Dear Church Family,
Love is the meat!!! About a year and a half after arriving here at Klamath Falls I heard a comment referring to the content of the future sermons. There was hope that the sermons would have more meat in them instead of all the talk about love. I have processed that comment a few times and have come to the conclusion that love is the meat. God is love, anything we learn from God will have love as its foundation. Love is the staple of a Christian’s life. Without it we are nothing and do not know God.
One author, Ellen White, writes in Steps to Christ, “Here is where thousands fail; they do not believe that Jesus pardons them personally, individually. They do not take God at His word.” What is His Word about? The answer is the Gospel or good news, God’s interaction and love for a lost world. It is not possible to correctly represent God or scripture and leave love out.
The sermon series we are in the middle of, “Steps to Christ,” is prayerfully meant to draw everyone into a relationship or a deeper relationship with Jesus. When He is in your life, you have all the meat you need. He is our daily bread and the water of life, if you need more come to Him. He will feed and give water to all that hunger and thirst. Please continue to include in your prayers that the Author of Love will continue to bless and feed us all throughout this summer.
Bound for Glory,
Pastor Luke
Our School
Devoloping a Close Relationship with Jesus
Greetings Church Family,
It doesn’t take long to spot the portable tents in the parking lots around Klamath Falls, or any other town in America, this time of year. And if you have ever stepped inside one, there is a good chance a big smile will break across your face. All the colorful packages are only waiting for an orange flame to touch the fuse. It becomes a challenge to pick out which one will provide the most dazzling display. Of course if you live in my neighborhood, you will have the opportunity to observe most of the displays for three or four days surrounding July 4.
Independence, or we could say the power of choice, is a gift instilled in the human race from the very beginning of our existence. Adam and Eve were given this gift in the Garden of Eden and chose to use it many times for good. We are not given all the times they chose to obey God and ate from all the sources other than the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil. God not only gave them the option of choosing against Him, but God gave them the option of choosing good, for Him. I have come to understand that God is good for giving all of us the option of choosing good. And if we choose Him and His ways we are truly free and independent. That choice for goodness and righteousness is truly something to celebrate. This month celebrate, and thank God for giving us the option to choose for good and righteousness.
Let’s choose to give our hearts and wills to Him so that we can take part in that dazzling display of His Second Coming and go home forever with Him.
Bound for Glory,
Pastor Luke
