now another--

though man may not perceive it.

Job 33:14
NIV

God speaks.
God moves.
God is beautiful.

we respond.
we create.
we worship.

What purpose does imagination serve?

Do you agree or disagree with Albert Einstein's
following statement?

"Imagination is more important than knowledge?"

Can imagination allow us to step outside our
routine way of thinking things through and
see a different perspective?

Can imagination allow us to suspend disbelief
and fully accept something that has yet to be proven?

" What is faith? It is the confident assurance that
what we hope for is going to happen.
It is the evidence of things we cannot yet see."

Hebrew 11:1
NLT

IMAGINE

Take on the identity of someone you care about

Krista is now "Daniel"

Scott is now "Melanie"

Zack is now "Amanda"

You're aboard a ship that just struck an iceberg.
The ship has been damaged beyond repair
and is sinking.

There is but one lifeboat left.
It will only be able to take
six of the people from this "ship".

You have 8 minutes before the ship is completely
under water. You must determine, as a group,
who will go on the lifeboat and who won't.

You must play the part of the
identity that you have assumed.

Ray as "Jill",
John as "Linda",
Linda as "Benjamin",
Benjamin as "Angela"
Zack as "Amanda"
and Scott as "Melanie"
are safely on the lifeboat

but what about "Daniel", and the others?

Your destiny is not by chance

I am your creator.
You were in my care
even before you were born.

Isaiah 44:2a
CEV

God dosn't play dice.

Albert Einstein

You were created for a purpose

Krista shares her LifeLine
and encourages you to
draw your LifeLine

A LifeLine represents the
significant moments in your life

why are our stories important?

. . . as we share our stories, our friends
have a chance to see God at work in our lives
and can begin to imagine their own lives
transformed by Christ's love. . .

The Bible is full of
Headline stories

We have an opportunity to see how God worked
through the lives of those in the past.

"My grace is sufficient for you,
for my power is made perfect in weakness."

2 Corinthians 12:8
NIV

The Living Word

The Word became flesh and blood,
and moved into the neighborhood.
We saw the glory with our own eyes,
the one-of-a-kind glory,
like Father, like Son,
Generous inside and out,
true from start to finish.

John 1:14
Message Bible

Christ, the Living Word, wants to live in you.
God want to show how he works
through your life today.

Remember, our Message is not about ourselves;
we're proclaiming Jesus Christ, the Master.
All we are is messengers, errand runners from Jesus for you.
It started when God said, "Light up the darkness!"
and our lives filled up with light as we saw and understood God
in the face of Christ, all bright and beautiful.

If you only look at us, you might well miss the brightness.
We carry this precious Message around in the
unadorned clay pots of our ordinary lives.
That's to prevent anyone from confusing
God's incomparable power with us.

2 Corinthians 5:4-7
Message Bible
