Today we had a few minutes to visit and reflect on the week. We spoke about several things, but always his first concern is the welfare of the individual members of the congregation, each with their various health challenges and other prayer needs. The congregation is "family" and Pastor Dan is a natural shepherd and brother in Christ.

When the "family" talk was done, we drifted into conversation about this week's upcoming sermon. He told me that he had decided to vary from the long-running sermon series on Romans he's been preaching on lately, and would be preaching on the Psalms — specifically Psalms 4 and 5. It's an old theme that calls Pastor Dan from time to time to remind us that the Psalms have been used for centuries as prayers, and to point out the old Hebrew daily rhythm of the evening as the beginning of the daily cycle. As pastor Dan has often preached from the pulpit, "God is at work all night while we are sleeping, and when we wake up we should be eager to see what He is doing and eager to see how we can get in on it!"

It's a good rhythm and a refreshing contrast to our normal cycle. Specifically, it calls attention to the fact that God is in charge of everything and gives us His grace to live and work in His creation.

Join us this Sunday at Christ Church and hear this refreshing sermon which I know will bless you! For those of you who cannot join us in our sanctuary this week, come back either here on SermonAudio or on our Christ Church web site at ChristChurchConroe.org and listen.
