I am to do so... Truly when Paul writes about not being able to do the things he longs to do because of his cursed body

"I am a host to darkness..." 

but my soul longs for the light...

Can't wait to see you all tomorrow night! this is going to be one epic journey into the heart of darkness...
