Sermon: Acts 2:41-47, Colossians 1:3-14
September 30th, 2007 · Posted in SERMONS ·I have posted today’s sermon on my sermon blog. It’s based on Acts 2:41-47 and Colossians 1:3-14, is the 4th in my series on “Let’s Be The Church God Wants Us TO Be” and entitled “Let’s Be A Church That Grows In Christ”.
Here’s a portion of it:
A friend of mine related top me how one day he was getting to go to a meeting when his son asked him if he could go with him.
He replied: “Sorry, but no. The meeting will be long and tedious. You’ll be bored out of your skull.”
His son looked at him and said:
“You’ll be there – won’t you?”
“Yes” my friend replied.
His son then said: “Then it won’t be too bad.”
How do you think that made my friend feel?
Can you guess that the son got to go to the meeting?
My friend says that occasionally his son will ask him a question, like
“Who was your favorite band when you were in high school?” or
“Who’s your favorite quarterback?” or
“Who will you vote for to be President?”
His son asks questions like this because he wants to know him, and this desire pleases my friend very much.
In the same way, God is pleased with us when we have a desire to know him.
