Every single moment is a gift. We need to recognize God in the moments.

If we claim Christ as Lord, Christ is within us. Today's Gospel is black & white, but there is Grace in this story. The question is why don't we help others everyday.

We are to bear & share the light of Christ. Time for Spiritual Maintenance keeping the Spritual Light: Sin - Confession, Lack of fuel - Pray, read Bible, Lack of air - focus on others, not yourself

Parables have deeper meanings. Look at what we do daily. Look at priorities, recognize grace,be ready. Pay attention to what is important every day. Don't miss the party!! Be ready.

Our faith gives us perspective. Blessing - God's intentional presence in our lives. Comfort - easing of pain & distress.

Freedom is a myth. We are slaves to sin. But if we believe in Christ, He will set us free.

Worshipping is about God. It is intentional and should be personal. It moves our spirit, involves our whole being, brings the Holy Spirit, and transforms our lives.

Rejoice in the Lord. Let the joy that is in us flow out of us and into the world.

Righteousness comes from faith in Christ, the righteousness from God based on faith.

The right actions are important but the right attitude is critical. Be in an attitude of Humility, Service and Love.
