Let's Take Time to Celebrate Life!!!!

Heading somewhere

I enjoyed the sermon immensely. The gist of it was that we are headed somewhere along with others and yet we are taking different paths to get to the same path. The pastor used the illustration of going to the zoo to bring his point across. He had trouble getting there and yet the bottom line was that he got there. His title for his sermon revolved around that concept. The scripture was from the last verses in Mark. The writer is sharing that there are people that seem to have knowledge of God without getting it in the same way that the disciples did. John blows the whistle on them. I look at diversity and I am glad that God can allow for differences in timing and approach. I left the discussion considering how we might be better speaking with conviction about Christ's love and how it meets our needs, trusting that our expression might lead others to change through the same love we are coming to know. As I thought about it, there are so many pet peeves that we bring to the church table. Jesus offers a banquet and I trust that in God's time we will enjoy the food that God has for us together.
