Pastor’s Message

FROM THE PASTOR’S DESK:

 We look for Signs all the time, don’t we?  Doctors tell us to look for signs of cancer when we examine ourselves.  An unexplained mole – a lump – an unexplained loss or gain of weight may indicate trouble and so they would encourage us to seek medical help to make sure that all is well.   Every Fall we look at Wooly Bears and at the Stars to glean whatever Signs there may be to forecast the coming Winter.  I’m not sure who said what about the Winter we’ve just  been through, but I recall some prognosticators warning us of another severe Winter.  I guess not everyone can read those Signs properly. 

 We do well to recognize important Signs among us.  We would not want to miss the Signs of severe depression plaguing someone we love.   Health disasters and suicide have resulted when such Signs have been taken lightly or overlooked.  In fact, there are many important Signs that each of us need to recognize – including the Signs that God has given us in His Word.

 This Lenten Season we are looking at some of those Signs that God gives us.  Of course the Cross is the central Sign of the Lenten Season.  This Sign reminds us of our faith in the One who took the sins of the world upon Himself.  It is the Sign that reminds us that no matter where we are in the world, Christ is there with us.  He is our Savior and our Friend who walks with us through the adventures we live each day, and is the Lord who promises us the hope that our walk with Him will go on through eternity. 

 How many Signs are you able to name and recall from God’s Word?  Think about it for a second!  The Lord has not hidden them from us and they are not difficult for us to find or interpret.  Each one reminds us that we are God’s children and that He is our Maker;  each one assures us that whatever we experience or face day to day, God is near and that we are in His care.  These Signs are gifts that God has given us and are meant to encourage us and increase our faith.  How many have you named so far?

 I can tell you for certain that were we to remove all these Signs from the Bible your faith would be much poorer than it is today.  And were we to ignor these Signs, then our faith would lose the opportunity to grow and rejoice in the way God intended.  It is precisely for this reason that we are looking at many of these Signs each Wednesday and Sunday during the Lenten Season.  By the time you read this Newsletter, we’ve already looked at three of these Signs.  Other than the Sign of the Cross mentioned above, can you name any other Sign? 

 The Signs I talk about on Sundays are here in the Sermon section of  our web site.  We will be reviewing these Signs on Sunday mornings at 8:00 and 10:30 a.m. and on Wednesday evenings at 7:30 p.m.  I implore and invite you to review each of the Signs we look at this Lenten Season and to thank God for having the love He has for you and yours.  You’re that special to Him that He would continue to give you Signs of His love, His presence, His commitment and His promises to you.   It’s LENT – Time to hone up on our faith!
