Aug 2 - The upper story
Winds of change
the upper story
August 2, 2020 - Ezekiel 37.15-23
Pastor Bill Williamson
Communion Sunday - please have some bread & juice on hand for the end of the service.
As we continue to look at Ezekiel 37.15-23, we will see that there is always more to the story. In fact, there are two sides to every story. When we look at what is going on in our world, what is called the "Lower Story", there is always something going on in the spiritual world, the "Upper Story". The "Lower Story" is our story, the here and now. The "Upper Story" is God's story, what He is doing as He continues to accomplish His eternal plan.
As you listen to the Word of God, as you engage in worship, we are experiencing both stories coming together. As you pray, you are inviting the "Upper Story" into the "Lower Story" - "Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven."
As you look at your own personal story, the "Lower Story", as you see what is going on in the here and now, personally and globally, keep your heart, soul and mind focused on the "Upper Story", and pay attention to what God is up to.
Because of Christ, and in His Grace,
Pastor Bill
