Here is the message

This slide was developed alongside a number of others to use in the first sermon message of Ignite (igniteMN.com). I took this image at dusk on Lake Calhoun in Minneapolis alongside some video work that was recorded so that the slides would correspond with the video introduction.

There was an opportunity for me to speak at Minnesota Teen Challenge one morning this week and I was excited to be able to do this. The message focused on the outcast nature of the man Zacchaeus was (in Luke 19:1-10) and the reality that Jesus walked through Jericho seeking him out.The message went over really well (there is audio of it at my blog). Below was the slide holding the main point of the whole message.

Our little buddy shortly after we had adopted him from the Animal Human Society. He was playing with some string while hiding in my school bag. Really a good looking cat. If you want to keep up with him check out his twitter account @CatMaximus
