“Judas Ate Too”
Where, or who, are you in the story?
What is your favorite part of the story?
What is the most important part?
Which part of the story is for you?
There are lots of characters from which to choose… who are you?
Who are the characters with whom we might identify?
Knowing who you are helps you to see the way forward.
Paul’s description of himself: I Cor. 15:8 – 10, I Tim 1:15
Knowing our weaknesses and shortcomings can be a platform for Ministry.
Romans 8:1ff, 2 Cor. 12:9-10, I Tim 1:12-17)
When we recognize who WE are it gives us room to give grace to others.
Jesus welcomes us… as we are… and challenges us to move forward into abundant life.
Jesus loves us enough to welcome us as we are… and too much to leave us there.
