God took all of the bad things in Joseph's life and used them for the good of Joseph and the good of all the people.  Through Joseph being sold into slavery in Egypt, God saved thousands from famine.  Joseph was given the opportunity to shine for his amazing God to the Egyptians.  The Lord worked through the results of sin to create glorious results.  We can watch our lives and see how God's hand is with us.  How he takes a situation we can't figure out and shows us how H

Anticipating Worship: Twenty-first Sunday after Pentecost, October 13, 2024—FOLLOWERS OF CHRIST MAINTAIN PROPER PRIORITIES

Image
People think that establishing priorities is about ranking things in order of importance. But it is more than that. We do not have unlimited time and energy. So, establishing priorities enables us to say “no” to things that might be good yet not truly important. Without proper priorities, one inevitably will pursue that which is nice while downplaying that which is needed. Throughout Scripture, believers are urged to prioritize. It is the heart of the First Commandment: “You shall have no other gods before me” (Exodus 20:3). Jesus calls for prioritization when he says, “Seek first his kingdom and his righteousness” (Matthew 6:33). Good news: followers of Christ maintain proper priorities. Even better news: followers of Christ receive his forgiveness for all the times their priorities have been improper. Want to hear more? See you this weekend: Saturday at 5:15 p.m. • Sunday at 8 a.m. • Sunday at 10:30 a.m. **Please remember that during renovation, worship is held in the school commons.

Anticipating Worship: Twentieth Sunday after Pentecost, October 6, 2024—FOLLOWERS OF CHRIST KNOW HOW TO LOVE THEIR FAMILIES

Image
Love can cause harm. Consider the wife whose husband wants little to do with church. She loves him and does not want to upset him. So, when her husband wants her and the children to stay home Sunday morning, she complies without protest. That wife’s love for her husband hurts him, her children, and herself. Or consider the father who loves his child so much that he gives the child everything that the child asks for. That father’s love is toxic. It is shaping that child to be a selfish, entitled adult. In our families, it is not enough that there is love. We need to rightly love, to love in a way that leads to blessings for those we claim to love. This illustrates the need for followership. In Jesus, we see perfect, self-sacrificial love. Jesus loves us as we are. He also loved us too much to leave us as we are. So, in love, he gave his life up so that we might be holy and blameless. His love for us shapes the way we love our spouse, our children, our parents. Today we see that follower
