THIS WEEKEND’S SERMON TITLE: RESET...REFOCUS<br />
THIS WEEKEND’S SCRIPTURE FOCUS: EXODUS 32:1-26<br />
When we have called a halt in the rat race, what do we do? First, a look at<br />
where we are compared to where we want to be is important. Where’s life<br />
headed at the moment? How does that compare to where I want it to be<br />
headed? When the people of God arrive at the foot of Mount Sinai, they are<br />
ready to hear from God. Moses ascends the mountain to receive God’s<br />
words. But then a week passes. Then another one. Pretty soon life settles into<br />
some patterns at the bottom of the mountain, <strong>and</strong> the reason they are there<br />
gets a little cloudy. Before you know it, this set apart people doesn’t look much<br />
different from the pagan Egyptians they just left behind as they bow before<br />
an idol of gold. When Moses comes back down the mountain with God’s<br />
words, the people suddenly remember who they are <strong>and</strong> why they are there.<br />
Life resets always involve time to reconnect with the life we wanted, <strong>and</strong> the<br />
distance the life we’re living is<br />
from that mark.<br />
