Ok, so I thought pastoring was full of drama!
This parenting thing is rather overwhelming!
Holly and I have spent all week in the Hospital with our little boy...
His little body has been sick for who knows how long...it took 5 days in the hospital to bring his nutrition levels up where they belong...He's much better now and very smiley!
Things have been so crazy since returning from Ethiopia I haven't even had a chance to blog my sermon notes from last Sunday...
Here's an overview from memory, definately not as detailed as usual:
(remember you can always get a CD of Sunday's sermon: sign-up in foyer)
The ABC's of God's Generous LOVE
A: Adoption
James 1:27, John 14:18
( I went on a passionate interlude regarding REDEMPTION...check out your Bible dict.)
B: Belonging
Membership, Baptism...Matthew 3
C: Calling
1 Corinthians 1:26-
The Highest Calling is LOVE
This Scripture sums up today's msg: 1 John 3...How great is the love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God!
Next time you face life's difficulties...Remember God's Generous Love...You are adopted, You Belong, You are called...such amazing purpose, hope, life!
I can hardly wait until that day God signs our final adoption papers and we enter eternity with HIM!
I was kind of on an ABC kick Sunday: Don't forget the ABC's of salvation:
A: admit your sin
B: Believe in Jesus as Savior: crucified and risen
C: Confess Him as LORD
Because of all the adoption drama: Rusty will be leading tomorrow's acts of kindness, Pastor Fowler will be preaching Sunday, and Pastor Short will be officiating George Hill's memorial service Monday...
God is so good to me! Surrounding me with such amazing HELP!
That cliche' really is true...TEAM...Together Everyone Accomplishes More!
