Mondays are not my favorite days. I neglected to mention that last Monday was free of computer problems (and so far so is today). I always feel groggy on Mondays. Anyway lets review yesterdays gatherings.
The Sunday morning sermon was entitled "Jesus, No Greater Salvation." The passage under consideration was Hebrews 2:1-4. The author of Hebrews reminded us that 1) we must be diligent in the faith, lest we drift away; 2) there are inescapable consequences if we neglect the salvation that Jesus provides; and 3) he tells us why the gospel should be diligently applied. It should be applied because Jesus announced it, the apostles confirmed it, God demonstrated it, and the Holy Spirit displays it in the life of believers. How do we apply the message: we allow this warning to drive us closer to Jesus.
Sunday evening we looked at the Church Covenant. This document has been used by our church for a really long time. It is a helpful tool for describing Christian community. It is an expression of how we will live together for the glory of God. The more I study it the more I see its merits. We had lively discussion last night. I love the chance to interact and bounce thoughts off other people. It provides the opportunity to see if one has thought carefully and clearly through a matter. The opportunity for correction and clarification often comes from these interactions and I am thankful for these opportunities. We need to continually realize that we can learn so much from each other. I want to thank every one for their questions and insights.
