Back in the Saddle
Hey, vacation's over. That means I will be sharing a message at Heritage tomorrow. I'm looking forward to sharing a message that is very personal to me. It's about "winning over worry". Unfortunately, I can draw from a deep well of experience when it comes to worry. The words of Jesus in the Sermon on the Mount are a little hard to swallow. His words "do not worry" are pretty easy for me to understand. Yet, I have invested a lot of my time and energy worrying. In the end, Jesus characterizes worry as a result of "puny faith" (Matthew 6:30). That hurts! I will spend quite a bit of time this week pondering the relationship between the strength of my faith in Christ and my tendency to worry. I can't help but think that the strength of my trust in someone usually depends on how well I know them. If this is true with Jesus then winning over worry will require us to know Him better.

It saddens me to know that I've missed what would surely be an awesome teaching. But there's always cable (if you're fortunate?) and I'll be waiting for it there ...
Looking forward to getting back to Heritage in the near future - I've really missed it these past months.
Thanks Brandi. Have a "worry free" week!
