Giving Honor

Pastor Ron Musch, Lighthouse Regional Church (Concord)

This passage sheds some interesting light on the power of honor. Jesus was being harassed for healing a man on the Sabbath. In response, Jesus said His ability and authority to heal the man did not come from Himself, but it flowed through Him because He honored the Father! How did Jesus honor the Father? He lived out the Father’s will on earth. How did Jesus discern the will of the Father? Jesus withdrew to a quiet place to be with the Father in prayer. There He spent time in the Father’s presence, waiting to hear and discern what was on the Father’s heart and mind.

Truth won’t change you until you put it into practice.

“We are educated far beyond our obedience. Our goal is for each one to have one relationship with one person who seems far from God.”

SENT

Artist: Lori Butler

As disciples of Christ we are sent to “go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit .” (Matthew 28:19). Our church is SENT to care for others in need, in our city and in our world. The Hawaiian shirt is an allegory for the typical modern Christian.
