![]() During this season of unknown, all of us have had a lot of time to think and think and think. And the more I think about it, yes, I just went there, I have come to realize that this time has afforded us a great opportunity for growth. But, what kind of growth? Some of you may be asking, what kind of growth do we need to undergo? Another question might be, how much growth do we need to undergo? To answer those questions, let me ask you another question. What’s your story? Not your life story, but what has been your shelter in place and stay at home story? How have you loved God and loved your neighbor? What are some things that you are doing to grow in these areas and in these ways? You see, it is in times like these that we can do things we might not have been able to do before or to do some things we were doing before better. So, let me ask you again, what’s your story? How are you crafting and creating a story for the kingdom? My challenge to you is to have this amazing story of kindness and love that you have crafted over time, that you are then able to share once we all come back together. We may even have a “What’s Your Story Party.” Think about it. Pray about it. God bless.

![]() The following is an excerpt from one of my favorite sermons of all time. It’s the “Sunday’s Coming” sermon by Dr. Tony Campolo. Enjoy! Remember, “It’s only Friday… but Sunday’s coming!” “It’s Friday… Jesus was nailed dead on a cross. But it’s only Friday; Sunday’s coming! It’s Friday… Mary’s crying her eyes out ‘cause her Jesus is dead. But it’s only Friday; Sunday’s coming! It’s Friday… The disciples are running around like sheep without a shepherd. But it’s only Friday; Sunday’s coming! It’s Friday… Pilate’s strutting around washing his hands ‘cause he thinks he’s got all the power and victory. But it’s only Friday; Sunday’s coming! It’s Friday… People are saying “as things have been so they shall be – you can’t change anything in this world.” But it’s only Friday; Sunday’s coming! It’s Friday… Satan’s doing a jig saying, “I control the whole world.” But it’s only Friday; Sunday’s coming! It’s Friday… The temple veil ripped from top to bottom -the earth shook- the rocks split and tombs opened. The centurion screamed in fear, “Truly, He is the Son of God!” But it’s only Friday; Sunday’s coming! It’s Sunday– “The angel, like dazzling lightening, rolled the stone away exclaiming, “He is not here! He is risen!” It’s Sunday! It’s Sunday! It is Sunday!” As we reflect on this week and remember Jesus’ last week on this earth, let us never forget that SUNDAY’S COMING! Think about it. Pray about it. God bless. |
