Rev Bill

I have posted my sermon from yesterday on my sermon blog. Based on Jeremiah 31:7-14, 1 Peter 2:1-10, and John 1:1-18 and entitled “We Are All Called”, it is my attempt at a first of year / Elder Ordination and installation service sermon for this year.

Here’s a portion of it:

You remember that Joshua told the people of Israel that they had to choose who they would serve – but as for him – he was going to serve the Lord.
In the same way, you have to choose if you are going to take advantage of the new possibilities – new potential – - and new opportunities God is laying before us – and truly be changed as an individual – and if we will be changed as a Church. But, as Joshua – I want to go on record as saying that – as for me – I want to take advantage of the new possibilities God is laying before us. I want Hopewell to be the Church God would have us be. I want us all to say – when God calls us – “Here I am – tell me what You want me to do”.
Anybody with me?
Anybody else want to listen for God’s call to us – and say to God:
“Here I am – tell me what You want me to do”
