Monopoly!

When I was young, a long time ago, my friend Danny and I would play Monopoly in the summer. We would swim until we were exhausted and then we would go up to our basement and start these ongoing Monopoly games. Ongoing because there were times when we would play the same game for days. Building our properties with houses and hotels. We would play until someone would go bankrupt and then start all over. But we did something one summer that eventually ruined our appetite for the game. We changed the rules. Instead of doling out the amount of money that the games rules stated, we would start the game with twice as much money or sometimes three times as much. Although this was very exciting at first, we found out that the game was no longer as fun and challenging and as I recall that was the last time Danny and I ever played the game again. True story!

Christianity is not a game. We change, society changes, our lives change in many ways, but the bible says this about Jesus:

Hebrews 13:88 Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.

There are going to be some changes to our service soon. But the reason for our service, Jesus, will remain the same. A real person who came to earth to make changes in our relationship with God. He will be the focus and the reason for our worship!

REMINDER!  NO CHURCH this Sunday due to Immanuel Methodist parking lot party! There will be food, games, music, car show. All are welcome to attend.

See you soon! Love, pastor kent
