Heroes series begins July 6

Every one of us has a hero.  I remember growing up I had a number of heroes, usually people who had super powers that kept the world safe. But the real heroes are the ordinary people who live ordinary lives and don’t have an alter ego.  Real heroes are real people who do extraordinary things.  On 9-11, we found out that our heroes were the first responders who did what they always do–gave up their lives to try to save the lives of others.

Throughout the Bible there are these kinds of heroes.  They don’t have super powers. In fact, many of them are very flawed people.  Abraham tried to make God’s promises come true on his own power.  Moses murdered a man and tried to cover it up.  David had an affair with a married woman and had her husband killed to cover up his sin. Talk about flawed!!!  And yet, God did some extraordinary things through their lives.  A hero in the Bible is an ordinary person in the hands of an extraordinary God.

Through this summer, July and August, we will look at some of those flawed heroes from both the Old and New Testaments.  When we look at them, we can ask ourselves, “How can I put myself in the hands of my extraordinary God?  What can God do through me?”  Come join us for this special sermons series throughout the summer!
