Sermon notes from Brian Conklin‘s message
at Madison Valley Presbyterian Church today.
Isaiah painted a picture
of people on their way.
They arrive atop a mountain
Where everyone has their say.
Nations shall not rise up
Against other nations anymore.
Isaiah promises our future
Will hold that peace from shore to shore.
We’re all moving toward God’s judgement.
Our hope is rooted to God’s future.
Romans 13:11-14 says, “Live like people
Who are headed for the dawn.”
God is asking us to wake up
And be a people on the move…
Moving toward God’s promised peace.
Pick God’s goals as The Way you choose.
Don’t stop, my friends. The hike is worth it.
The view is stunning from the top.
You’re on a journey to the new Kingdom.
So, be reminded: keep engaged; don’t stop.
Live in a way that causes you to see
There is a beautiful Kingdom to come.
Love, pursue peace, and resist darkness.
Walk in the light of the Lord. Don’t be dumb!
No, Brian’s sermon didn’t include “Don’t be dumb!”
I had to add that cuz it caught my mood – – –
And besides, I needed something that rhymed with kingdom!

Thank you, Dana. Hope you had a wonderful November. Bless you!
And it rhymes 🙂
Amen, Amen
The message Sunday was about being thankful in both good times and bad.
Easy in good times. Tough when they’re not! 😮💨
