SUNDAYS SERMON

AT GILLIAM UMC

I AM…THE TRUE VINE

JOHN 15: 1-8

 

TOO FUNNY…….

A WIFE RECEIVED FLOWERS FROM HER HUSBAND ON VALENTINE'S DAY. ATTACHED TO THE FLOWERS WAS A CARD WITH A ONE-WORD MESSAGE--"NO." THE WIFE IMMEDIATELY CALLED HER HUSBAND TO THANK HIM FOR THE FLOWERS AND TO ASK HIM THE MEANING OF THE MESSAGE, "NO". 

 

AFTER STUMBLING AROUND A LITTLE, HE FINALLY FIGURED OUT THE ORIGIN OF THE MESSAGE. HE EXPLAINED THAT WHEN THE CLERK HAD ASKED IF HE HAD A MESSAGE TO PUT ON THE CARD WITH THE FLOWERS,

 

HE HAD SAID, "NO." -- YOU HAVE TO BE CAREFUL WITH THESE THINGS ON VALENTINE'S DAY OR YOU CAN VERY EASILY GET INTO BIG TROUBLE!

 

 

THE CONCLUSION OF LAST SUNDAY’S SERMON:

 

     THERE ARE TWO VERY COMPELLING THOUGHTS FROM THIS PASSAGE:

1.  JESUS SEE AFTER HIS FLOCK AS THE DOOR….WE HAVE HIS PROTECTION,  CARE,  ATTENTION,  AND CAN KNOW THAT HE WILL PROVIDE FOR US …HIS SHEEP FOREVER…THAT IS HIS PROMISE…
    
2.  JESUS IS EVER SEEKING TO FIND THE SHEEP THAT ARE MISSING FROM HIS FOLD…THOSE WHO HAVE WANDERED AND THOSE WHO HAVE BEEN SEEKING SOME ONE TO GIVE THE ALL THE THINGS JESUS THE DOOR….OFFERS FREELY…FOR HE HAS PAID THE PRICE FOR US ALL…  I HOPE THAT IF YOU  ARE LOOKING FOR ONE WHO CARES FOR YOU MORE THAN YOU CAN IMAGINE YOU WILL TURN TO THE DOOR AND ACCEPT HIS HOSPITALITY…
    
      JESUS SAID LATER IN THE BOOK OF REVELATION…BEHOLD I STAND AT THE DOOR AND KNOCK…IF ANY ONE OPENS THE DOOR TO THEIR HEART I WILL COME IN AND SUP WITH HIM AND HE WITH ME…….OPEN JESUS THE DOOR AND LET HIM COME IN…
    
    
   MAY YOUR WEEK BE FULL OF
   THE GOODNESS OF THE SHEPHERD
    
   GOD BLESS YOU!!!!
    
   SEE YOU SUNDAY
