"It is not seeing and believing, it is believing and seeing..."--Pastor Tony. This morning I went to my home church and worshiped with my church family. I love seeing all of them, and especially catching Pastor Tony's sermons. Today the Gospel was Luke 17:11-19, and I loved the sermon pastor Tony shared with us, so i took some notes. Now of course my notes are not perfect, but I hope I can share with you some wisdom that he shared with us. Pastor shared that many members of the aging congregation are beginning to have eyesight issues. While some are having cataract surgery, others are dealing with glaucoma--which is going to be used as an analogy to our faith--gathering to worship combines our vision, but unlike glaucoma our worshiping is not damaging to our faith. He continued on with explaining the analogy. This is where the analogy ends, glaucoma that is damaging to the eye, is different from our worship which is widening to our faith. Adding worship and obedience widens our faith but it circles back to worshiping and being thankful for the gift of the grace of God that has been given to us. So the question is what do you see?? In essence it is what we believe in our faith. Will you allow Jesus to widen your vision or are we going to settle for blindness??
Thank you Pastor Tony, for such an amazing sermon.
