INTRO: Movie Hitch w/ Will Smith
scene near end of movie where he goes to talk to Eva Mendes’s Character
Because he is love struck he can’t get a word our straight
She walks past him, and down the stairs
She says, perhaps he was right ... perhaps they should just live their own lives
He says, "what if I want an extraordinary life?"
To Hitch an extraordinary life is to be with Eva -- Hitch is in love
What about us, do we want to live ordinary lives, or extraordinary lives? Even as Christians we can live ordinary lives.
For Hitch an extraordinary life was to fall in love,
For us, and extraordinary life is to be in tune with God
READ: Acts: 2:14-41
Peter’s Speech
Speaking different languages, prophesying, visions, dream
Hearing God speak through you
Signs and wonders: evidence of God at work
Jesus: Died, was buried, rose from the grave
Out motivation to live an extraordinary life
David is still in his grave
Muhammad is still in his grave
Buddha
etc.
Jesus is alive and living in us
What will you choose?
An ordinary life or and extraordinary life?
