‘Tis the Gift, To Be Free
Like nuclear power, money can do much good, if we handle it well. Unfortunately, most of us don’t. We get contaminated by its power; and we contaminate others by using it carelessly—wanting it too desperately—manipulating people with it—believing in it too fiercely—defending it too strongly. His first disciples were not wealthy—yet they gave up nets, boats, family to follow him--not because it was a requirement for following Jesus, but because it was a consequence. He called—they followed—and stuff got left behind. The stuff wasn’t bad--it was just in the way. So, what holds you back? What things, what ideology, what hatred, what passion, what love? What is so dear to you—in what do you trust so strongly that you can’t follow Christ with your whole heart? If Jesus stood here today and asked you to give up that thing, could you do it—or would you be shocked, and go away grieving?

Come To The Table
Coming to "the Table" is a celebratory occasion! We can come knowing that God's provision, through Jesus, is COMPLETE! We can't add anything to what was done for us and by accepting this gift of love we can come to the table...in fellowship...in community...now and forever! What a gift!
