Communion The Second Mile Luke 12 9-2-01

Sermon 9-2-01 communion the second mile

Simple common mundane thoughts,
But thoughts that will change your world

Don’t think as your ancestors did…an eye for an eye
But think about this

What does it mean to be a giving person
How do we become one

We must understand that our life is not our own
Rich fool…Luke 12
Now we are free to act

Turn the other cheek
Give up your pride, forgive

Shirt and coat
Give up your possessions

One mile….go two
Give up your time and energy

Giving is not a natural part of human life
It is a natural part of spiritual life

Liberia
They asked us to give
Story of Liberia
Someone needs our help

Don’t leave today and say the preacher asked you to give your
Time, energy, pride, possessions or money
Preacher asked you to give your life
That is what Jesus did and
That is the standard Jesus sets
That what we are called to be about
