May 19th: this Sabbath @ MCBC….

Hey church!

Our days on Earth are counted. We might think we are running out of time or will be running out of time to do all we should be doing before our last breath. However, God works all good things in his time. Thus our Sabbaths need the perspective that only in the companionship of days made good by God do our Sabbaths count. This also implies the companionship of good “co-sabbathers”.

 

This is already our last sermon on Sabbath. Although it is the end of the series I hope your growth and sabbath building habits will continue on. Hopefully this series has pushed you to obey Sabbath more diligently and you will soon see the difference in your faith, life and priority-setting.

Shalom!

May 12th: all year-round Sabbath @ MCBC…

Hey church!

This week’s readings and meditation were overwhelming…I’ll share some of my readings and reflection in hope that you get overwhelmed and ready for Sunday…

You are my day, You are my night
You are my love and all of my life

You are the love I need
You are the air I breathe
You are my love my life always forever
[1]

“In the Christian practice of living through the year, recurring patterns of longing and fulfillment, of repentance and grace, encircle us again and again as we encounter different dimensions of the mystery of God at each point in time, all year long. Over time, the round years accumulate into a thick line, and we find that we have been caught up in the story of God.”[2]
