A snowy Sunday but trying to salvage the morning service but also another opportunity to share Ezra with others



Here we are again.  The weather rolled in about 9 p.m. Saturday night and slated to move out this morning so some vamped services have been called for this Sunday, no Sunday School, just Morning Worship.  These types of Sundays are always interesting to see who walks through.

We walk into Ezra chapter 8 and see his actions compared with another leader of Israelites, Nehemiah, who brought back to Jerusalem from Babylon workers to rebuild the wall.  There are human similarities and differences between these two but our God is constant.  These opposites will actually team up together in the next book, the priest/scribe and the cupbearer.  A little help from Rev. Kevin DeYoung, "Are you a Practical Patty or a Spiritual Suzy when it comes to faith?"

 I hope to post in the future about my new masters class for this spring semester.  I am thinking through my first paper, the first of 5 over the next 7 weeks.  Also, the transitional work at the church is ramping up as we put into practice some of the initiatives that emerged from the discussions of the transition team.  It is an exciting time of constructive change for the furtherance of "making disciples" at MVBC! 

 May your Sunday be a day focused on God.  Read His book; think about Him; speak to Him; and sing of Him.

 p.s. - I thought I would throw in a couple shots of these two beauties!!!

A simple man serving a great God and the local pastor of Stillwater Community Chapel (stillwater-chapel.org). We are in our 38th year of full time ministry. God directed us to this local body of believers on the Western Range of the Rockies to grow with them in mission and mindedness of Christ.

Connect a bit of Scripture with a bit of life - Spurgeon

     I heard this phrase today along with another that if you connect a bit of Scripture with a bit of life, it will end up effecting all of your life.  This came up in my study of the book of James and specifically the verses dealing with not just being a hearer of the Word but also be a doer of the Word.  It is all about application.  I can't look at preaching the Word without giving steps of applying the Word.  It really is an incomplete sermon if I don't.      Many times I think it has to be big and many points and given cute aliteration that makes it snappy and I think easy to remember and fun to write down.  Reality is, if I would make it a bit of Scripture connected to a bit of life and just that it would probably accomplish much more.  How much time I spend on the opening statement and lame joke and research and introductions and how many points and the closing statement and so little time on connecting the bit of Scripture to the bit of life.      So I guess I ha

Galatians #15 - Galatians 6:11-18 - "On The Road Again..."

Image
  Another week closer and it involves some more travel for the Wolfgangs.  I feel like the Willy Nelson song, " On the road again... "  I don't know if I agree with the next line though. " ...I can't wait to get on the road again. " One of the members of the church in Wisconsin calculated that I will travel well over 10,000 miles to make this transition.  Traveling mercies prayers please. Last Sunday we will look at Paul's final words to the churches in Galatia.  He brought them the gospel (good news) message of Jesus and what resulted were churches forming throughout the region.  The letter is to defend that message that our salvation comes from and is in Christ alone.  Christ's sacrifice on the cross was sufficient for the forgiveness of our sins.  The summary statement of the letter is found in  Galatians 6:15 (LSB) .  " For neither is circumcision anything, nor uncircumcision, but a new creation. "  Translated another way earlier in  Ga

Sermon prep and maybe a video...

     James 4 has brought up some interesting study.  First, "the quarrels and fights among you."  Those are usually worse than you think even though we try to minimize them.  The source is simpler than you think because it is coming from within you.  The solution is easier than you think because the solution that James gives is that we need to humble ourselves before the Lord.  Any sincere resolution is specific and brief.  Beware of lengthy resolutions that usually include explaining it away or excusing some of the behavior.      As I have seen before, the words are a sign of the heart.  I read this week that if we have a critical heart we usually start by speaking evil of another to ourselves.  Then we progress to speaking evil of another to that person with a running tally in our heads of all their wrongs.  Finally, we speak evil of another to others and broadcast in a way that we are thinking that we are helping.  Giving judgment is always easier than giving mercy.  I
