Colony Christian Church members heard the Communion Meditation from Larry Wittmer, who presented: Not your worst nightmare, but close. This nightmare is when we lose the signal on our GPS and become lost, he said. Admitting that were lost kills our confidence, and we dont like to ask for directions. During lifes struggles, we can feel lost and there may appear to be no rest stop in sight. In Mark 2, the friends of a paralyzed man lowered him down through a roof to see Jesus. Jesus forgave his sins, and then healed him. These men walked by faith. Jesus will seek us, but wont force us.
Pastor Chase Riebel gave the sermon on the sixth virtue of the Believe series: Patience. Gods time is not the same as ours. We must learn to wait on Him. Patience is a combination of being slow to anger, and long suffering (not being relieved of sin or suffering). Patience starts with trusting in God. Knowing that he is loving, kind, just, omnipotent (all powerful), and omniscient (all knowing). Proverbs 14:29 tells us that expel with understanding control their anger, and that a hot temper shows great foolishness. So be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to get angry.
