OUR THEME FOR WORSHIP TODAY
What are you seeking? The prophet Amos proclaims, “seek the LORD and live”! He then speaks of God’s coming judgement and punishment on those who oppose God, including some of God’s own children who have turned away from good and toward evil. “Seek good, and not evil, that you may live” Amos proclaims.
The Psalmist encourages us to “number our days”, as we await our Lord’s coming, crying out “How long?”. St. Mark reveals a rich young man who struggles with a different kind of evil, and a different kind of seeking. Jesus tells him to seek first the kingdom of God, which was not the answer for which he was hoping.
What are you seeking? What can we learn from Jesus and this rich young man?
Peace in Christ,
Pastor Mark
