This Week at Osprey
November 20, 2009
‘Twas the weekend before thanksgiving and all through the house… well, I’ll have to work on the rest… Hope your week has been going well.
Sara said to me this week that she was on holiday mode. It looks like the whole church is on Holiday mode. So much going on. So much being planned. If you are not careful, you can plan the fun and joy right out of Thanksgiving and Christmas.
This Sunday we discover where David turned for support and strength when he felt fear. Then on Sunday evening, we learn why Peter called us a “Royal Priesthood”. And you thought only men could become priests!
Here’s what’s going on:
THIS WEEK:
- Sunday Morning – “Where do I Turn When Afraid?”
- Sunday Evening – “A Royal Priesthood”
- Tuesday Night – Thanksgiving Service @ 7:00 pm. There are a limited number of tickets available. They can be purchased for $5 in the various Sunday School classes this Sunday
- Wednesday – No Wednesday night service
- Thursday – Happy Thanksgiving
FROM MY HEART:
“We have nothing to fear but fear itself”. So said Franklin D. Roosevelt when out country was facing dark depressing times.
Life hasn’t changed much, has it? We still have lots of fears.
Fears come from outside and inside. We have the economy and the threat of terrorism. We have our own reaction to these events in our own hearts and minds.
So where do we turn for help? Where can we turn for peace of mind? Where do we find what we are all so desperately seeking?
The warrior-poet David had his share of fears. He lived a stressful life. He had powerful enemies who were trying to kill him. He had supposed friends who slapped his back when he was strong and slapped his face when he was down. He had sinful longings and actions nagging at him. At times, he had the disciplinary hand of God training him to do what is right.
Where did he turn? That’s what we discover from Psalm 27. Join us as we learn who and where David turned in times of trouble.
I’ll see you in church this Sunday.
In Jesus Grip,
Pastor Tom
