Reflections From Sunday Evening

Who would have thought a sermon series on tv game shows would create such buzz? Glad it did and trust people will continue to talk and more importantly be increasingly aware of God being involved in every dimension of our lives.
Here is a little re-cap.
Let's Make a Deal -- Jacob says to God "if you will ---- then I will....." We'd be better off not trying to bargain the terms of our relationship with the Lord.
Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? -- perhaps the better question - What must I do to inherit eternal life? -- true riches are experienced in relationship to Christ.
A Minute to Win It -- God is continually intersecting our lives and we seek to recognize and respond to the presence of the Lord in all of culture and interactions with others.
The Price is Right -- Come buy, without money! -- The Showcase of Faith includes grace, mercy, pardon & forgiveness, virtue, fruitfulness and eternal life -- the cost - zero -- the cost - everything - faith, trust, commitment, love and life.
From here we will moving into a series on "Parenting." Hopefully there will be something for everyone in this three week series during september with a special emphasis on that season of life where we are raising children.
Then we will do a series on "Balance." We'll talk about finding balance in how we use our time and especially find some important ideas about financial balance.
In November we will do a series on "Healthy Church." Details to come!
December will be a time to look at "Polaris" - the North Star.
In January our series will be "I Believe in God But....."
I'd love to get more "previews" out so people will be able to do some prep work and hopefully get more out of our worship services. It has been a busy and fast summer. Looking forward to a few days off now. Then ready for Fall. Good things are happening. I pray they happen in your life!
It's been a good day. I hope you've had a good day too.
