The Pastor and Tammy were back!!!
So nice to hear them singing together.
Dave played and sang and lead us to think about Jesus.
It sure is nice to have him share his music.
The Pastor spoke and started with Exodus 25:8 "Let them make me a sanctuary that I may dwell among them."
He is saying to build Him a room that He can hang out with you/us.
He wanted to connect and spend time with His people.
The sanctuary was made of wood and gold. One cheap material and one very expensive.
Wood was outside and gold was inside.
Wood is us. Gold is Jesus.
He surrounds us and makes us precious.
Nature is God's second book. Spending time in nature helps us to connect with God.
Connection is very special and sometimes we may even get teary and don't understand why. The connection makes us feel special.
1st reach of intimacy... from curse to forgiveness.
Isaiah 53:5 "But He was pierced for our offences; He was crushed for our wrongdoings....
The flowers die from the curse. They have thorns. The thorns don't bother the ants and crickets and things that eat the plants no matter if there are thorns, but Jesus wore the crown of thorns for us.
We can ask for forgiveness from Jesus. It is between us.
He asks us to go and sin no more.
His name is Wonderful. He will forgive us our sins.
Forgive 70x 7 or limitless amount of times. He said, "Father, forgive them for they know not what they do. "
We don't realize just what we are doing either, but He still forgives us.
Salvation has to lead to something better in order for it to become something better.
2nd is Prayer.
Connect with God.
Closing hymn. Thanks for sharing Liza.
If any one wants to try one of those decadent croissants the Pastor was talking about this is the place to go.
Around and about Kelowna in January.
