"Hearing
the Word"
Do you set aside
time each day to speak to God and let him speak to you in his Word?
In this week’s sermon we will talk about two women whom Jesus
visited, their differing reactions to his visit, and how we can
apply this story to our lives.
Scripture:
Luke 10:38-41
As Jesus and his
disciples were on their way, he came to a village where a woman
named Martha opened her home to him. She had a sister called Mary,
who sat at the Lord’s feet listening to what he said. But Martha was
distracted by all the preparations that had to be made. She came to
him and asked, “Lord, don’t you care that my sister has left me to
do the work by myself? Tell her to help me!”
“Martha,
Martha,” the Lord answered. “You are worried and upset about many
things, but only one thing is needed. Mary has chosen what is better,
and it will not be taken away from her.”
Renewing Reflections
It
is our prayer Renewing Reflections will be a blessing in your life
this coming week. This quote is taken from the
sermon
Speak, Lord. Your Servant Is Listening delivered on Christian
Crusaders January 14, 2001 by Rev. Larsen:
It is my prayer
that, in people’s personal lives, Christ may be heard. If the
person lives outside of a relationship with God and is not saved,
he may hear the voice of the Savior calling him. May those who are
contemplating marriage hear the voice of the Lord telling them not
to be yoked to unbelievers. May those young people wondering what
to do with their lives hear God’s voice counseling them to serve
Him in whatever they decide to do. And for those of us who are the
retirees, let us remember that God speaks to us also. These are
years when great things can be done for Him, or they can be wasted
in self-centered living. God has more in mind for us than golf and
bridge.
Basic Biblical Truths
Scripture
tells us how Jesus’ message of salvation, first told to the twelve
disciples, was spread to thousands hungering to hear the Good News
of the living Christ. Rev. Larsen encourages us to follow this
biblical example to carry the same message to those who need to hear
His life-changing story. If you would like to learn more, order “How
Does Christ Build His Church,” volume five in Rev. Larsen’s DVD
video sermon collection Basic Biblical Truths. This DVD is available

On the Light Side
During a sermon
one Sunday, two teenage girls were heard in the back giggling and
disturbing people. The pastor interrupted his sermon and announced
sternly, “There are two of you here who have not heard a word I’ve
said!” That quieted them down.
When the service
was over, the pastor went to greet people at the front door. Three
adults apologized for going to sleep in church, promising it would
never happen again.
