"A Life Filled with Meaning"

Rev. Jay Parr

Luke 9:21-25 (NRSVue)

72025 Sermon Title.jpg

Our society has a culture with a high expectation of success. Therefore, the fear of failure is one of the most prevalent fears. This Sunday, we will talk about how failure isn’t the end and is often essential for becoming the person and achieving the goals of our dreams. A feeling of failure often comes when others criticize or reject us. It is essential to recognize that, regardless of your actions, you will inevitably disappoint someone. 

As Christians, we understand that Jesus was a good, righteous, and compassionate man. In fact, he was the very Son of God. And yet, that did not keep him from being criticized and rejected. Once we move away from the fear of failure and criticism, we can look to the acts that lead to a life filled with meaning. We will look at how following the Great Commandment from Jesus, ‘Loving God and loving our neighbor’, can bring great meaning to our lives.

Praise the Lord

Psalm 150

​.

The psalmist is so happy about everything God has made and done that he wants the whole world to join him in making a joyful noise about God's greatness.

Make a joyful noise this week. Have a song in your heart about how great and good God is to you and all those around you.

​Today's Blessing:

Dear God, 

Thank you for making us, the whole beautiful world, from flowers to bees and butterflies to the crashing waves in the ocean. We praise you for how big and mighty you are.  In Jesus' name, Amen.

Childcare is available on Sunday mornings for ages birth to 4 years & Kinder to 5th Grade
