                    FEELINGS ASIDE
A man once came to a preacher and said, "I was filled with joy in the meeting yesterday. Now it has all gone—all—and I do not know what to do. It is as dark as night." 
"I am so glad," was the preacher's reply. 
He looked at the servant of Christ with astonishment and said, "What

                    He Set It All Aside
By Dan Adkins And Tracy Dartt
Somewhere Upon A Distant Land
Long Ago, And Far Away
Was A Crown Of Gold And Precious Jewels
Still Unequaled To This Day
It Was A Crown Desired By Kings And Princes 
Throughout The Years Of Time
But The King For Whom The Crown Was Made
For Love...

Have you ever thought you could separate from God ... just for a little while ... and then later on turn back to God?  Unfortunately we all do this ... in big ways or small ways.  Any time we decide to live a life INDEPENDENT of God, we run a big risk.

                    Some of us make it a practice to set aside one evening of advent a year to cruise the residential areas of the city or town we live in and admire the unique display of Christmas lights.  I am overwhelmed by all the work and money that goes into some of those elaborate outdoor Christmas displays. I

                    Jesus willingly put aside His divine glory and became the lowest of humans, a poor carpenter from a backwater town in Galilee.  He suffered and because he obediently suffered the death of a slave, he was crowned with glory and honor.  The idea was to bring many of God’s children to the same glory,

                    Jesus took the deaf mute man aside, away from the crowd, stuck his fingers in the mans’  ears and spat on his tongue.  What Jesus was doing here of course was touching the affected areas.  He put his fingers in the man’s ears because this was the location of his disability.

In order to symbolize as an act of worship, I want you to take the beach glass that you received early. Feel it. Feel it’s hardness. Feel it’s roughness. Let this be a symbol of your past. Your sins.
