| This week’s theme is “Focus not on what we’ve done or gone through; focus on who has gone through it with us”. The prophet Joel reminds us to rejoice in who God is. He’s the one who blesses us even in the midst of trials. He is the one who pours his Spirit on all flesh. The Psalmist talks of the God of salvation who waters the earth, silences the seas and blesses us abundantly. In Luke we read about the difference between the Pharisee who focuses on himself, and the tax collector who focuses on God and his mercy. The sermon today focuses on Paul saying goodbye to Timothy and putting the focus where it belongs. To God be the glory forever and ever. |
