he's a modern prophet... ;p
Downloaded and listened, then listened again, then again. (I guess that's why I like doing the powerpoints for the weekend for you guys.. I get to hear the sermons three times so they really sink into my knuckleheaded brain.)
Interesting sermon from Rob Bell. Couple of things that really stirred it up for me. One was just that we sometimes just need to click it up a notch - which fits in with what you dad says about this being a process. Another was the thing that was not the central theme to the message - that was the whole Martha, Martha thing.
By the way, I did the weekend for you the time that you did the Kingdom of God is at hand sermon . It is here. It is now. Rob had that in his sermon.
And then the preacher guy- gotta love the way he stirred us up.
One thing that has been on my heart is that everytime there is preaching on this compassion issues, the scriptures always talk about the widows and orphans..... and we've glommed onto the orphan (and foster kids) big time in a wonderful way. But what about the widows of our congregation. I've been thinking of one of the widows in our church. WOnderful lady. Her son and my son have hung out ever since her husband died 3 years ago. I am sure that there are others. What is our church doing to help widows? She marches on strong in her faith, yet I know that she is discouraged and tired of riding herd on her 2 children as they are going through the teen years. We (my husband and I help her in small ways.) My hubster take the son to the men's stake-out and pig out.
What about those widows that the Bible talks about? Is the church organized for them? I know that by saying something, it seems like I am being critical of things we are doing, but I am not meaning to me. I am wondering if this was overlooked, or if there is something more to be done. For example, it would be terrific if there were a nice older man who could take the son under his wings and invite him over to tinker around with cars, too go fishing (My husband does not do either of these things) or whatever else it is that guys like to do with fathers. I am sure that there are others in the congregation that have similar needs.
Just a thought.
