No matter how hard we try, each of us experience failures in our lives. We get angry and lose it; we don't do what we say we will do; we stretch the truth; we don't tell the whole story; we enjoy listening to and maybe even repeating gossip. We are unfaithful to our partners; we make decisions we regret; we take things that do not belong to us. We let days go by without communicating with God; we fail to act upon our faith, just to name a few.
The good news of the gospel is that there is forgiveness for our failures. It's God's will that we are forgiven and that we forgive ourselves. Yet most of us have at least one failure that holds us back. We remember, we relive, and we regret. It's important to God that we have a way to move beyond our failures and walk in freedom. How we do that is what I'll be preaching on this Sunday. So bring your favorite failure to church, move beyond it, and go home forgiven. And if you know someone struggling with a failure, invite them to church and lunch afterward.
It's Pot Luck Sunday so make us something good to eat!
Rev Sandy, Pastor
