Learning From History

Why do people so often bring up the past? Even St. Paul talked to the Corinthians about their ancestors and how God dealt with them. In this week’s message we will talk about our unity with the Israelites of the Old Testament as we strive to reach our promised land.

Scripture: I Corinthians 10:1-6

For I do not want you to be ignorant of the fact, brothers, that our forefathers were all under the cloud and that they all passed through the sea. They were all baptized into Moses in the cloud and in the sea. They all ate the same spiritual food and drank the same spiritual drink; for they drank from the spiritual rock that accompanied them, and that rock was Christ. Nevertheless, God was not pleased with most of them; their bodies were scattered over the desert. Now these things occurred as examples to keep us from setting our hearts on evil things as they did.”

Renewing Reflections

It is our prayer that Renewing Reflections will be a blessing in your life this coming week. This quote is taken from the sermon The Day You Were Baptized delivered on Christian Crusaders June 21, 2009.

The day one is baptized is an important part of a Christian’s faith story. Christians have not always agreed on how baptism is to be done or when it should take place, but there is an agreement that it has an important part in our salvation. Whatever time and way in your life you were baptized, remember that day, but realize it was only the beginning of a glorious relationship with Jesus. That relationship will continue to grow as you walk with him in word and prayer through the good and bad days of your entire life’s journey.

On the Light Side

Little Johnny, Moses, and the Professor
An atheist professor was walking in the local park when he noticed little Johnny proclaiming his belief in God. Standing on a park bench, little Johnny was shouting, “GOD IS ALMIGHTY! HE GAVE MOSES THE ABILITY TO PART THE RED SEA!!!”

The professor walked up to him and asked, “Do you truly believe in that statement little boy?"

“Of course I do. God is that powerful!” retorted Johnny.

“I can disprove your theory by using geographical science.”

“How?”

“Did you know that the Red Sea was only about 10 inches deep when Moses crossed it?”

Little Johnny fell silent and the Professor walked away pleased with himself. He walked for about 10 feet when he heard Johnny proclaiming even louder how almighty God is. The professor looked at the boy again and asked him “How can you keep proclaiming after I disproved your all-powerful God?”

Little Johnny looked at the professor and said, “God is still all powerful because he was able to drown the entire Egyptian Army in only 10 inches of water!”
