This Sunday we wrap up our sermon series where we’ve been following the last steps of God’s people before they entered the promised land. Moses has questioned their motivations for being there, has called them to be faithful as they move forward, and warns them about the consequences of relying on their own wants, needs, and desires.
This Sunday we’re reading from Deuteronomy 30:15-20 where Moses issues one last word – today you have a choice to make. You can move forward and trust God, or turn back where you came from, but in doing so you’re making a choice between life and death. God’s desire for us is to move forward into new places, trusting that God have paved the way.
Life is full of choices, and being faithful to God is certainly one of them. Last Sunday I asked you what opportunities you felt we had to go beyond the walls of the church and reach new people, and I’ll be sharing some of your ideas along with things other churches have done. Sharing God’s love with the world around us doesn’t have to cost us anything other than time, and a willingness to try new things.
So what might be holding us back from choosing life? We’ll talk about that on Sunday!
Rev. Tim Barnes
