Sunday in Retrospect

We had another awesome day in the God this past Lord's Day.   I am often amazed by God's amazement  and surprised by God's surprises.  Pastoring a congregation 141 years old and counting, one can find a sense of traditional monotony that seems just want what's always been.  However, it amazes me that God seems to just show His hand in diverse ways and forms beyond what we've just grown accustomed to.  

I continued my series on 'God's Got An Answer'.  I shared, 'God's Answer for Life's Uncertainty.'  Today we celebrated our graduates.  We had 7 graduates this year, one is away and graduated college.  She will be home shortly.  I'm looking forward to God using her to lead our young people, in some way.  

Here is my outline for this past Sunday's messages...

Outline

Text: Joshua 5:10-12

Subject: God’s Answer for Life’s Uncertainty

The Big Idea: God’s faithfulness to provide is seen and shown when the manna stops, the road ahead seems uncertain and the promise awaits.

1. God stops the manna to alter our appetites
2. God stops the manna to reform the focus of our faith
1. It requires a faith that plants (Work)
2. It requires a faith that is patient (Waiting)
3. God stops the manna to add new depth to our delight  

Grateful for the 5 who came forward today, including one as a candidate for baptism today.  Go be praised!
