Twsited: The Video

No, the video itself isn't twisted - its just the introduction played before each of the Twisted series of sermons.

Twisted: Love and Lust - 1 John 3:16-20

If there is one amazing gift that God has given us, it is love. But, not the idea of love that we have become so accustomed to. God's love is more than just romantic feelings or a strong desire or the devotion of Romeo and Juliet. God's love is sacrifice, it thinks of others before self in many ways it is contrary to what we know as love. Of course God's greatest gift is the adversary's greatest weapon.
  • Love means Sacrifice
    • v16 - This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid down his life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers
  • Real Love is Physical
    • v18 - Dear children, let us not love with words or tongue but with actions and in truth.
  • Real Love is not Risky - It Removes Risk
    • v20 - For God is greater than our hearts, and he knows everything

Twisted: Money and Greed - Luke 16:1-13

Money itself isn't bad. It can do great things when used correctly. It is when money is used incorrectly that problems start. When we recognize where money comes from and how it should be used, it can be a wonderful tool. When we think only of ourselves money gets twisted into greed and we get twisted in the process.
  • Money is FROM God
  • Money is FOR God
    • Through Other People
    • Through the Church
  • Money becomes greed when we focus on US instead of GOD
