A Voice in the Wilderness

2020-06-17

Whats your story?

We will not hide them from their children, but tell to the coming generation the glorious deeds of the LORD, and his might, and the wonders that he has done. Psalm 78:4

I love a good story. Stories have captured my imagination since I was a young child. I still gravitate to the children’s section of any bookstore in search of a tale that will take me on an adventure.

The books of the bible are full of such stories. They are woven together as this magnificent tapestry portraying the amazing story of God and his people:  The goodness of creation, our rebellion and fall from grace, the Creator’s mighty acts of redemption and salvation, and ultimately the promise of a day when all will be restored.

There are heroes and villains, colorful characters, and plot twists. Some passages are epic and majestic in the telling. Others might appear to be minor sub plots. Together, they draw us into the story of God’s redeeming love.

Each of us has a story to tell. The story of how we came to be a follower of Jesus. Whether you are just at the beginning or nearing the end, it is your story. And isn’t our call to follow Jesus a great adventure…a story told in the living and giving of our lives?

So…What’s your story?

Blessings,

Matthew+

A word about giving

We recognize that there are a lot of folks who have been hit hard during this crisis and are grateful to the generosity of this community.

Some of you have asked what to do with your regular pledge and offering while we are not gathering together on Saturdays and Sundays. You may mail them to the church (we are picking up the mail every day) and we will put them in the offering plate and bless them during the service. You might also consider using bill-pay through you local bank if they offer that service.
