Weekly reflections on the scriptures from our Worship Services at Roser Church, Anna Maria, Florida.
28 OCT 2024 · Without light, we are destined to stumble in the dark. In the dark, bad things happen and people get hurt. Jesus uses this light image to describe His entrance into a world engulfed by spiritual darkness.
20 OCT 2024 · In many cultures, bread symbolizes a basic need for nourishment. Without it, people starve. Jesus uses this analogy to describe our fundamental need for Him in our lives.
7 OCT 2024 · “Coveting” begins in a discontented heart. We see greener grass in our neighbors’ yard, and we assume they have a better life. This inner emptiness robs us of the joy we might otherwise find in our own yard. A blessed life requires that we realize that we are always blessed, even when we don’t feel like it.
23 SEP 2024 · Telling lies in court is still a crime, even in our culture. In God’s court, however, it is more than criminal. It reveals a morally corrupt environment where the rich and powerful take advantage of those who cannot afford justice. A blessed life, however, requires us always to ensure that truth is spoken when people are held accountable.
16 SEP 2024 · The war between haves and have nots is historically waged in every culture. Broken cultures find it easier to take from one another rather than share with one another. This addiction to things is an infection that is hard to cure. A blessed life, however, requires the opposite from us, to love one another rather than take from one another.
9 SEP 2024 · When sex is taken out of its God-ordained context of love, brokenness occurs in many forms. When God created the human reproductive process, He intended sexual partners to remain committed to one another, so that children produced from their union could be raised in a context of love. A blessed life requires us to honor the important role that love plays in our desire for intimacy.
2 SEP 2024 · Murder is the extreme case, when one person assumes the right to take another human life. Jesus teaches us that murder is born out of hate, and neither have a place in His world. A blessed life requires us to avoid the destructive power of hatred.
26 AUG 2024 · People have changed in many ways, but families still form a core part of all cultures. God’s story regularly works through families, and He expects people to honor that work. A blessed life requires a respect for the roles of both children and parents.
19 AUG 2024 · We humans naturally divide our lives into sacred and secular categories, and sometimes these aspects remain separated. God instituted the Sabbath, however, to ensure that His people continually kept Him first in their hearts and minds. A blessed life requires us to live every day in the sacred presence of our Holy and Loving God.
12 AUG 2024 · What if God held us accountable to promises made in His name? What if He were listening to every conversation in which His name is mentioned? A blessed life requires us to remember that a Divine judge is a witness to every word we speak.
