May 13 Mother's Day - Honoring Mom
Matthew 15 3-9
The older I get the more I
appreciate my mom. I appreciate her wisdom, her perseverance, her hard work and
sacrifice. I appreciate the prayer and discipline I received growing up. I
always thought I appreciated my mom, that I loved her and honored her. The older
I get the more I appreciate her. Maybe for you that wasn't the case. Your mom
maybe wasn't there for you or didn't know what to do with you. Maybe she was a
negative example for you. Maybe you are working on forgiving her. But the Bible
says, "Honor your…mother so that it will go well with you." For some
of us that is easy. For others of us that is hard. Easy or hard, God commands
us to do it. So this Mother's Day we are going to talk about honoring Mom. Why
do we do it and how do we do it? Regardless of where you are coming from, it
will change you for the better and bless her and that pleases God.
May 20 – The Big “To Do”
Philippians 1
Christ-followers have a very
big "to do". For some reason Jesus has determined that his message
would come to through human messengers. The invitation to know him would be a
personal invitation. In the early days of Christianity a pattern was
established that continues today. A messenger comes into a community and shares
the message of life and salvation in Christ. Those who receive and believe that
message become partners in it. So there are certain people who broadcast it and
then the local church takes that message deeper into its community and supports
the ministry of those who spread it wide. This is a very big 'to do' but it is
at the heart of who we are. This week we want to begin to prepare for the
annual meeting on June 10 and begin to catch the vision of Christ for his
church. It all circles around this thing the Bible calls, "the
gospel".
May 26 – Pure Joy, by Matt Pfadenhauer, Youth Minister
James 1:2-12
As we walk through
life, Christ has called us to walk in service to him. As we continue following Christ we pick up
the pace and soon the race is on. While the race seems easy going at first soon
hurdles and other obstacles appear and cause us to stumble. At this point it is easy for us to get
discouraged and to drop out of the race.
God calls us to find joy in our struggles and to persevere, promising us
that the end reward is worth the effort of the race.
