2 corinthians 3:1-7 Sermon 4-21-02
is the church a place to find comfort
or a place to provide comfort
on the one hand
on the other hand
its both
3 speeds in a car
forward, reverse, neutral
reverse, ok…. neutral…forward, at least 3 options
Reverse
Jesus said come to me all ye that labor and are heavy laden
I will give you a place on a church committee
Those who need comfort should find it
Being burnt by life
Working hard for Christ
Being burnt out for Christ
no one should be guilted into caring about another
Neutral
Don’t be a pew sitter
Demoniac…..Let me go with you – Mark 5:18
Jesus – phillip- etheopian eunuch
Paul – annanians – early church
Maverick – goose/Don’t leave your wing man
There is a need to be fed/And a need to feed others
Each of us needs to be cared for/Each of us needs to care for others
Forward
You will find more of what you want in life
When you learn to help others find what they want in life
forward, I am engaged
go into all the world
Conclusion - Eccl 3 - A time for this, a time for that
When you are ready…Someone is waiting for you
