This morning as we prepare for what we call our Annual Meeting I would like us to reflect on a couple of questions: Lord, What Do You Want Me to Do? And then as an extension of this question I would also like us ask concerning HP, Lord, What Do You Want Us to Do?
In Acts 20, Paul is on trial for his faith in Christ (Acts 20:1-2). He starts out by pointing out his credentials as a Jesus persecutor (Acts 20:3-5) followed by his miraculous conversion (Acts 2:6-8). He proceeds to ask the question I want us to address this morning “What shall I do, Lord?” (Acts 2:9-10).
In response to that question I think it is helpful to see what Jesus asks us to do…serve others with Jesus as our example (Jn 13:1-15).
The bar is set high, but there may be no other way to break through to the other side.
