In Luke 10, Luke tells of Jesus sending out the Seventy (two) and verse 17 tells us that they “returned with joy.” Only those who have gone out to serve the Lord in some way can truly appreciate the joy that comes from ‘going out’ and ‘serving’.

It has been correctly pointed out that our job isn’t to build the church. We’re supposed to BE the church, and build the kingdom. The best expression of the church is NOT what happens on Sunday morning. It’s what happens in the world during the week. And that’s not something you can market.”

WHERE THE RUBBER MEETS THE ROAD |

I’ve been forced recently to ask myself a number of questions concerning the purpose of the church. Why does the church exist? What is its reason for being? Am I doing what I should be doing as part of the church?

A retired preacher was cleaning out an old dresser one day when he found five eggs and a thousand dollars. He asked his wife about it and she said that had she saved one egg for every bad sermon he had preached. He thought, "Five eggs in all those years. That’s not too bad. But what’s the money for?" "Well," she said, "Every time I got a dozen eggs, I sold them." As someone well said: “Just think, if it weren’t for marriage, men would go through life thinking they had no faults at all.”

LOOKING BOTH WAYS! |

The Latin word janua means a door or window from which a person may look both ways, in other words, in and out--forward and back. Historians say that January is also derived from the name Janus, a common household god among the Romans. He was often depicted facing in two directions. Basically, he was looking forward and back. As we stand now in the month of January and at the beginning of a new year we naturally look back over the way we have come. We also naturally look ahead to the New Year and where we are going.

At this time of year it is a good thing, although often not an easy thing, to pause and reflect on all that God has done throughout the past year and to contemplate those things that we expect to see Him do in the year to come.

It seems appropriate at this time of Thanksgiving to say thanks to the many who have contributed so much to the work and mission of our church.
