Living in HD

I still remember the first time I saw an HDTV.  I was walking through a department store when I was completely overwhelmed by the row of Plasma TVs peering out from their shelf in the electronics section.  The picture was so bright, so sharp, so detailed, that it put the rest of the TVs in the room to shame.

I've had an HDTV in my house for a while now.  I've gotten used to the exceptional detail and vibrancy that comes with it.  And to be honest, I can't imagine going back to the old TV.

This weekend, I'll be preaching about what it means to be Living in HD.  God calls each of us to salvation through Jesus Christ.  Too many of us respond to that call by becoming 1-day Christians, showing up to church each weekend and living the rest of our lives as if nothing significant has happened.  But God envisions more for us.  He wants to open our eyes, giving us the opportunity to see Him at work in the world.  He wants us to sense the significance of our calling, to see the path He has laid out before us, and to experience His unspeakable power in us and through us as we pursue His purpose.  He wants us to live a transformed life.  Living on purpose. Living victoriously.  Living in HD.

I hope to see you at Sunnyside this Sabbath.  If you can't make it, check out the webcast Saturday morning at 11:20am Pacific Time. 


 I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened, so that you will know what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints, and what is the surpassing greatness of His power toward us who believe.  ~~Ephesians 1:18,19
