Three Little Words (make all the difference)
From September through November, our worship services follow the “narrative lectionary,” working our way through the larger story of the Old and New Testaments. We reflect on the stories of the Old Testament from Creation through the prophets.
We often presume we are the heroes of our story; we are the ones who do good, who respond to God and Jesus in positive ways. In many ways, that is true. But when we look deeply and are truly honest, we know that each of us has times when we might put ourselves or our desires first, rather than those of our Creator. There are times we use our resources to feed our own appetites rather than honor God. And yet, in Jesus there are both forgiveness and a call to be better. Rev. Ron Bartlow’s sermon “Three Little Words (make all the difference)” is taken from the story of the transgression and repentance of David as told in 2 Samuel (2 Samuel 11:1-5, 26-27; 12:1-9).
