Meditation:

Many believers are “rabbit hole” Christians. In the morning they pop out of their safe Christian homes, hold their breath at work, scurry home to their families and then off to their Bible studies, and finally end the day praying for the unbelievers they safely avoided all day. – Jan Johnson

To be a witness does not consist in engaging in propaganda nor even in stirring people up, but in being a living mystery. It means to live in such a way that one's life would not make sense if God did not exist. – Emmanuel Suhard 

 A saint is someone whose life makes it easier to believe in God. – William Barclay

Scripture Reading: 2 Corinthians 5:17–20, TNIV - Allison Handysides

INTRODUCTION TO THE SERMON

Today we come to the end of this sermon series, “The Best Thing You Can Do.” It’s been an interesting and rewarding journey, hasn’t it? And we have saved the best till last! Today’s topic is, “The Best Thing You Can Do for Your God.”

So what would that best thing you can do for your God be? Believe in God? Not use God’s name in vain? Accept Jesus and his offer of salvation? Love God? Speak of your gracious God to others? Spend adequate amounts of time reading and studying God’s Word? There are many choices, aren’t there? And what you decide is the best thing might differ from what I decide it to be.

Though there are many significant ways in which we can respond to God – and thus do positive things for and in God’s name – I do have one hope: I hope that by the time this sermon is over, we might actually be in agreement regarding what the best thing is!

Now, a word about our upcoming sermon series: we are turning our thoughts specifically toward Jesus. I know! I know! We always seek to talk about Jesus! And that is as it should be. But in this series, we will consider some of the specific ways in which our faith – the Christian faith – is rooted plainly and simply in a person named Jesus Christ. If Jesus is not at the center of everything we do, then we clearly need to re-examine what we are doing!

There is no better theme; there is no better time. So join us as we consider, “Jesus: First, Last and Best.”

Yours in him.
