The Monday Morning Quarterback
I thought that on Mondays I would include a blog on Sunday's sermon for those who attended worship or who listened to it from the church website. Sometimes I find that if I let things settle and and reflect on them for a while, I will discover questions that are raised or other thoughts that come to mind.
Frequently when I start preparing the sermon I find that I end up going in a direction that I had anticipated. I have read the epiphany scripture, Matthew 2:1-12 many times, but this was the first time that verses 10 and 11 stood out to me. I had never before seen the pattern that I noted in my sermon: God initiates, we seek, are overwhelmed with joy with a real encounter with Jesus, are led to worship, are led to opening up our treasure chests. Then I suggested that the pattern repeats in a spiral upwards.
Any thoughts about the pattern or anything else that I said in the sermon? I welcome your responses.
