Monday's Thoughts

David Dalke is preaching Sunday, April 25th. This is what he has to say about his sermon:

"This Sunday the message is entitled "Cold Case# 1005: Billy Joe MacAllister

The scripture passages will be from Acts 1:1-9, 12-14, and 21-28

Within the scope of the human drama there are many unsolved cases regarding one's struggle to live meaningfully and die gracefully. Sometimes we must go back to the time and place of a certain event, and reconstruct the circumstances and interview the people who played an important role in the outcome.

Such is the case of Billy Joe MacAllister, who jumped off the Tallahatchie Bridge in Carroll County, Mississippi. It's called a cold case. This could also be said of Jesus, who 2,010 years ago, defied death.

Have you ever felt there was some unfinished business in your life from a past event or conversation? Of course, we can dwell on the lingering thoughts and feelings, or deal with them 'head on', or simply accept what has happened and move forward. What's important is to make a decision, accept your choice, and 'close the case'.

I look forward to seeing you in church this coming Sunday. We will sing the hymns, pray the prayers, hear Arianne Jenkins give us the story of Billy Joe MacAllister in song, and have come time for contemplation.

I'll do my best to tied it all together, so we can all experience a time of celebration as God's people."
