PASTOR'S NOTES

Hello Wesley,

I am back to work. Yeah! This Sunday we have Silver Saints leading the 9:00 service and confirmation of four of God's Gang at the 11:15 service.

My final lesson from 2 Corinthians is a powerful one. Jesus tells Paul, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." And Paul's response, "I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong." 2 Corinthians 12:8-10.

Such a view of life in my later years has brought me peace. There was a time when I battled God over my value because I did not think the circumstances of my life matched my value and commitment to the kingdom. I thought God unfair toward me. And this was an immature view of the kingdom and my role. I now understand with great clarity weakness, becoming empty of self, having no solutions, no answers. I understand now when all that is left in the weakness is faith. And so God has been ever so good to me.
Whatever your circumstances in this life, Know that God is at work doing great things. Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding. I look forward to where God takes us next. We live in such a wonderful, challenging, exciting time for the kingdom. God is at work friends!!!

I love being your pastor.

Ernie
