The talk that resulted from these notes found it's way into my WebLog at WebLog20040114. You might be best off reading it form there.


Urbana, open in prayer for guidance,

Allison, Mokkattam
girl sorting trash, wanted to show love
es-mig-nora

prayed for another way, God spoke

your sin like this, smells, feels

girl found doll, excitement

how God feels when he finds something in us
- gift place there from birth, used for glory

team came by, told her no, guest
this is how I can demonstrate love

hit me, picture of my life
God's outragious love gets down and dirty

knows cost, willing to pay

think of Jesus, left heaven, why?
attitude when he got here

leaper, skin desease, covered in leprosy

God not afraid of your garbage, touches it, takes it away

myself, filthy rags
- for all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God
- all are freely justified by his grace
- you see at just the right time while we were still sinners Christ died for the ungodly
- God demonstrated his love for us in this, that while we were still sinners Christ died for us

when jesus touched lepper, said he was willing, not kidding

knew the cost, for you, for human race
hung on the cross, painfull, thought of us, and forgave soldiers

that is God's heart, he is willing, be clean

old testiment sacrafices, jesus perfect sacrifice
- how much more then, will the blood of Jesus, offered as an unblemished sacrafice, cleanse our conciences from acts that lead to death so we may serve the living God

jesus demonstrated. will you see?
did it so you could freely serve the living God. will you?

he touches you. what now?
enter his presence with confidence.
- let us draw near to God with a sincere heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled to cleanse us from a guilty concience and having our bodies washed with pure water
- Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for he who promised is faithful
- Let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds. Let us encourage one another
as you go through your day think about encouraging eachother

one more thing, heavy heart, messed up world
- The whole creation has been groaning...right up to the present time
- We ourselves, who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, grian inwardly as we wait eagerly for our adoption as sons

but holy spirit left to be with us.
guide, comfort, and also prayer.
- The spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groans that words cannot express.
- The Spirit insersedes for the saints in accordence with God's will

songs, prayer, the rest of my testimony.
