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,
