A Recent Sermon on the Topic “SAVED!”

Here’s a sermon I preached last week in a small church in Aiken, SC.  The series’ title is “Saved!  Rescued from God, by God, and for God.”  Comments welcome.

 

WOULDN’T IT BE GREAT TO HAVE A COUPLE OF BLANKS?

My wife and I are avid Scrabble players.  We’re both teachers.  She’s an English teacher and I’m a graduate professor.  When we play Scrabble, we both kind of cheat (“Just checking my email, Dear!”).  We like the game so much that we actually named our dog Scrabble!

Did you read the story about the young man who was playing in the World Championship of Scrabble Tournament?  See his story here.

Apparently, this young man palmed two blank tiles, which would be a GREAT ADVANTAGE in forming words!  He was caught — and disqualified.

It would be great in life to have two blank tiles, wouldn’t it?  You could make them anything you want to.

I think the gospel is kind of like getting a whole bunch of blank tiles that God can use in our lives.  What do you think?
