Sermon text: 2 Samuel 7:1-17
- Family Fun night
- E100 Timeline – Becky and youth
- Read 2 Samuel 7:1-17
- Inspiration for sermons can come from some pretty odd places
- MC Hammer – You Can't Touch This
- Starts - “My, my, my music hits me so hard – makes me say, 'O, my Lord' – Thank you for blessing me – with a mind to rhyme and two hype feet.”
- Goes on to say, “you can't touch this” a hundred times
- My favorite line of the song is when MC Hammer even advertised the weight loss advantages to his awesome music, “this is it, for a winner, dance to this, and you're gonna get thinner.”
- And then at a couple of points after telling us how awesome he is, MC Hammer just says, “Stop, Hammer time.”
- This is where he busts out his best dance moves and shows everyone how awesome he is.
- I don't know why, but this is where my mind went to when reading our text this week.
- Story about David
- David was a righteous King of Israel and a biblical giant
- In our passage it appears that God shows up to tell David, “Stop: God time”
- And then this is the heretical part – I picture God doing an awesome dance – saying look how awesome I am
- The difference is that God really is awesome and MC Hammer isn't so much
- Before you think I am too heretical for talking about MC Hammer, don't forget another one of his hits, Pray – he says, “we got to pray, just to make it today.”
- Story about David
- Starts - “My, my, my music hits me so hard – makes me say, 'O, my Lord' – Thank you for blessing me – with a mind to rhyme and two hype feet.”
