Throughout this season of Lent we've been working together during our worship services to compile words and ideas to formulate our seven word "Confessions of Faith" or "Gospel message".
We came at it from the angle that someone comes up to you and says something like. "I know you are a Christian, and I've been wondering about it lately. In seven words or less tell me what you believe."
Below are the words that we came up with the last four weeks in worship. Use these. Come up with your own words. Be creative. Use colorful words. Express as much as you can in as few words as possible. You can come at it from all different angles. Keep in mind that this is a phrase or sentence that will clearly share the law (the need for the Gospel), and then the Gospel (Jesus suffered, crucified and risen).
When you get your sentences or phrases put together, send them to me. You can email them, text them, write them down on a piece of paper Facebook message them, whatever. Don't just tell them to me, because I won't remember them when I need to write them down.
Next Wednesday I will share all of them with you. Don't worry, I won't use your name unless you want me to.
Thanks for playing along everyone! I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did!
