Thanks for joining us today at Life Church, where we are one church meeting in multiple locations with a mission of leading people to become fully devoted followers of Christ.

Today we'll be joining our senior pastor, Craig Rochelle, as he takes a look at one of the most misused verses in the Bible and helps us to understand its true meaning in part one of his message, Twisted.

Hello and welcome to Twisted, the show where we reward the contestant who can best misuse scripture.

What about they want? Let's meet our contestants.

She's a known nonsense mother of three who believes she knows everything about the Bible. Welcome, hello!

Going up against her today is this confused man. Say hello to Doug.

I'm not really sure why I'm here. It's time for our first challenge. Take any verse out of context.

Helen.

John 1413, Jesus said, whatever you ask in His name, He will give to you. So if you don't get what you want, then that means that my faith is better than yours.

John 1413, just got Helen 14.13 points.

That brings us to our first break. But there'll be more Twisted. Same time, same channel.

As we start today at all of our churches, I want to take a moment to give God praise, glory and honor that at all of our life churches we're celebrating 1844 people being baptized.

We've had new life in Christ. Sins are forgiven. You are made new to every single one of you. Congratulations on your step of faith.

Jesus is real alive inside of you and we celebrate your baptism. We also celebrate this week we're launching four week life groups.

We're going to gather in homes and restaurants all over to get together to discuss this message series.

We believe that life change happens better in circles than it does on rows. And so your local pastor will tell you how do you get involved in four week discussion groups.

I believe it's going to be really significant in the lives of so many people.

Today we're starting a brand new message series and I want to start it with a story. This happened years and years ago when I was in college.

I was the only American on an all otherwise Australian tennis team. And the Aussies became my very best friends. I love these guys like they were brothers.

And they partied like nobody's business. Well joining into them I did my best to party like an Aussie until I came to the point where I had a massive life change.

And I went from being a wild party guy to being a Jesus follower overnight. And this really confused my teammates. They're like wait a minute.
