Don't Just Stand There

May 16, 2021

Passage: Acts 1:6-11

Preacher: Rev. Anna Gillette

Summary:

I can only think of a single story were the hero simply stands in place. The story of the young boy who plugged up a dam with his thumb to stop an impending flood. Even then, his “heroism” stems from his action to plug the dam rather than simply stand in place. In a recent commencement message from Dr. Craig Barnes, he shares that it is not prophetic to simply stare outside of a church window and declare the world is in trouble, that does little good, rather “show us how to live and that the story isn’t over yet.”
