Pastor's Message
Dear Church,

“It’s a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad, World!” world was the title of a funny movie years ago. Today, it could be the title of a documentary! Many people are upset, here and around the world. Many are outraged. Many are worried. Many are hurting. Many are hurting others in the process! (And one of the big drawbacks of social media and many of the ‘talking heads’ in news and politics is that they get their ratings and make their money by getting people mad, and keeping them mad!)

A verse of “This Is My Father’s World” helps me keep perspective: This is my Father’s world. Oh, let me not forget: that though the wrong seems oft so strong, God is the Ruler yet!

And then, the wise words of St. Paul (that deserve our attention at least as much as social media) found in Galatians 5 are priceless and life-giving. After he lists all sorts of bad behaviors to avoid, he urges his fellow Christians:

By contrast, the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, generosity, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. There is no law against such things. And those who belong to Christ have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. If we live by the Spirit, let us also be guided by the Spirit. Let us not become conceited, competing against one another, envying one another.

While we can’t make this the answer to all the world’s madness and problems, we can show who we are, and Who we belong to, and how this might help, by adopting and spreading these “Fruits of the Spirit!” Thanks for doing your part in helping God’s kingdom to come, and God’s work to be done! We can help cure some of the madness! -Pastor Paul

KING DAVID – 2 SAMUEL 5–6 Bible Background: David is a central figure in the story of Israel. If Moses was somewhat the ‘founder’ of the nation, David was seen as its ‘savior’. David (great-grandson of Ruth & Boaz) was a shepherd boy, who loved music and

THE BOOK OF RUTH Bible Background: Ruth seems to be the story of an ‘outsider’, who, amid all the ups and downs of life, becomes an ‘insider’, whose famous great-grandson grows up to be King David (and ultimately has a place in the family ‘tree’ of Jesus.)
