Over the past 5 weeks, we have been marveling with awe and wonder at the incredible world that God has made for each of us and exploring the many pathways that God offers to embrace the life we have been given and live it to the fullest. We’ve been reminded about the freedom God give us to choose God’s way or our own short-sighted ways; the wisdom that God freely shares with us if we choose to learn from it; the image that we’ve been created in and our call to bear God’s image well in the world by following in his ways; and the desire that our Creator has placed within each of our hearts with a warning of the consequences we will bear when we focus our desire in a way that does not align with God. And last week, we looked at the many ways that God defends his good creation against the misdeeds of human beings and remembered with hope that God does not settle for the status quo, and does not want us to settle for it either. Having established this firm foundation, this week we will look at the blessings that God bestows on us daily and wonder, why? Why does God bless you? What is the purpose in God’s blessings? What does God want us to do with the blessings that we’re given? How we answer these questions will direct impact on the vibrancy of life we experience in life. We hope that you will make time to be present with us in worship at 10 a.m. online or in-person as we explore the many ways that God is Plotting Goodness in our world. |
