OMG!


Ok, I'll be the first to admit that I am not a fan of this acronym.  It totally makes me cringe because of the careless irreverence it expresses.  I'm pretty sure that if one of the ten commandments specifically states: Do not use the LORD your God’s name as if it were of no significance; the LORD won’t forgive anyone who uses his name that way., then it's probably safe to say that God's not too keen on our flippant use of His name.

So then you ask, why in the world is Victory Church using it as the title to their entire summer sermon series?!  The series image banner above certainly causes a few raised eyebrows.  I had that proven when a friend of mine happened to catch a glimpse of it when I was reading an email update from church.  I got an incredulous "what are you looking at?!" thrown at me.  :-)  It's supposed to be used as a tool to start conversation.  Mission accomplished.

Pastor Curt explains it a little more in depth in his blog post, but plain and simple, this series is digging deeper into discovering who God is.  We're exploring a different attribute of God each week.  So far we've learned how God is our Father, God is our Shepherd, and God is Indescribable.  The point is to really understand who God truly is.  The hope is that as we learn more and more about this great God of ours, that we'll come to know Him more personally.  And as we grow in our relationship with Him, we'll inevitably exclaim that He is MY God!!

Join us this Sunday at Penn Cinema theater in Lititz at 9:00am.  We'll be talking about how "My God is Love".  I can't wait!
