On Sunday, we took our last breath before our congregational activities resume their regular monthly schedule -- a fact that was evident in the number of announcements of upcoming activities. While there some medical prayer concerns in our congregation, there also were several reports of joys, which brightened our worship. (I get the impression that "Amazing Grace" during communion may have brightened worship as well.)
We also continued our "Summer Blockbuster Sermons Series" by considering the difference our Christian faith should make in our ambitions. Drawing upon the epistle of James, particularly Chapter 3, I suggested that Christians should have ambition, but it shouldn't be selfish -- as James says, it should be gentle.
If you missed Sunday's sermon, if you'd like to listen to it again, or if you'd like to share it with others, you can find an audio recording here.
At the Lord's Table, I suggested that Communion could offer a model of such unselfish ambition. You can listen to this meditation here. And, if you'd like, you can listen to the benediction here.
