The Dates and The Dash | Pastor Mike Mannes

The Dates and the Dash | Southside Church On a tombstone, there are two dates. And a dash in between. The dates are fixed. But the dash? That’s your life. And it hangs in the balance. The moment Jesus saves you, your eternity is secure and your sins are forgiven. But what happens between now and then is still being written. And Pastor Mike makes the case that the quality of your dash comes down to two words. Yes, Lord. Drawing from Acts chapter 10, the story of Peter and Cornelius, and the contrast between Peter and Jonah, this message is honest, funny, and surprisingly personal. It tackles the culture we were raised in, the flesh we fight every day, and the revolutionary invitation Jesus keeps putting in front of us. Not just to get to heaven someday, but to live real and eternal life, more and better than we could ever dream, right now. The answer to that invitation is either oh no, Lord. Or yes, Lord. There’s nothing in between.
