Sermon Illustrations

Illustration: Before making Sony one of the most consistently inventive companies in the world, founder Masaru Ibuka suffered a number of setbacks. Remember the electronic seat warmer? Or the first electronic rice cooker? These were from the same mind that dreamed up the pocket-size transistor radio, the VCR, and the Walkman. But even Ibuka recognizes the limits of high technology: "We will learn that computers, amazing as they are, still cannot come close to being as effective as human beings. A computer isn’t creative on its own, because it is programmed to behave in a predictable way. Creativity comes from looking for the unexpected and stepping outside your own expedience. Computers simply cannot do that."

2. Just as computers cannot compare to human being when it comes to creativity, no one can compare to Jesus when it come to faithfulness.
