Worship This Week
Preaching Preview: When will the Hebrews ever learn? Or for that matter, when will WE ever learn! God will take care of us if we simply trust and obey. And even when we don’t trust quite as much as we should, or when we don’t obey as well as we should, God still cares for us. God loves us in spite of ourselves! Many times we look around at what we don’t have and complain rather than looking at the ABUNDANCE we have and praising God for it. God gives us “manna” every day. All we have to do is expect it, see it, pick it up, and enjoy it!!

Karl’s Kommentary: Tuning In
While sitting in on one of our adult Sunday School classes, the leader mentioned a Netflix movie called “Jesus Revolution.” At this writing, I’ve only seen the first half, but I feel like I’m reliving my high school and college years all over again. The fact is, there was a “Jesus Revolution” in the 60’s and on into the 70’s. One could argue that today’s “contemporary style” of worship - which is so popular among young adults and non-denominational churches today - started with the “Jesus Revolution” of the 60’s and 70’s. It’s a wonderful movie (so far!) and is very prophetic about how we welcome and reach people for Jesus…
I’m glad for the recommendation of the movie. What that did was prevent me from “channel flipping.” Channel flipping…we all do it! We “surf the channels” for one reason: to find that perfect show so we can be entertained, relaxed and refueled. But what if we don’t find a show? Frustration, waste of time, anger. But there is One Channel that always lifts us up, fills us up and lets you relax. And you don’t even need a remote!! It’s the Spirit of Jesus! And prayer is our direct channel to Him!
