sUNDAY I STARTED A NEW SERIES CALLED MOVIN & GROOVIN. THE MAIN PARTS OF THE FIRST SERMON WAS THAT WE ALL AT SOME POINT SLIDE OFF THE ROAD , GET INTO A GROOVE AND END UP IN A RUT.

iT COULD BE A GROOVE OF A MARRIAGE, A RUT WITH CHURCH, A RUT OF FINANCES, A GROOVE OF ALCOHOL OR DRUGS...... BUT THE BIG QUESTION IS ..WHEN WE FIND OURSELVES IN A RUT WHAT DO WE DO?

wE HAVE TO LOOK TO JESUS FOR THAT ANSWER. HE WAS COMFORTABLE AND PEACEFUL IN HEAVEN. ANGELS ALL AROUND HIM AND GOD SINGING AND PRAISING AND HAVING A WONDERFUL FELLOWSHIP TIME.  BUT HE SAW THAT WE HIS CREATION WAS IN A RUT AND SO JESUS HAD TO MOVE FROM COMFORTABLE TO UNCOMFORTABLE TO RESCUE US FROM OUR RUTS.  HE HAD TO MOVE.....HE HAD TO DO SOMETHING

JESUS CAME TO EARTH, WAS RIDICULED AND PICKED ON BY HIS OWN PEOPLE, THE CHURCH ATTACKED HIM,MOCKED HIM AND TRIED TO DISCREDIT WHO HE WAS AND WHAT HE WAS ALL ABOUT. BUT HE STILL MOVED AND DID HIS FATHERS WILL.

WHEN WE GET INTO A RUT,THE ANSWER IS EASY. MOVE CLOSER TO JESUS.  LIFT OUR HANDS UP IN DESPAIR AND SAY HELP ME JESUS, COME TO MY RESCUE......BEGIN TO WALK CLOSER TO HIM...BEGIN TO DO AS HE ASKS.....STOP LIVING A LIE AND FULLY SUBMIT TO CHRISTS CARE AND CONTROL OF YOUR LIFE, IT WILL NEVER BE THE SAME AGAIN.
