The message for this Sunday was based on Luke 24:33-35\u00a0 Jesus\u2019 appearance on the road to Emmaus.\u00a0 \u201cWhere do we find God?\u00a0 Where do we encounter Christ?<\/p>\n
Just think of where Jesus was found after the resurrection. He was found in a cemetery garden, then in a room that was locked and shuttered, a room in which a group of men and women hid in fear for their lives. He was discovered on a dusty road outside the city and by the seashore cooking and serving a meal of bread and fish. We might think that some of these ordinary locations were special places, but it is really only our thinking <\/strong>that makes them seem special\u00a0\u00a0 … it is the presence of Christ <\/strong>in those ordinary places that makes them special.<\/p>\n Christ is here today in this place. Christ will appear before you as you go about and talk and work with people around you. Yes, the disciples were a bit slow in recognizing the risen Christ…. they did not think he would appear to them, and we are like them in that respect.\u201d<\/p>\n <\/p>\n NOTICES:<\/strong><\/p>\n There will be no<\/strong> Bible Study this week.
