THE REALITY OF HALLOWEEN

How crazy is it that today we are given candy for pretending we are somebody else

We have dressed up to resemble all kinds of different characters

Characters we may look up to

Characters that we think are humorous

Characters that intrigue us

Characters that we believe have super powers

That may have some supernatural characteristics

It is so fun to pretend for a day that you are a princess, or a superhero

It is so fun to dress up

To put on the attire of a super hero

To be like them, talk like them, and do the awesome things that they do.

Even in this crazy messed up world

Where people have taken this day and made it about evil

A day where people try to emulate the reality of death and hell

It is all about who is the scariest

Who can portray death and gore to its greatest potential

This year its almost like we don’t have to try

Evil seems to be increasing

Evil seems to have unmasked itself

Evil seems to be normal

The Sinfulness of man seems to not only be impacting the sinful individual

But we are realizing more and more

How our personal sin impacts many

How our failures can impact our families

How the devaluation of life has led to the unfortunate deaths of many

How the devaluation of life has led to the unfortunate death of many

But today, this church, has come together to prove that the message we have does not retract from evil

This church,

The Love that we have is not diminished by evil

The Light that we shine isn’t dimmed by evil

Because The Lord Jesus Christ has does something about evil

JESUS IS THE WORLD’S TRUEST SUPER HERO

THINK ABOUT IT THIS WAY

BATMAN

A founding member of the Justice League

Protector of Gotham City

A Great Fighter

One of the World’s Smartest Men

YET HIS SINGLE MINDEDNESS ON GOTHAM CITY REVEALED HIS WEAKNESS

HE ONLY CARED ABOUT A SPECIFIC CITIZEN

WHERE JESUS CARED ABOUT EVERY HUMAN ON THIS WORLD

SUPERMAN

Had Incredible Super Strength

Super-speed,

Invulnerability,

Freezing breath,

Flight,

Heat-vision

YET HIS WEAKNESS WAS FOUND TO BE KRYPTONITE

A

We see that God created everything with a positive intent

His intentions were always rooted in the love He would one day put on display

Even though sin increased in this world

Instead of a natural response in repentance

We have grown

Rejecting what is good

Rejecting what is good

He has not stopped placing eternity in our hearts

Clinging to what is evil

Even though evil has increased

Rejecting the truth

The Holy Spirit has not stopped convicting people of sin righteousness and judgement

Clinging to the lies of the devil

Even though hate has infiltrated our country

Rejecting purity

The Love of God is still available for all

Clinging to the
