Here’s a quick look ahead to Sunday . . .
I’ve spent the week working on a message for Sunday from I Timothy 1.12-17 and Luke 15.1-10. We’ll be talking about anxiety, worry and where to go when life seems to be out of control. This is the second sermon is a series titled Words of Wisdom which offers some Biblical insights into some common problems we face in life. The messages are available for listening and download at www.gcfi.com.
It has been a great week . . . ministry has not always been fun or easy, but it has remained fulfilling. My conversations with so many people have been such a gift to me. Sometimes you can just feel God using you in the expansion of his kingdom in the hearts and minds of his people. That’s an awesome thing.
With the week behind me, the weekend ahead will be focused on my family . . .
Tonight, Kyra and I will watch the last of three old movies that we got from Blockbuster’s Total Access plan earlier in the week. We’ve knocked out two 1940’s classics: Kiss of Death and Laura. The last movie on tap tonight: Alfred Hitchcock’s Rear Window.
Tomorrow night, we are taking the kids to McDonald’s for dinner and then we might go to Barnes and Noble to let Max and Sydney make use of a gift card that turned up in Kyra’s desk from some special occassion long ago 🙂
Saturday, I’m going to plug away at some work in Sydney’s bedroom. I’ll finally get the old wardrobe that I’ve been antiquing for her into her room and then we’ll do some carpet cleaning. I think we are also supposed to help a friend do some moving, but I’ll have to check with Kyra about that one.
Jesus has been very real to me this week. I have found myself confronted with the resurrected Lord so many times. At the end of the day and when I’m pressed to get down to the simple realities of my life, I’m always left with Jesus and it is that simple reality that changes so much of everything!
Something from Paul to end the week . . .
Here’s a trustworthy saying that deserves full acceptance: Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners – of whom I am the worst. —I Timothy 1.15
