The Gospel of God - Grace Is Greater - Part X - Romans Series THE GOSPEL OF GOD - GRACE IS GREATER - PART X - ROMANS SERIES Good morning Life Fellowship. Please join me in a word of prayer. Father, there are these certain moments in life where we just need to pause before you and remember that we are part of something so much bigger then meets the eye. And right now I just thank you that here we sit as a church but we don’t sit here on an island all by ourselves; rather the message that is presented, the worship that is declared, the praises that are offered up to you, the lives that are changed, is something that happens not only here at Life Fellowship but throughout the world. And we are so thankful that we are one church connected to many churches that comprise The Church. God, we just want to say thank you. Thank you that we can align in spite of so many differences on the edges. We thank you that at the heart, at the core there is a common belief that Jesus died for our sins, rose again, and by faith and trust in His grace we can experience forgiveness of our sins and eternal life. And Lord, we exalt in that. We relish the opportunity to say thank you. And God I pray this morning as a pastor serving amongst other pastors in this community, I pray you will be with our local church leaders in our local churches and help us as a family of churches to be salt and light in the community. Lord, I know that it is not my role to go around and be the moral police of Lake Norman; rather it is to be salt and light and to live and show why this message that we so much believe in is worth considering, and is worth believing. May we share it humbly, may we live it authentically, and may we be the kind of church amongst other churches whereby we work together so that the community could not imagine being without the churches, because the churches care for, impact, pray for, serve and make a difference. God, be with Pastor Steven Furdick at Elevation , with Pastor Mike Moses at Lake Forest, with Bobby Blanton at Lake Norman Baptist Church, with Pastor Mike at The Cove, with Pastor Farrell at Grace Covenant, and with Naeem at Mosaic. And Lord be with all the other pastors that can rally and acknowledge the death, burial and resurrection. I pray that you will be with those pastors, protect them, unify them and help us all to make much of you. In Jesus’ name. Amen. You can see that I finally had the opportunity to wear my Munster shirt, right? I loved ‘The Munsters.’ Did any of you like ‘The Munsters’ when you were growing up? There are a few of you. Give it up for Herman or Grandpa. ‘The Munsters’ was one of those programs that I thought was cool. Some of you probably thought they were just creepy, but I liked ‘The Munsters,’ ‘Tales from the Crypt’ and ‘Twilight Zone.’ Those programs just kind of drew me in. Now when people see Herman Munster here on my shirt, they may think this is Frankenstein. But this is not Frankenstein. Dr. Frankenstein was supposedly the one Page 1 of 12 pages 4/2//2017 THE GOSPEL OF GOD - GRACE IS GREATER - PART X - ROMANS SERIES who created the monster in Mary Shelley’s great novel that came out in 1818, nearly 200 years ago. And Mary Shelley’s novel depicts a monster very much different from Herman Munster of ‘The Munsters.’ Herman Munster had a life and a family. He was just a good old boy. Dr. Victor Frankenstein in the novel was the creator who made the monster. So the monster is not Frankenstein; the scientist or the doctor is the one who has the name of Frankenstein. Now Mary Shelley wrote one of the greatest novels in all of literature. She began penning it at the age of eighteen and she finished it when she was nineteen. It was published when she was just twenty years old. It is gothic in its features, but what you have is this story is there is this great scientist playing with experiments. He dreams that he can create a human, and while he is working with different anatomical parts he creates this being. And when he sees what he has created, the color of it, the eighty foot size of it, he is repulsed. He is shocked that he has made a monster and he is torn up about what he has done. So he absolutely rejects his creation. Now the monster in the midst of this rejection feels isolated, lonely, unwanted, unloved, unaccepted and uncared for. The monster in referring to himself uses words like monster, creature and wretch, the type of language that he feels because his creator wants nothing to do with him. He even describes himself as ‘the atom of your labor’ to his creator. All he wants is a soulmate. He says to Dr. Victor Frankenstein, “Please just create a partner for me. I just need one person. I am lonely. Just give me a co-hart for life.’ Finally he gets Dr. Frankenstein to agree, and the scientist starts a procedure, but then he changes his mind and all hope is lost for the monster. So the monster gets very angry and resentful and he seeks to get revenge on his creator. He strives to get revenge by going to great lengths and taking Dr. Frankenstein’s loved ones away from him. And when it is all said and done, you have this gothic, dark story of this scientist whose creation doesn’t turn out like he wants and as a result the monster turns and rebels against his creator. When we stop and think about this story, one thing that I can say is that sadly many people view God like the monster would view Victor Frankenstein. ‘Why did you create me? I feel so unwanted. I feel so unloved. I feel so lonely in this world. I feel like I had no choice but to be made, and I have to live here in this filth pot. Why don’t you show up and do something? Why don’t you give me a companion, a relationship? Why don’t you meet my needs? Why do you reject me? But I can tell you that there is a big difference between the scientist, Victor Frankenstein, and God. There may be some similarities like both create, but there is a Page 2 of 12 pages 4/2//2017 THE GOSPEL OF GOD - GRACE IS GREATER - PART X - ROMANS SERIES difference because God is not an ungracious God. Unlike Victor Frankenstein, God pursues those whom He creates. God invites us into companionship so that we are not lonely. He hardwired us with a purpose. He loves us and He is a benevolent God. So when we think about the story of us, the story we find ourselves in, the narrative that is being constructed, we can look at the Scriptures to see a story that unfolds like this: There is creation, a fall, redemption and then restoration. There are 1,189 chapters in the Bible and you can look at Genesis Chapters 1 and 2 and see a creative God creating His creation. And in Chapter 3 there is something that goes awry. Mankind slips up so to speak and falls into sin. And there are some similarities at that point to Shelley’s Frankenstein. You have a creator and you have a fall. But the similarities stop there. What makes the Bible so much better, what makes the drama so much more suspenseful is there is creation and there is fall, but it doesn’t stop with the fall. It doesn’t stop with the creator rejecting what he created; rather in the Scriptures the story goes on. Like the monster, all of us have fallen. All of us can recognize there is something broken, something undone within us. Yet the drama of Scripture, the story that we find ourselves in, the narrative goes on and now after the fall we have a redeeming God who is the great hound of heaven in pursuit of us. So you have creation, fall and then redemption. And then ultimately there is restoration. It is a beautiful story, and as I was studying this week in the book of Romans I thought Romans has that fourfold drama as well. In Chapter 1 we see the creative God. And then we see that mankind has definitely fallen before its creator. Then we see there is this God that is a redeemer. He has given mankind a solution, an antidote. And then ultimately there is the zenith reaching its apex, its consummation standpoint in glorification and restoration. That is the story we find ourselves in. So all of here are at least at stage one. We have been created, right? And Romans Chapter 1 through 3 has shown us that we are even at stage two because all of us have fallen. And in our fallen state the question is what do we do? Do we view God as Victor Frankenstein? Do we reject Him? Do we say that God has rejected us and doesn’t care about us? Or do we go on and find more to the story? For more of the story I would invite you to turn Romans Chapter 5.

    About Gilbert & Sullivan The Gilbert & Sullivan comic operas were composed between 1871 and 1896 in Victorian London. Their sparkling musical Gilbert & Sullivan Austin scores by Sir Arthur Sullivan and their dazzling lyrics by Sir William S. Gilbert have kept them popular throughout the English-speaking world ever since. They’ve been called the presents “Saturday Night Live” of their day for their satiric appeal, but they have proven universal and timeless in their comic and ironic treatment of human foibles through their “airy persifl age” and “innocent merriment.” And the popular appeal of the music has endeared them to millions who cherish “laughing song and merry dance.” They are arguably the most popular “musical comedies” ever written for the stage. Our Mission Entertaining and educating Texas audiences since 1976, Gilbert and Sullivan Austin is dedicated to spreading the topsy-turvy humor and joyful music of W. S. Gilbert and Arthur Sullivan.
