Welcome to Emmanuel Uniting Church's blog. The purpose of this blog is to help us engage in dialogue with each other on the content of Sunday's sermons. Each week a summary, and some key points from the sermon will be posted. I encourage you to reflect on and wrestle with what has been shared on Sunday, as it relates to your situation in life. Share these thoughts with other members of the congregation by posting your own comments on the blog.
The challenge for us as followers of Christ is to allow his word to seep deeply into all parts of our lives. The sermon on Sunday should not be an opportunity for the preacher to dump alot of words on us and for us then to shrug these off as we go about our lives during the week. Rather the words on Sunday should be food for thought that we mull over, digest slowly and allow them to transform our living. "For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart" (Heb 4:12).
