Stewardship of the Good News
Whats the point of church? Why do we come week after week? Is it
to connect with friends? To have our slate wiped clean for a fresh
start? Or to get a fresh outlook before another week of the
same-old, same-old?
Do you find comfort in the songs or the liturgys build-up to
Communion? Are you encouraged by a sermon or do you feel connected
through the prayers? Does gathering in this community help you
serve others outside these walls? Why do we come week after
week?
And what do you do when you dont feel fed? And what does that
mean anyway, for you to be fed in church?
These are the questions that haunt me sometimes wondering what
our needs are as people part of a congrega-tion, and sometimes
worrying if those needs are being met. But then Im reminded in the
most rewarding ways that church isnt what we get out of it, but
what God pours into us.
Im reminded that the church is about one person and thankfully
that one person isnt the pastor its Jesus. Its about Gods love
shown to us in the one who is willing to die for us. The songs, the
prayers, the sermons, the meal all point to Jesus.
When Jesus is the focus of church, it becomes everything I
listed above and then some: connection with other Chris-tians,
clean slate and fresh eyes, comfort, encouragement, strength for
living, and connection to God.
Some Sundays that message is clearer than others. Sometimes the
words spoken or the songs sung or the prayers prayed or the bread
and wine received strike a chord with us, move within us, and stir
us to a deeper faith in the one who loves us and gave his life for
us. Other times they dont ( God help us when those times outnumber
the times we feel fed.)
But when we as a church and as individuals are centered and
focused on Jesus, we will be fed and filled. Jesus said, I am the
bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never be hungry, and
whoever believes in me will never be thirsty (John 6:35).
If youre feeling unfed, I invite you to reflect on those opening
questions and talk to someone about your answers. Participate in
worship with the question where is Jesus? in the forefront of your
mind. And remember, in the times youre feeling unfed or
disconnected, Gods Spirit is right alongside you with sighs too
deep for words.
Your brother in Christ, ~Pastor Matthew
