We have started a new summer sermon series over the 10 commandments. This week we, of course, started with the 1st Commandment. Listen in to hear what Daniel has to share with us about this beginning commandment.

This week Pastor Luke filled in and shared with us John 15, The Gardener, The Vine, and The Branches. Luke spoke about how important it is that we stay connected to the Vine.

We are finally to the end of our series on our recovery from sin. To finish it off, Daniel spoke with us about the 12th step. Having had a spiritual awakening as the result of these steps, I will try to carry this message to others and I will try to practice these principles in all that I do.

This week Daniel shared with us the importance of prioritizing different things in our lives through a very helpful analogy. Listen in to this week’s podcast to find out what analogy he used!

We took a break from our sermon series to celebrate a wonderfully important day, Mothers’ Day. We spent the service celebrating Mom’s, and their influence and example they set for us in our lives. It was a unique service as we had some of the kids from the church share some things they find special about their moms.

We are so close to being finished with our steps to recovery from sin, and to beginning wrapping up Daniel shared with us how we need to, “seek, through prayer and meditation, to improve (our) conscious contact with God - praying for the knowledge of His will for me, and the power to carry it out.” This step reminds us of step two and how our focus on Christ is what helps us in our recovery.

We have come a long way in our recovery from sin and are almost all the way through the 12 steps. As we come closer to the end of the steps its good for us to remember that recovery doesn’t happen just one time, but for the rest of our lives. Daniel spoke with us about the importance of persevering in recovery by, “continuing to take a daily, personal inventory - and when wrong, try and to promptly admit it, and confess it to God.”
