Romans 15:5-6 - “May the God of endurance and encouragement grant you to live in such harmony with one another, in accord with Christ Jesus, that together you may with one voice glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.”
St. Andrew’s Online

“Then a cloud appeared and covered them, and a voice came from the cloud:
‘This is my Son, whom I love. Listen to him!’”
Mark 9:7
We live in a culture marinated in words. The sheer amount of content on the Internet is staggering and growing each day. In a world where so much information is flowing – through our computers, radio, television, cell phones –how do we know what to pay attention to? All this access to information might be helpful, if we can figure out how to wade through it all. How do we know what to listen to?
God said of Jesus, “Listen to Him!” I talk to Christians who wish they could have lived at the time Jesus walked the earth, so they could listen to Him in person, see Him, Let his warm embrace ease their doubts.
They forget that our culture has unprecedented access to Jesus. A generation or two ago, many Christians homes had only one Bible to share among them. Before invention of the printing press around 1440, copies of the Bible were mostly in churches. And when Jesus walked the earth people had to go to him, with his resurrection who have unlimited access through the Holy Spirit.
As a result we can listen to Jesus any time we want – if we’d only take the time to do so. Sit down and read a portion of the Gospel, reflect on it, hear Jesus’voice. Spend time with Jesus, in his earthy time, and how he would have you live in your time. Truly listen.
Be Alive In Christ! Christ is Risen! Christ is Risen indeed! Alleluia!
In Christ,
Pastor Melissa
