Reckless and Ready


People often say they just don't know what God wants them to do, yet time and time it is spelled out for us. In this weeks scripture reading Jesus calls us to be reckless in our love and ready to serve. When we are not ready we often miss opportunities to be of service to Christ and others.

When I chose as a priority getting the Sunday School classroom ready and teachers trained, some were puzzled. But we saw why last Sunday. We had planned to kick-off our children's programming on Palm Sunday, but there was a higher plan. We had one infant, one toddler and eight children among us. Because we were ready, we could quickly adapt and serve eight of those children.

Are you ready to be of service at a moments notice? And do you love recklessly? Think about those two questions and join us Sunday as we continue our Lenten journey. This is such an exciting time in our church and I am so glad God called me to serve at Cornerstone MCC! 

Let's be reckless in our love and set the goal of breaking the attendance record we set last month. Begin to invite your friends, family and co-workers to be your guest on Easter Sunday. They just might surprise you and say yes!
