Tomorrow we enter into a new season in the church year, the season of Dominiontide. For the next 13 weeks we will be focusing on the kingdom or dominion of God. This year we will study some of the parables of Jesus and once again we will be reminded that often we have things all wrong. Just as Jesus challenged the religious leaders of his day to check themselves, so we too will be challenged to look into the mirror and see ourselves in comparision to God's word.
I have come to see Dominiontide much like Lent....a time of preparation. What are we preparing for now? Advent. More importantly, we are preparing to make this Advent different than any other. This Advent we will have an opportunity to make a difference in our world....and much to everyone's surprise, it will be in a way differnt than expected.
So be sure to make it to church so you do not miss this time of preparation. God's word is powerful. God's word will accomplish what God has purposed. That's a promise. All you have to do is show up and allow it to happen. I'll see you tomorrow.
