"The Weekly Word"

The Weekly Word, Monday, August 16, 2022 Edition

  

For everything that was written in the past was written to teach us, so through the endurance taught in the scriptures, and the encouragement they provide, we might have hope. Romans 15:4 

What is a statement? What is its purpose? What does it accomplish? As I’ve considered that question over the years, I’ve become aware so many organizations have statements. So many groups have missions, directives, initiatives. So many word smith goals and objectives.
We just recently at Black Rock adopted a statement of faith. Also, just as our denomination does, we too, have a mission statement. Which is what we are discussing in our current sermon series.  

But really, what are all those things formed and informed by? Our past. Yes, organizations endeavor to build on what’s already going well, our strengths. And to eliminate or at the very least minimize the problems or pitfalls which have previously snared us. 

So here Paul is reminding the romans as they set a new course for their life, they should have hope. And that hope should be formed under the bases of what God’s word has said, how it has stood the test of time, how it is the post on which we can lean and build our future direction. 

And so friends as we set our course of life in motion each time we get out of bed, each time we decide something, each problem we encounter or overcome, each turn in the road with a changing circumstance. As it all happens, we remember God’s encouraging reminder he is with us to the very end of the age. And we never forget statements like God is love, or Jesus saying, I am the bread of life if we feel empty. Or how about even, I am the way, the truth and life, if we wonder which way to go. 

My friends, as we remember from the beginning God created humanity to have dominion over it all, so we realize he through Jesus is our light and our salvation, therefore we need not fear. Our past familiarity to God’s word informs our life now and, in the future, knowing God is moving, always moving, pouring out his Holy Spirit for us, through us, around us! 

So remember from where you’ve come in order to get where you want to go. Remember your baptismal vows, the care of those around you who’ve maybe gone before. And as you lean on that past, know the ageless and eternal God of love sets your footsteps in motion. The best is yet to come! 

To God be the glory 

Pastor Brandon
