Sermon Video
So, I grew up going to a beautiful old (in every way) Methodist church in downtown Waco.
My mom sang in the choir, which meant my siblings and I needed someone to watch us every Sunday. That someone was Ms. Sandra Test, a sweet elderly woman, who, to curb our boredom, would do little scribbles on the bulletin for me and my siblings and then we would have to turn them into something - a dog, a cat, etc. She did her best, but we were bored out of our minds. In fact, I associated church with two words: boredom and buildings.
I don’t associate the church with those two words anymore. Praise God! The church has come to mean so much more to me. Now, the words that come to mind are more inline with what God has in mind for His Church. And I am excited to celebrate that with you this weekend as we look at the second shared value we have at North Highlands: We are Family.
