Hello Everyone,
We are back from our trip. I was gone December 25 so there is no sermon recording for that Sunday. I will post below the bulletin for December 25 and January 1 as well as the sermon from January 1.
Next week I will resume our series on the Beatitudes, but yesterday I wanted to do a New Years sermon. I use an Iphone and I keep the location services turned off. I don’t like the idea that Apple or Google or anyone else is keeping tabs on me and where I go. I don’t even like using the savings cards that stores offer for discounts, though I do. I like saving the money more at this point than the marketing they are doing on me by tracking my purchases. There are more and more stories about how we are being watched and what we do recorded that just make me nervous. It’s not that I am doing anything that I am really worried about, but it is interesting how as I become more aware of the cameras watching me and what I do being recorded, I find that it does affect my behavior. I live my life better when I can conduct my life so that I have nothing to be ashamed of. I need to remember that though I can turn of the Location Services on my phone (I am trusting that it really turns off) I cannot turn Location Services off on God. We need to live our lives so that whatever we do is to God’s glory and we do not have to be ashamed about our lives. Let’s live this year so that we can bring glory to God with our lives.
