Care-Takers


I'm so excited about our new sermon series "Care-Takers". There are so many things that God entrusts to us as humans, and it can often be overwhelming to consider what this responsibility means in our everyday life. He must think pretty highly of us because He really expects a lot. The question is "Are we taking our responsibilty seriously?". I watched the season opener of the tv show Lost last night (a night I've been anxiously awaiting like a child for Christmas). The plot thickens, and now we are viewing parallel universes! Now what "is" and what "could be" are both reality. Ok, here's the tie in (possibly a stretch, but I don't think so). We often view life in terms of what is, and what could be. The problem is that in a world of skepticism we often pass off what "could be" as idealistic or as a fairy tale. The problem is that God is calling us to live in what "could be". He is calling us to a new reality, a new existence, another way of living. This is what the sermon on the mount is all about in the gospel of Matthew. Let's agree together to begin forming a new existence. What are we doing with the responsibility that God has given us?
