Wonderful Memorial Day weekend, punctuated by a great service at Crossroads on Sunday. Here's just a few of the many things that stood out to me:
- Worship was excellent! Love the new songs.
- Having the "Band That No One Respected" live on-stage during the second service was one of the highlights of my week. Your too, I hope.
- I'm noticing that I am more concerned than ever about justice. just sayin'.
- Thankfully God was more concerned about MERCY and GRACE than justice when He sent Jesus to die and rise again for all of us! Just sayin'.
- Had several people ask me Sunday if Crossroads has an iPhone app. Not yet, but Chris Brooks is making each Sunday's service bulletin and scriptures smart phone and iPad accessible. Check this out LINK to view the bulletin and scriptures from last Sunday's service. Look for the current link in each Sunday's bulletin.
- Wonderful sharing some vignettes from the life of Joseph!
- Joseph does what anyone in his circumstances would do...that was CONFIDENT that God was with them.
- What a great lesson for all of us. A great model for how to respond in ANY circumstance: Do what anyone would do that was CONFIDENT that God was with them!
- Often times we assume God's PRESENCE (or lack of it) by our CIRCUMSTANCES. Oops!
- Often times we put our faith in God's ACTIVITY, rather than His IDENTITY.
Funny, in looking at the life of joseph, how many times the Bible says, "and the LORD was with him". When you contract that with how many difficult and challenging circumstances Joseph faced, you begin to see that the LORD being with us doesn't mean that everything goes great all the time. But we DO have the promise that He will never leave us, or forsake us. We also have the PROMISE that God will work every situation in our lives for our good.
May you see this week, that God wants to use every circumstance of your life for your good, and for the good of those you influence. Have a GREAT week!
