Power of Remembering

Great victory for the Utes in the Sugar Bowl against mighty Alabama! Didn't think they could pull it off. Good for them! The four million dollar coach was out coached! You gotta love that.

One thing that our associate minister began when he came to Southside was he calls a family banner. Each month we celebrate the events of the past month. We make patches of baptisms, activities, significant events, etc. Tomorrow is our final patches for 2008.

So, the theme for tomorrow's sermon is "Remembering". I think it's significant that God tells his people time and time again - remember! God told them to erect altars, monuments, observe feasts - all to remember!

For the most part, our churches don't realize the importance of remembering. We don't value physical symbols that can remind us of God's grace and goodness. The danger is in worshiping the symbols themselves, but we go overboard the other way and ignore the power of symbols.

Anyway, tomorrow promises to be a good day of worship. Looking forward to it.
