Members and Friends of Austin Mennonite Church
I pray you are refreshed and encouraged as you live in the presence of
God's kingdom here with us.
The experience of human life in the earth is a mystery that unfolds as
we experience our journey through time. From birth to death there is a
natural flow to our developing capacities and awareness. The interplay
of physical creatureliness with the psychological components of emotion,
passion, reason, and imagination creates a profoundly complex yet
sufficiently composed foundation from which we can reach out and engage
the world with our uniquely individual sensitivities and capabilities.
Despite the diversity of human appearance and expression, a common
ambition defines the longing of every person: to find a way to live out
the pattern of existence that brings contentment to the human spirit and
heart. This accomplishment might be called ‘the attainment of
personhood’--the actual discovery of the distinctive performance for
which the individual has been fashioned by the divine mystery of
creation. Joy and fulfillment are the blessings that come as we continue
to honor our personal adventure of life in the earth.
The scriptures we will consider this next Sunday are 1 Kings 17:17-24;
Luke 7:11-17; and Galatians 1:11-24. Thoughts from these passages will
compose the sermon, 'Living from the heart.'
May it go well with you. Sincerely,
Garland Robertson
