Big Problems Bigger God

11/27/2016

This is the last of the Joseph series of teachings, and as always it's a good one. We didn't anticipate in the beginning that we would be this long in the life of Joseph, Jacob and his brothers but it's been well worth it. There has been so much to learn about life and its difficulties, sometimes extreme, and how we can get through them.  Obviously, without the Lord, that's tough, if not impossible.  Join us in this last chapter.

Handing Over the Goods

11/20/2016

Last week we used the Etch A Sketch as an image of handing over our lives to the Lord and allowing Him to write a brand new script and to draw an entirely new picture of the rest of our lives. Nice image.  It's also backed by a little known reality.  I say little known, as there is a future event that is found in only one passage of scripture, as best as I can recall.  In 1st Corinthians chapter 15 Paul reminds us that Jesus, after everything in the universe is finally under His subjection, is going to turn around and literally hand over everything.... every jurisdiction, all of nature, all His authority, the whole smash to His heavenly Father.  This is real. This is going to happen. It's best to get a head start and surrender yourself, your stuff, and your future to Him as soon as possible..

Everyone Loves an Etch A Sketch

11/13/2016

I think most everyone remembers that toy as a child. You either had one or know someone that did.  Even as an adult if I stumbled onto one somewhere, there was always the irresistible urge to shake that thing clean and draw.

Each of us actually does have an etch a sketch, and the drawing we've made is our very own life's history as we've decided to draw it. And, as things go, life usually doesn't go as planned. Lots of rough terrain that, if we could, we'd definitely do a redraw.  

The good news is that we have a God Who is waiting for us to ask Him to turn that picture upside down and give us a clean slate.  But the next time, we have the opportunity to let Him do the drawing, and the picture will be quite something to see.  If only we can let go and let Him.  Jacob and his sons help us to learn this lesson.
