Preparation Scripture: 1 Samuel 16: 1-13 and Ephesians 5: 8-20
Kevin puts an interesting twist on this sermon, given to an attentive audience prior to their making an important decision regarding his nomination as the new minister of Northwest Community Church. We do not choose God. As we participate and play an active role in our Church Community, we do so by God's choice. We have been called, and are continuously discovering the blessings of God working through our lives.
And so it is for Kevin, as well. In the final analysis we are not choosing Kevin as our minister. Kevin has accepted a call to be a servant of God and now feels strongly that he can make a real difference by leading and serving at Northwest Community Church, Salem White Oak Presbyterian. As we enthusiastically accept this choice, we are allowing God to work thru Kevin as he becomes a vital participant in our future.
We all allow God to work through our Church each time we accept his call to participate. Together we will continue to make a positive difference in our lives and the lives we touch. Together we are discovering the future unfolding as we dance in the light of his presence!
