Today’s Sermons, May 22nd
AM – Growing a Health Church: Immunizing the Body of Christ, Aubrey Johnson
PM – Connor McLean
Cowology and Christianity Aubrey Johnson
I n Chick-fil-A territo-ry, we all know the value of cows in
marketing, but did you know cows played an important role in the history of healthcare. The word “vaccination” comes from the Latin root vaccinus, meaning of or from the cow.
Vaccines are a biologi-cal preparation for battling disease through acquired immunity. Thanks to the vaccine, the body can recognize foreign agents as threats and stimulate the immune system to destroy them. The body also keeps a record of threats so it is prepared for subsequent encoun-ters. The World Health Organization reports that licensed vaccines
are currently available to prevent or control twen-ty-five infections.
The body of Christ must also battle infectious diseases that can cause it harm. In today’s ser-mon, we are going to discuss how we can im-munize our congregation to counter the toxic effects of gossip in its various forms. The Word of God can build up our defenses to eradicate hurtful words that can divide or destroy the church. Roll up your sleeve and get ready for some good medicine for your soul.
Set a guard, O Lord, over my mouth; Keep watch over the door of my lips. —Psalm 141.3
An Attitude of Service Lew Foshee
Which Way Do I Go? Todd Wilson
“I will not have to go to this class…. I don’t have
to attend church, if I choose not to….. Will I take
this job or that one?”
Many of our youth will be attending high school and col-
lege graduations. They are moving
on to another stage of life and will
have to make choices they have
never had to make before. They
will be heading off to colleges in
different cities and jobs away from
family. It is a very exciting time in
their lives. What choices will they
make? They are at a crossroad in
their lives. Which way will they go?
When I graduated High School one of my first thoughts
was that I don’t ever have to get up on Sunday morning
and go to church. I didn’t grow up in the church and felt
no real connection. When I came home I was introduced
to the Church of Christ and felt a real connection that has
kept me here ever since. I have never regretted that life-
long decision.
As we grow and mature, each stage of life brings us to a
crossroad and we have to decide which way to go. If we
have had parents or special friends who have given us
the blessing of knowing God, that choice should be an
easy one. Keep God at the fore-front of all you do and
those hard choices in life will be much easier to make.
The Lord will gage your decision-
making process.
Jeremiah 29:11, For I know the
plans I have for you, declares
the Lord, plans to prosper you
and not to harm you, plans to give
you hope and a future.”
God knows what is best for you
and He will direct your ways. He will always be with you,
even when no one else is. Remember what you have
been taught and try to make the best decisions, with God
in mind. We are not perfect and we all make bad choic-
es in our lives, but knowing the Lord is with us and has a
plan for us will make all the difference.
Congratulations to all our graduates! May you go with
the Lord and enjoy what awaits you! YOU know which
way to go!
T o really be of good service in the Kingdom of
God, we must develop an attitude of service.
That attitude is a reflection of our heart. Do we
have the heart of a servant? The
greatest example we have of a serv-
ant’s heart is that of Jesus. Although
His entire life was one of service, our
most notable example is the washing
of His disciples' feet (Jn. 13:1-17). This
lowly, mundane act reveals the heart
of Jesus and sets an example for us. It
was not in spite of His greatness but
because of His greatness that Jesus served His disciples
that night. Through His own attitude toward servant-
hood, He taught us that true greatness in the Kingdom of
God consists not in position or authority but in serving
one another. Paul tells us in Philippians 2:7 that Jesus
took "the very nature of a servant," and Jesus, referring
to Himself, stated that "the Son of Man did not come to
be served, but to serve," (Mt. 20:28). So, how can we
develop the heart of a servant and take on an attitude of
service? We start by sharing ourselves (our time, our tal-
ents, and our energies) with our broth-
ers and sisters in Christ. We look to
others’ needs and we meet those
needs, whether they are physical or
spiritual. As servants in Christ, we find
our niche in the Church where we can
be most useful and we do the Lord’s
work with gladness of heart. Serving
others doesn’t require any special tal-
ent or ability; but, it does take a servant attitude to want
to serve others and an observant eye to see what needs
to be done. There are innumerable opportunities within
our congregation to serve and to be an example. Let’s all
make a relentless commitment to becoming involved in
the work of the church. Determine what your talents are,
and use those to glorify God and lift up His Kingdom.
God Will Show You Which Way
to Go
