Breaking the Cycle

Why do we keep making the same mistakes?
How can we break this cycle?

God offers us an escape from the endless cycle of mistakes and past failures.

That escape, of course, is Jesus Christ Himself.

 - Denny Burnette

Scripture Readings:
​Matthew 25:14-30; Judges 4:1-10

The Eternal Return

God can not only enter our midst at any time, at any moment.
God does enter our lives all the time, at any moment.
God enters our lives every day. 
So we need to decide – every day — how we’re going to respond to his presence.

 - Denny Burnette

Scripture Readings: 
1 Thessalonians 4:13-18
Matthew 25:1-13

As children of God we recognize that God made all people from the same earth. 
 
Therefore, we must work for 
unity, not division. 
Cooperation, not competition. 
Construction, not destruction. 
Building bridges that unite, not walls that separate.

Hatred, violence, and fear do not work. They’ve never worked. 

As Christians we know this. We must say it.  And we must live it.

 - Denny Burnette

Scripture Readings:
Matthew 23:1-12
Joshua 3:7-17

Eat This Bread

Picture
When we refuse to obey Christ, 
When we ignore justice and mercy, 
When we break our baptismal vows to love and serve God, to bring our children to church, to place into their hands the Holy Scriptures – 

God’s heart breaks.

 - Pat Nabers

Scripture Readings:
Philippians 2:1-13
Matthew 21:23-32

Compassion is the knowledge that there can never really be any peace and joy for me until there is peace and joy for you.

You Bet Your Life

Picture
Whom do we choose to believe?
Whom do we choose to trust?
Whom do we choose to follow?

The tyrants of this world, the "realists?"
Or the rocks of faith who insist on doing the Christ-like thing? 

The ones who persist in showing goodness, mercy, humility, and compassion -- even in the face of evil and brutality.


We stake our very lives on the answer. 
  • Denny Burnette  

    Scripture Readings
    Exodus 1:8-2:10; Matthew 16:13-20

Alternative Endings

Picture
You know as well as I do that 
this world desperately needs
more forgiveness and less fighting
more reconciliation and less retribution.

And here's the question:
If we Christians aren't the ones leading the way in this task, 
then who do we expect to take our place? 

 - Denny Burnette

Scripture Readings:
Genesis 45:1-15
​Matthew 15:21-28

Never Too Late

8/13/2023

Picture
When we keep our sights focused on God, we stay afloat. 

But when we allow ourselves to become distracted with all the nagging concerns and worries that scream at us every minute of every day we lose our focus. 

We start to slip.

Our worries and fears wash over us like angry waves.
- Denny Burnette

Scripture Readings:
Romans 10:5-13
Matthew 14:22-23
