From the ancient days to the present . . . the story . . .
is told . . . and kept in hearts and minds throughout the generations.
The story connects our lives with one another.
Acknowledging
the story . . . telling the story . . . matters:
A little girl
so sick she is in ICU. . . her story matters.
Her parents
caring for her around the clock . . . their story matters.
Her sister
wanting to see her . . . her story matters.
Her doctors
and nurses caring for her and the whole family. . . their story matters.
And
the story is the story of God . . . which we are to tell:
Let the
redeemed of the LORD tell their story— those he redeemed from the hand
of the foe.
So how does
our story change when we are redeemed?
The message of
our story has become about a relationship . . . through Christ . . . we are freed to participate in an
ongoing-active-engaged life with God. Look at the Early
Church . . . who told the story to the world: Friends, why are you
doing this? We too are only human, like you. We are bringing you good news,
telling you to turn from these worthless things to the living God, who made
heaven and earth and sea and everything in them. Acts 14:15
Think about
the story God has for you . . .
Be grateful
for the transforming story.
Celebrate the
story.
Learning
with you to KICK START the day . . . as part of the story,
Pastor Kerrie
