pastor ken used my blog title for his sermon title this easter sunday. he had a lot of class to ask ahead of time, which i was glad to grant. he has now posted his sermon notes for reading.

Jesus was stubborn like Norman [you will have to read the illustration story]. He redefined what people thought they
knew. In essence, Jesus would hit the back button so things could go
forward. When others said Messiahs don’t hang out with sinners and that
people don’t get healed on the Sabbath, Jesus was stubborn – THIS
MESSIAH DOES! When others looked at the law and saw the letter, Jesus
looked at it and saw the Spirit – the inspiration of His Father and
what was intended. And when others saw death as final, Jesus was
stubborn, and said, “Not anymore.”
