                                    <content:encoded><![CDATA[The Advent readings remind us of a difficult truth. Jesus will come again on the last day and we will be judged. We don&rsquo;t know the time, but we know God&rsquo;s mercy is seen in the Old Testament invitation to come to the mountain of the Lord. When we come to that mountain, we see Jesus giving His life for us so that through faith, we no longer fear the hour of judgment. Today we rejoice in the hour of salvation found in Jesus.
	Today also challenges us to wait and prepare ourselves&nbsp;to celebrate&nbsp;Christ's birth in a few short weeks. The coming of Advent also reminds us to wait and prepare for God's coming kingdom when Christ's love will reign supreme.&nbsp;Today's service will "hang the greens" and decorate our Sanctuary for the Christmas season, while teaching us about the symbolism we find in the festive decorations that will adorn our building &hellip; and our worship.]]></content:encoded>

Jacob wrestled with God and then confessed, &ldquo;For I have seen God face to face, and yet my life has been delivered.&rdquo; We see God&rsquo;s face today and are delivered through the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus. When we depart today, we will be reminded of that loving face with the words, &ldquo;The Lord bless you and keep you. The Lord make his face shine upon you and be gracious to you.&rdquo;]]></content:encoded>

Ruth cherished her family relationship with her mother-in-law, Naomi, and followed her back to Naomi&rsquo;s former home in Bethlehem. Because of this family relationship, Ruth would say, &ldquo;Your people shall be my people, and your God my God.&rdquo; Today God continues to work in Christian families that we might continue to remember Jesus and give Him all thanks and praise.]]></content:encoded>

And yet, John understood that his importance paled in comparison to the One who was coming to save the world from sin, evil, and eternal death. Instead of pointing to himself as God&rsquo;s special representative, John kept pointing away from himself to Jesus.

	What about the other 8,199,999,999 people? &ldquo;For God so loved THE WORLD, that He gave His only Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life.&rdquo; (John 3:16) Some of those people are sitting next to you and in front of you and behind you. Some of those people are at home, or live in your neighborhood, or work across from you. Each one is important to God, and you and I get to be the ones who share His love in Jesus with them at every opportunity.]]></content:encoded>

	There is a reason God gave the first three Commandments prior to giving the final seven Commandments: only when we are properly aligned in our vertical relationship with God can we hope to live in helpful ways in our horizontal relationships with others.

	Instead of seeking self-esteem, God would love for us to receive the gift of &ldquo;Christ-esteem.&rdquo; Our value before God is not based upon what we do or how we look or what we say; our value before Him is determined by the price He was willing to pay to buy us back as His own &ndash; the life of His one and only Son.
	Live for an Audience of One . . . you already know where you stand with Him!]]></content:encoded>

	We often wonder if how we are living will be satisfactory, will be enough, to gain us entrance into God&rsquo;s presence. Nope. The only way through the narrow door is to drop it all and let Jesus be enough . . . because He is!]]></content:encoded>

What an incredible gift! Through Jesus&rsquo; life, death and resurrection, our ultimate citizenship is in heaven. In Him we have been placed on the narrow road to life.
	There is an alternate road for all who find the narrow road not to their satisfaction. It promises personal freedom and unconstrained expression. Many people travel this road, but its only destination is the middle of nowhere. 
	God wants all to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth. He doesn&rsquo;t desire that anyone travel the road to nowhere. Our job? Be available to point them to God&rsquo;s fork to life!]]></content:encoded>

                                    <content:encoded><![CDATA[Hakuna matata? If you knew Swahili, or if you have seen the movie The Lion King, you know what these words mean. They mean, &ldquo;No worries.&rdquo; And even if you know what the words mean, that doesn&rsquo;t mean that you have incorporated that meaning into your daily life. As a matter of fact, most of us are probably way too familiar with the opposite of that phrase: There ARE worries!
	Jesus meets our worries head on with these powerful words today in the Gospel reading: &ldquo;Fear not, little&nbsp;flock, for&nbsp;it is your Father's good pleasure to give you&nbsp;the kingdom.&rdquo; And when we come to grips with the reality that God has given us the kingdom, then &ldquo;hakuna matata&rdquo; is a wonderful phrase!]]></content:encoded>

                                    <content:encoded><![CDATA[Contentment is a slippery fish. Just when you think you have a hold on it, it jumps out of your hands. In our Scripture readings for today, the Holy Spirit alerts us to the dangers of seeking contentment anywhere but in a relationship with God. The things of this world will pass away; God&rsquo;s love for us in Jesus will last forever.
	The last two of the 10 Commandments don&rsquo;t seem very impressive. Don&rsquo;t covet the stuff and the people that belong to someone else? It turns out, however, that coveting is a slippery slope which can cause us to fall into all sorts of other dangers. &ldquo;On guard!&rdquo; people of God! Find your satisfaction and contentment in Jesus, and don&rsquo;t get caught on the slippery slope of coveting.]]></content:encoded>

                                    <content:encoded><![CDATA[At our Wednesday evening Prayer Nights (Labor Day &ndash; Memorial Day), the participants spend their time responding to a few Scriptural invitations: 1) Jesus words in Matthew 11:28 &ndash; &ldquo;Come to Me, all who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.&rdquo; 2) The apostle Peter&rsquo;s words in 1 Peter 5:6,7 &ndash; &ldquo;Humble yourselves, therefore, under the mighty hand of God so that at the proper time He may exalt you, casting all your anxieties on Him, because He cares for you.&rdquo; And 3) The apostle Paul&rsquo;s words from Colossians 4:2 &ndash; &ldquo;Continue steadfastly in prayer, being watchful in it with thanksgiving.&rdquo;
	One of the results of &ldquo;being watchful&rdquo; is becoming aware of the fact that sometimes God wants to use us in answer to our own prayers! As we submit our prayers to Him and watch how He works, we can be ready to be used by Him as a part of His answer. There are many things that only God can do; but there are some things God can do through us.]]></content:encoded>

If you try to say the first part of it, you might start tapping your feet to a familiar jazz tune! And that&rsquo;s fine! But there are also some other good things that come from that rhythm.
	The Rhythm of Faith . . it&rsquo;s what happens as we receive from God and then respond in love and service to others. By His grace, God has declared us to BE His, to belong to Him. And because we are His, we get to DO the things which make that known to the world.]]></content:encoded>

While we might not be worthy of His love, He still loves us! He proved it when He sent His Son into the world to die for each and every one of us.
	Empowered by the indwelling of the Holy Spirit, our responses to God&rsquo;s love for us in Jesus can be bold and loving. Just as God is no respecter of persons in the sense that all are equal in His eyes, we can learn to view people in the same way. And, not only see them as equally loveable, but say and do those things which show God&rsquo;s love in practical ways.]]></content:encoded>

To prepare a place for the crown of His creation who would enter the scene on the 6th Day . . . man and woman! All things prior to the creation of man and woman were created FOR man and woman! And since that time of that day, God has been hyper-focused on His relationship with us . . .
	So much so that He was not going to let our sin keep us separate from Him forever, but would provide a Way back to Him through the gift of His Son. Today we thank God the Father for the gift of God the Son whose work on our behalf was delivered to us through God the Holy Spirit. All of God for all of us . . . always!]]></content:encoded>

                                    <content:encoded><![CDATA[The Scripture is clear: &ldquo;No one can say &lsquo;Jesus is Lord&rsquo; except in the Holy Spirit&rsquo;&rdquo; (1 Corinthians 12:3) On this Pentecost Sunday, we thank our Almighty God for bringing us to faith in Jesus so that we can receive the forgiveness of all of our sin and the gift of eternal life. None of that would have been possible if the Holy Spirit had not intervened in our lives.
	The Scripture is also clear in this: &ldquo;Or&nbsp;do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God?&nbsp;You are not your own,&nbsp;&nbsp;for you were bought with a price.&nbsp;So glorify God in your body.&rdquo; (1 Corinthians 6:19-20) Not only did the Holy Spirit bring us to faith, but He is also always present with us to enable us to live that faith.
	On this Pentecost Sunday, we give thanks for the presence of the Holy Spirit in our lives!]]></content:encoded>

                                    <content:encoded><![CDATA[The official celebration of the ascension of Jesus back to the right hand of His Father was this past Thursday. The Scriptures tell us that Jesus met with His disciples for 40 days after His rising from the dead, after which time He fantastically and miraculously ascended back to heaven.
	Since we don&rsquo;t have a Thursday evening Ascension Service, we get to celebrate that event on this Seventh Sunday of Easter &ndash; the last Sunday of Easter in the Church Year prior to diving into the Season of Pentecost. But let&rsquo;s not rush things . . . let&rsquo;s let God&rsquo;s Word regarding Jesus&rsquo; ascension affirm His love for us and motivate us for living and loving boldly.]]></content:encoded>

                                    <content:encoded><![CDATA[In a couple of weeks, the &ldquo;HE IS RISEN&rdquo; parament on the altar will be replaced. The Season of Easter is soon coming to an end, and the long Season of Pentecost will soon be upon us. The temptation for us as we make the transition out of the Season of Easter is the same temptation we have when moving from the Season of Christmas to the Season of Epiphany: we can leave it in the past because it will come around again. However, there is a huge reality we must never forget no matter what Season of the Church Year we are celebrating: Jesus IS risen! That is not past-tense, but present-tense. Jesus lives! And He lives in us for two very specific purposes: 1) To give us new and forever life; and 2) To use us to help others have new and forever life. Like Frank Sinatra sang, &ldquo;You can&rsquo;t have one without the other.&rdquo;]]></content:encoded>

Also among us are those who have lost their mothers to death. May God provide you with comfort as you weep, and amongst the tears may the memories bring a smile to your face. And finally, also among us are those who desire to be mothers but have not yet had that opportunity. May God give you grace, and may you continue to trust Him to give you all that you need in this life and in the life to come.]]></content:encoded>

                                    <content:encoded><![CDATA[In our Baptisms, God said &ldquo;Yes!&rdquo; to us. He placed His name upon us, forgave all our sin, and made us heirs of His eternal kingdom. On Confirmation Sunday, we join with our Confirmand to say &ldquo;Yes!&rdquo; to God. Because of all He has done for us in Jesus, and because He has brought us to faith in Jesus through the Holy Spirit, we respond with a commitment to live for Him in all we think, say and do. Congratulations to Graden for making it through the torture of Pastor John&rsquo;s Two-Year Confirmation Class☺.]]></content:encoded>
