SERMON SNAPSHOT: Sunday, February 12, 2023

Dear Friends in Christ –

How many of you were picked first when teams were chosen? I recall jumping up behind the taller kids, running around the bigger kids so I’d be seen. I was smart, I was agile, and I was fast, but my hand to eye coordination was suspect and my growth was yet to spurt!

In our text this Sunday from Deuteronomy, it seems that the creator God was needing Moses to make a case that Yahweh was the best choice. God was directing Moses to make it clear that the people of Israel had a simple decision to make – choose obedience that leads to life, or choose death. Yahweh implores, “Choose me!” 

That may be hard to imagine, the creator of all that has been created jockeying for favor, but experience shows how often we choose something or someone else. This Sunday we look to both testaments for a word to carry us through.

BTW, it’s supposed to rain (of course). Brave the rain! We’ll celebrate our good fortune and pray for those who have escaped the rubble in Turkey and Syria only to find themselves in the cold and snow.

Bring a dessert for Second Sunday Lunch after church and invite someone you know, someone you like or don’t, who believes or you don’t know. Be a herald for the realm!

In gratitude and anticipation –
