Sermon Recap 5-26-10

Morning: The sermon, "A Message for Children," was an exposition of Ephesians 6:1-3.  In these verses, Paul is still exploring how the gospel plays out in life of children.  Paul's address to children reminds us at least two important things: children are expected to participate in church life and children are capable of responding in repentance and faith.  With these things in mind, Paul instructs children to obey their parents in the Lord.  Children are to pay careful attention to what their parents expect and respond in obedience that is motivated by love, and accompanied with joy.  The command to obey our fathers and mothers comes with the promise that all things will go well for us and that we will live long on the earth.

Evening:  We had VBS clinic again at 5:00 pm.  We looked at Luke 19:1-10 to answer the question: What is God's Plan for My Life?  His plan is for us to know him through Jesus Christ his Son.  At 6:00 pm, we looked at Jeremiah 29:10-14.  In this passage, the Lord explains his plans for his people: he plans to prosper them and not harm them, he plans to give them hope and a future.
