From the Pastorrsquos Desk
Itrsquos that time of year again Itrsquos the time of year when we unite or divide and remember why some of us donrsquot like some other people Itrsquos the time when stand up scream and yell when the ones we
like do something that gives them an advantage over the people that we donrsquot like We alter our lives and personal schedules for such events and some spend incredible resources to participate in this carnival and spectacle that we call ldquoFOOTBALL SEASONrdquo
I will be wrapped up in this football season as much as anyone Why Because that is the case every year Itrsquos a ritual Itrsquos something we do Itrsquos part of who we are and where we live Right now this nation is as divided as ever the most in my lifetime Just a few weeks ago all that were able came together forgot about the issues of the day forgot the divisions and focused on something that was not of this world We traveled to mountains stadiums strange parking lots We watched it on TV and changed routines It was the solar eclipse of 2017 For a few moments we forgot our problems our issues and our ailments We came together as one people who also shared this with others from around the world For a few moments we were united as one
Romans 124-5 says that ldquoFor as in one body we have many members and the members do not all have the same function So we though many are one body in Christ and individually members one of anotherrdquo All of us bring something different to the Church the body of Christ This month we will be focusing on the gifts that God has given to each one of us and how we can bring that to the Church and the furthering of His kingdom here on earth
Christ came for all not just a few or some special group He came for everyone Though we are all unique in our own way we are still one in the Body of Christ Consider what your gifts talents and abilities are and how God can use them to His glory
Blessings Pastor Michael
