Whew! We made it! We got through the Thanksgiving/Christmas holiday season with all of its frantic fun, overflowing opulence, and intense interaction with at least some of the people whom we love the most. At least, that’s the way I look back on the past few weeks. How do you look back on them?
But, enough of looking back. The last few days of an old year and the first few of a new year often find me reflecting on what just happened, what will happen, and what the whole crazy mess of life is truly all about. Eventually, the memories and musings morph into thoughts about the inner dynamics of a person that both drive and are driven by the individual moments that make up a life. I am taken to what might be called the deepest things, things like truth, faith, and especially, love. Why does everything happen? And what’s the point of it all?
What is it that exists beneath all the stuff of your life?
The day after tomorrow, we’ll embark on a six-week sermonic journey incorporating some of the most famous and often-used scriptures that speak to the foundations of a blessed life, the kind of life that God had in mind for us when he created us. Read John 3:16-21, and I’ll preach this message: “Pillars of Life: Love.”
As always, we’ll gather at The Lord’s Table on this first Sunday of the year. If you’re planning to worship online, you might want to have some wine and bread at the ready.
