Rev. Kevin Murphy
Preparation Scripture:
Deuteronomy 12: 5-7, 1st Thessalonians 1: 2-10, and Luke 22: 14-23
This sermon is the third of a four part series describing the distinct stages of our new Order of Worship at Northwest Community Church including: GATHERING, THE WORD, RESPONDING TO THE WORD, and SENDING.
Kevin reminds us of the many responses that are demonstrated in nature and our daily lives. When we hear “... the Word of the Lord” our response is “thanks be to God”. How we respond to God's Word reflects how we receive God's Word. And the Word delivered in each sermon IS the inspired Word of God. Our natural response to the Word is joy expressed in song, even though the Word is sometimes painful. As we recognize that God loves and cares for us, we somehow bloom like the first flowers of spring in response.
