Friday's thoughts on Sunday's sermon

"The Main Thing"

How do we keep the main thing the main thing?
What is the "main thing"?

The sermon will look at the importance of who we are as a moral example. We have a task to do in a world that has become increasingly cynical and despairing. What are we to do?

First of all we note that hope was something that was before there was anything else. The foundation of the universe is hope. It was from the beginning of time and before time as we know it.

Secondly, the word becomes flesh. It isn't enough to say what we believe to be the truth we have to live it. The truth become in fleshed through us.

Finally, the word becomes flesh and it dwells among us. The more we live it the more people see it the more other people live it and the more it is seen. It begins to pick up speed and it takes a life of its own.

It's in the Gospel of John. We are told "the Word became flesh, and dwells among us.

This sermon will pick up on that theme and will give us the task of making that true in our day.



What do you think? How do you think this works in your life; in life in general?
