INTRODUCTION TO THE SERMON


2011!  Is it actually possible that we have arrived at the New Year again?!  It seems that the years are picking up speed!  The very positive reality, however, is that we are simply another year closer to meeting Jesus face to face.

What will 2011 hold?  What will be its challenges, its blessings?  What events will unfold in the world this year?  Who will be born; who will die?  What marriages will begin, and which ones will end?  Who will graduate, and who will choose to leave school unfinished?  And what opportunities to know Jesus better will you take advantage of?

The curtain is just beginning to lift on the New Year as we gather for worship today.  And yet, what better way to begin a new year than to do so in the presence of the Lord and in the context of worship?  And what worship service is better to take part in that one which celebrates communion?

So, as we come to the New Year, and as we come to the Supper Table of the Lord, may his grace of accepting forgiveness and his power for growth toward maturity be the foundation stones on which your year is built.

Happy New Year!
