The Skit Guys – God’s Chisel

This video (God’s Chisel from The Skit Guys) was making the rounds on twitter this week and we were able to use it on Sunday morning at OBC. Normally we never use videos this long but the content, production and delivery was so powerful that we decided to go ahead with it. We are working through a chunk of 2 Peter that is focused on spiritual growth and the push on Sunday morning was that growth isn’t about perfection, it’s about journey. We are often critical about the lack of perceived growth in our lives because we are not perfect in self-control or goodness, etc. The point, however, is that if we are connected to Jesus (John 15) then our lives will bear fruit. Rather than being focused on the character trait we should be focused on our connection with Jesus.

We showed this video right at the end of Earl’s message and it worked beautifully – people laughed at the right spots, nodded in agreement, took deep breaths at the meaningful moments. The impact was significant. Lots of people asked if we could post the video for others to see.
