Home

Today we worshiped at Home.

 
We both got up feeling sick this morning, me with a cough I couldn’t control, and maybe just a bit more overwhelmed by grandchildren than we are comfortable to admit. We spent some time beyond our normal devotional time listening to sermons online.

One pastor told the story of Moses’ birth as if it was in our time. He made reference to something in Moses’ life as being “from the Get Go,” which puts a different spin on the bull rush story.

Another sermon referred to our “winning is everything” mentality. He reminded that as followers of Christ we are called to be servants. I pray that I can be a worthy servant.

I read in a devotional this morning a poem by Kenneth N. Taylor called “The Cord.” It related how the things in our lives work when the cord is plugged in, the great power of the cord. The important part is that we have the greater power plugged in, that love, joy, etc. grow strong in us.

 
Our prayer for the Church:
Lord, we pray we all take up that greater power and grow strong in and for You. We give You thanks for the myriad of ways that You get Your message across to us. In Jesus’ Name. Amen.
