This Week’s Sermon: God Talks to Us
I’ve been doing a series—three sermons in which we get our info about God from two sources: SCRIPTURE and EXPERIENCE. Sermon three will be this Sunday: God Talks to Us.
I must admit, I wasn’t entirely satisfied with last week’s sermon. Not sure I got it across. But—I hadn’t slept the night before. Not a wink. It’s hard for me to get into a good sleep position with my wounded leg. So—no sleep.
I was so tired, I wasn’t sure how things had gone in the service. But I was checking the music on the recording last week—something I often do—and decided to also listen to my sermon, something I seldom do.
I was satisfied. The witness from the young man I quoted was as powerful as I had intended.
This week, you’ll get the third dose. You’ll then have what I consider three things we all must know about God.
My Class: The Resurrection
We’ll be talking about the resurrection.
I have a chapter in Discovering God on the resurrection.
Two questions we’ll discuss:
- If there were no resurrection, would there still be a church?
- If you had to give evidence for the resurrection to a non-believer, what would you say?
We’ll raise those questions in class this Sunday at 9:45 AM, followed by breakfast.
Breakfast This Sunday
It’s back to Winston! You may also bring something.
(What a great big breakfast we had last week!)
Listen—do come early to church to share this food and fellowship.
Breakfast at 10:30 AM.
Watching Online: A Quick Note
The service is looking good.
But Julian and Shannon must NOT share one microphone. You can’t hear them well enough. The problem: right now, we have only one mic for me and one for the singers. (Mary has a lapel mic.)
That must change—and it will, once the upcoming work is done. So, consider adding just a little bit to the dollar sign—enough for:
- Three microphone outlets on the post near the piano
- One new microphone
(Currently, we have long mic cables running around the piano, through the south transept, behind the organ, and to the amp in the little Tower Room. In other words, Jerry-rigged. I don’t know who Jerry is, but we are getting rid of his rigging!)
The Big Project—new sound booth, new cameras, moving all recording from the high media room to the sanctuary floor (which means complete sound and video rewiring)—may begin next week.
Our Special Offering: Thank You
I’m sure we’ve raised over $3,000 for flood victim relief.
Let us give thanks that we could help.
May the Lord use our gifts for those who are suffering.
Worship is such a joy. And God is so good. Come! Let us rejoice together.
God Bless—MB
