Yesterday at worship we had a visiting pastor preach. This guy, Jud Wilhite, is a pastor at a very large Las Vegas church and even referred to our pastors, Dave and Kyle, as a pastoral dream team. He is right on the money and had big shoes to fill. Well, let me tell you, that Las Vegas church is as blessed to have Jud as we are to have Dave and Kyle. His sermon (go check it out here — http://www.southeastchristian.org/default.aspx?page=4754&series=55) was humorous, well done and hit home with some very good, poignant points on “Pursued For Relationship” where God pursues us in love.
Right out of the gate this quote hit me (and would probably hit MANY non-church folks out there):
“God isn’t out to get you (like a cosmic policeman). He’s out to LOVE you!”
Here are the others:
- “You can run FROM God or you can run FOR God but both can be equally exhausting. Just run TO God and rest in Him.”
- “Marriage is not about the contract; it is about the relationship.”
- “The most important thing about our relationship with God is not our love for God. It is His love for us.”
- “When we get to the end of our lives, the ONLY things that matter are our relationship with God and our relationship with those around our death bed.”
Again, I encourage you to go check out Jud’s sermon — http://www.southeastchristian.org/default.aspx?page=4754&series=55
