Flip the To Do List

Exodus 16

So this weeks sermon question: do you have a “to do” list?

Maybe it’s physical, maybe it’s mental, but a list of all the things you need to get done, should get done, or would love to do? And how long is your list? Because honestly, many of us now have MULTIPLE lists that are full with good and important things that just HAVE to get done. And it can be sort of crippling sometimes…

Well there is this story in scripture about food that fell from heaven, and it has a lot to teach us about God and about our lists.

And don’t worry, the sermon gets mega practical.

The good Doctor looks at 1 Timothy 3 to give us the church as explored in three metaphors… and a bunch of different stories!

And given the first metaphor… here are some nice photos from our love feast the evening before this sermon:

Every Revolution Needs a Clipboard

Acts 6

So many of us love when things are “non-institutional” and “organic… man…” So naturally we LOVE the stories about the early church: everyone sharing their resources, the poor being provided for, a genuine Spirit-led movement.

However if we read just a few more pages we stumble along the Spirit of God doing something different… essentially handing out clipboards, putting on a tie, and saying “but for real now, we’ve got to start getting organized!”

How does the Spirit work in chaos, and in order?

MacNab Presbyterian is Not Our Home

MacNab Presbyterian is Not Our Home

1 Peter 2

Eucharist Church has moved locations five times in five years… which is sort of crazy! What have we learned in that wandering, and what can we learn about wandering from the story of scripture?

These are the questions we ask as we settle into our (hopefully longer term!) new building: MacNab Presbyterian!

A quick tour of our time together on Sunday! We started in the garden outside before the gathering eating popsicles. JP came out and started leading us in music, singing “come into this place, meet us with your grace…”

We then entered into the hall where we will be gathering, and continued to worship and learn and communion together.

Finally we moved into the Sanctuary and got a tour by one of MacNab’s elders. He shared the history of the building, the stained glass windows, and the congregation… and it was super inspiring and gorgeous. We closed with a hymn and a benediction from the mega-pulpit.
