Easter April 8. Invite people to church with you.
I believe that we need to laugh a lot.
We live in a crazy world with so many problems, that we need to lighten up once in a while and just laugh.
So in case you haven’t laughed much this week, I want to share with you 20 */Ways to Maintain A Healthy Level Of Insanity/*.
Pastor Dan emailed these to me a few weeks ago.
Actually, I won’t read all 20.
I’ll just give you 10 Ways to Maintain A Healthy Level Of Insanity.

At Lunch Time, Sit In Your Parked Car With Sunglasses on and point a Hair Dryer at Passing Cars.

*Turn in your Bibles to John 4.* We’re getting ready for Easter by studying the Gospel of John.
Not all of John by any means –just a few key characters and themes.
We began by learning how to strengthen our faith.
Faith is the key theme of John’s Gospel.
He says in /20:30 "//Jesus did many other miraculous signs in the presence of his disciples, which are not recorded in this book.
//But these are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his name."/
Life and faith are two key themes in John.
Do you want life?
Then believe in Jesus!
Not in some superficial sense but in the sense of stepping out and following Christ with your life!
I showed you the video clip of Indiana Jones where he takes the leap of faith over this chasm to get to the chalice that holds the living water that will cure his father.
Remember that?
He takes the step of faith and he discovered that the support was there!
That’s what faith is, John says.
You stop standing at the edge just talking about it, but you take the step!
You do it!
Faith is more than talk.
Faith is more than feelings.
It’s something you do!
I ask you: Have you stepped out and really started to follow Jesus?
We used the acrostic GROW…
Get new habits.
Relate to new friends.
Own up to your struggles.
Walk with Christ.
I’m excited that many of you are attending the SOD this month.
Our classes have almost doubled because so many of you are attending.
And it’s not too late to join if you want.
You’ll see the classes listed in your program: a parenting class, an OT class, and a life of Jesus class.
It’s a great opportunity for you to get new habits, relate to new friends, and grow!
That’s how we strengthen our faith!
And then we looked at John 3 – a man named Nicodemus.
Old Nic has his act together!
He’s cultured.
He’s successful.
He probably has his nice wife and nice kids and three-camel garage.
He’s moral and meticulous and erudite!
And Jesus basically says, “Nic, you’re dead!
You’ve got no pulse!
I can give you life!”
So we talked about our spiritual pulse.
You may be like Nic.
You look good.
You’re successful.
But maybe you’re spiritually dead.
Jesus said, “You must be born again!”
Just as you were born once into physical life you can be born again into spiritual life!
How’s your pulse?
So –as we get ready for Easter, let’s strengthen our faith.
Let’s check our pulse.
And thirdly, today, let’s drink deep!
*Take out your outlines that are part of your program and turn to John 4, if you haven’t already.*
In John 4 Jesus meets a woman.
He meets a woman at a well.
In those days they didn’t have indoor plumbing so they couldn’t just turn on the faucet and get water.
They had to go to a well someplace and get the water in a bucket.
When you think about it, water is amazing.
For one thing…
*A.
Amazing Qualities of Water*
* *
* 1.
The basic requirement of life.*
I got online this week and learned a few things about water.
I think most of us know that water is essential to all known forms of life.
Without water, you can’t have life!
Not only that but water has the amazing quality that it…
* 2.
Expands when frozen.*
Water actually gets lighter when it freezes into ice.
Think of that!
