The Jesus Perspective
Perspective:
the capacity to view things in their true relations or relative importance
It is so
important in life to make sure that we have the right perspective. Are there
times in your life when your first decision or reaction to an experience or
event didn't work out that well? It is easy to take a look at this picture and
realize that the Eiffel Tower isn't really this small...don't we wish that
living life with the right perspective was just as easy?
This Sunday,
I invite you to discover the opportunity to view our world through "The
Jesus Perspective". In John 6:1-21,
we will explore two major experiences where the disciples struggled to see what
was happening from the perspective of Jesus. I continue to discover the
challenges of doing that in my own life. We get so caught up in the here and now
that before we know it we lose our perspective and when that happens, we don't
make Christ honoring decisions.
I think that
John wants us to really begin to see the difference between Jesus and the
Disciples; Jesus and the rest of us. John wants us to look at the world, the
problems and blessings of life, and each other from the Jesus Perspective.
This Sunday
we welcome the Chancel Choir back to our 9:20 worship and we also welcome
Andrew Lewis who will be our long term interim organist and accompanist. This
Sunday is also the start of confirmation and our Sunday School ministry is off
to a great start, seeking to change the lives of our children. We also start
our Sunday morning Disciple One class at 11:00 AM. Our Tuesdays At Church (TAC)
has had a great start and this Tuesday we have our Taste of Alpha Dinner in
Room 202 at 6:00PM.
In Jesus,
Barry
