Last weekend, I led
worship services at a church in Kingman Arizona. I love going to other places and supporting colleagues when they need another pastor. However, when
I agreed to preach there, I forgot it was Valentine’s Day… (Oops!) When I remembered, I knew I had messed
up. First of all, Kira is 8 months
pregnant, and she has a hard time traveling anywhere. Secondly, I had no idea where to make
reservations to celebrate – and I worked that evening anyway... In spite of this, Kira came with me, and we had
a great time. Instead
of going out to eat, we had ice cream, and we watched a documentary on genocide. (A
little unorthodox, but it worked. J) We also met
a bunch wonderful people, and we went away feeling God’s love… As much as I try
to mess things up, it’s great to know God is always there.
This week we are
taking a deeper look at the Greek word Agape. Agape
is the most powerful word for love in the New Testament. It describes how deeply God loves us - even when
we mess up. This week, I pray we may
know that nothing (No sin, trial, or failure) can separate us from the
love of God in Christ Jesus!
Blessings!
