God's Intentional Plan for Humankind

God had great plans for us when he created us, but we turned our backs on him and became our own little gods. As a result, we live in a world today filled with chaos, sin, heartaches. This was never God’s plan, and it still isn’t today. In this week’s sermon, we will talk about God’s intentional plan for humankind.


Scripture: Psalm 8:3-9
When I consider your heavens,
the work of your fingers,
the moon and the stars,
which you have set in place,
what is man that you are mindful of him,
the son of man that you care for him?
You made him a little lower than the heavenly beings
and crowned him with glory and honor.

“You made him ruler over the work of your hands;
you put everything under his feet;
all flocks and herds,
and the beasts of the field,
the birds of the air,
and the fish of the sea,
all that swim the paths of the seas.

“O Lord, our Lord,
how majestic is your name in all the earth!”


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 Our Home Changed delivered on Christian Crusaders May 13, 2007:

Many friends tell me how different their homes are today from when Jesus Christ did not have a place in their families. The day He assumed the role of head of the home, life was different. One small child sensed that things had changed in her home, and at devotional time she prayed, "Thank you God for giving me a new mommy and daddy."

On the Light Side
Two pastors are standing by the side of the road with a sign that reads, “The End is Near! Turn around before it's too late!” They hold up the sign to each passing car.

"Leave us alone you religious nuts!" yelled the first driver as he sped by. From around the curve they heard screeching tires & a big splash.

“Do you think,” said one clergy to the other, “we should put up a sign that says ‘Bridge Out’ instead?”
