Pastor Mark has really been in the zone on his discipleship sermons. One of the questions to ponder today was “When was the last time you risked something that if God did not show up it would fail?” If your like me you design it so it will work whether God shows up or not; not exactly walking by faith and not by sight!
This morning was our 3rd time for Jesus Messiah (we run every new song on three successive Sundays to introduce it). The song is really growing on me, Brad did a great job of arranging it, so it would work for our congregation. From my observation this morning, the congregation has it down. It’s a great addition to those hard to find God in the Spotlight – Jesus songs.
I’m reminded this morning that serving is a gift from God, not something to endure. We finished Acts in the adult Sunday School class I lead; we’ve been at it for over a year. It’s been quite the journey. We will change the pace significantly next week when we start 1 Timothy.

doug,
i love the challenging question about risk and needing God to be in something or else it will fail. we call them venti dreams at our place (super sized, God-sized dreams). i really like to be in control of my life and make my own success (and failures as well - at least it is mine).
this is good stuff to ponder on a monday morning.
to Him who is able....
