Welcome to Agincourt Church this morning! We're so glad you have joined us today.

See below for a short article from Pastor Jonathan, teaching notes and announcements.

Welcome to ‘RESET’, a pre-summer series designed to help you hit the ‘RESET’ button!

There comes a moment in everyone’s life where they have to hit the ‘RESET’ button. Life has a way of getting out-of-control and sliding us into places where we nd ourselves threadbare, spent and broken! Fortunately, God knew that humans, while made in God’s image, had this tendency [because of our brokenness] to run at paces and occupy spaces that were harmful to us and those around us. Moved with compassion for His creation, God provided an opportunity to hit the ‘RESET’ button in many areas of our lives:

- Our boundaries
- Our margin
- Our blame game
- Our route or direction

As a spiritual community let’s lean in and allow God’s Spirit to lead us in a series that can free and restore us so that we can focus on KNOWING GOD, LOVING PEOPLE and IMPACTING OUR CITY together!

Lead Pastor

Have you ever played
the BLAME GAME?

“Now the serpent was more crafty than any of the wild animals the Lord God had made. He said to the woman, “Did God REALLY say, ‘You must not eat from any tree in the garden’?”

~ Genesis 3:1

1. The BLAME GAME
starts with an ATTITUDE

2. The BLAME GAME
proceeds with a LIE

“You will not certainly die,” the serpent said to the woman. “For God knows that when you eat from it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.”

~Genesis 3:4-5

He denies the
GOODNESS of God.

3. The BLAME GAME gives way to an act of the WILL

“When the woman saw that the fruit of the tree was good for food and pleasing to the eye, and also desirable for gaining wisdom, she took some and ate it. She also gave some to her husband, who was with her, and he ate it.“

~ Genesis 3:6

“No reserve, no retreat, no regrets.”
~ William Borden

4. The BLAME GAME
ends as a TRAP

“Then the man and his wife heard the sound of the Lord God as he was walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and they HID from the Lord God among the trees of the garden. But the Lord God called to the man, ‘Where are you?’”

Genesis 3:8-9

1. We are now hiders
2. We are now blamers

“The man said, “The WOMAN you put here with me — SHE gave me some fruit from the tree, and I ate it.”

~ Genesis 3:12

“The SERPENT deceived me, and I ate.”

~ Genesis 3:13

“If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.”

~ 1 John 1:9 [KJV]

Almighty God, our heavenly Father:
We have sinned against you,
through our own fault,
in thought, and word, and deed,
and in what we have left undone.
For the sake of your Son
our Lord Jesus Christ,
forgive us all our offences;
and grant that we may serve you
in newness of life,
to the glory of your Name. Amen
