Attention Funnel: Good Things Becoming Bad Things – Trampoline, Skateboard, Snow, Diving
Introduction:
- Good things can quickly turn bad.
- This is something we know from experience… (Story from your own life).
- This can also be a way for us to understand sin. Sin is often taking something good and using it for the wrong purposes.
- It’s often not just “doing bad things,” but it is good desires that run wild. And go off the tracks.
- We could say this with what we have covered the past two weeks: comfort, and money.
- This week we will say the same thing about food (and many other categories of things we enjoy in this world)
Big Idea: Enjoy God’s gifts, but don’t worship them.
Main Points
- Food is a gift from God.
- We can turn food into a god.
- Idolatry is absurd and offensive to God.
- Fight back with fasting and feasting.
