Sunday Morning Sermon- October 18, 2020
Think about your car. Your engine is made of all these parts that work together. Each part is following the rules wired into it, so that it all works together. As far as your engine knows, your car is a closed system. But we actually know that we often have to pull over and put gas into the system. We also know we have to change the oil, to keep the system working like it should. You and I actually move in and out of the car’s “closed” system. We come and go from the car, and we actually maintain the system. A car isn’t actually a closed system at al and it can't fix itself. Do you know what faith is? It’s not just accepting that we live in an open system. Its not just believing in the miraculous. Do you know what faith is? Faith is giving Jesus authority over my life (always taking my car to his shop) because I believe he can actually fix what’s broken inside me. That would take a mechanic with an authority beyond any other.
