A place for my thoughts and sermons.
“Choose the Good” is the next message in our series Following God. What does God want? Sacrifices that we can purchase? Does God want self serving actions? Or does God require something more from us? We explore what it takes when we are following God.
Our scripture readings for today come from Micah 6:1-8 and Matthew 5:1-12.
Our next message in 3 Simple Rules is “Do Good,” and is our second rule. Last week we discussed first doing no harm. But what is it really to do good? Good for ourselves? Or for others? Do we think about the good it does to us to do good for others? And do we keep Christ in mind is all that we do? Let us do no harm, do good, and love God.
Our scripture reading comes from Luke 6:27-38.
Today’s message is the first in the series 3 Simple Rules, based on the teaching of John Wesley. Our first rule is “Do No Harm.” What does it mean to harm others? Does it happen without us realizing? Why is this the first rule? How can we do a better job of not being a stumbling block to those seeking Christ? Let us do no have, do good, and love God.
Our scripture reading comes from Romans 14:13-23.
Today marks the beginning of our third installment of The Word in Song with “Hungry Heart.” What does your heart long for? What do you desire? It it good? Is it bad? Do we consider our intentions when we act? The intentions of others? What does God want? Find inspiration anywhere and everywhere, and hear the Word in song!
Our scripture reading comes from Jeremiah 17:9-14.
Our musical inspiration comes from “Hungry Heart” by Bruce Springsteen.
