My last message preached at Bangsar Lutheran Church for 2017.
Focusing on John the Baptist and his testimony.
He became remarkable, then he passes the attention over to the Lamb of God... he shares what he sees, what he knows. So let us all be witnesses in the coming year, let's not just live a worthy life, but share our testimony...
During Advent we are called to celebrate that the Kingdom of God is here and now and at the same time still to come - that the Lord is truly near. But often we do not feel that way. Instead we can be more like John the Baptist, in today’s Gospel, wondering where God is in our lives. But there is reason to Rejoice! on this Gaudete Sunday – and for Thomas Merton the reason was found on the corner of 4th and Walnut in Louisville, Kentucky.
What did he realize that day? And how can his insight change the way you look at your life? How can his epiphany give you reason to Rejoice?
Check it out…
Charles is speaking from Philippians 1:13 from the Rivers of Joy Baptist Church, Minford Ohio on January 31 2010. This is the outline from the message.
