Wow, this morning you can learn a lot just from one Sunday.
First our pastor gave more on his sermon about doors (part 5 in the series).
This week he was talking about the hinges on the doors. If the doors didn't have hinges, then there would be no door. The hinges is what keeps the door in the door frame. Without it, there would be no such things as doors. Doors are very important in our lives.........you can go through two rooms and a door would be right in the middle of the two rooms.
Life would be quite interesting if we didn't have doors.
We also have hinges ourselves too. Our elbows and knees are what keep us going every single day.
Without them, we would be useless.
But thankfully God made us the way we are and we are so grateful to have those to make us move.
Also the hinges are signs from God............he'll open the door and he wants us to go through it. Sometimes we just stand and wonder 'i really don't think i want to know what's on the other side of the door' and since we take so long to figure out what to do, He slams the door in our face and we might have just missed a great opportunity. So we need to go through the door even though we have no clue what's on the other side.

He gave us the story about Abraham and his son Issac. If you don't know the story, then here's the short version: God told Abraham to take his son to a mountain and told him to sacrifice (like a lamb) on a platform of wood. But God just wanted to test him.......Abraham didn't sacrifice his son.
God just wanted to see if Abraham would trust him and he did.
His trust was like a door, we go through it even though we don't know what's on the other side of the door.
In Sunday School we had a different set of verses, but still they spoke to me, 'cause I'd heard them from a different perspective.
The verses were Matthew 5: 13-14; talking about the salt and the light of the world.
Salt does not taste good by itself, it gives flavor to whatever you're putting on it.
Like you put salt on beans, chicken, etc.
We're like the beans and the chicken, we have no "flavor", until God sprinkles us with it; and then we have flavor. God sprinkles us to tell the world about him and we go to different places all over the US and the world so that everyone will hear about His story.
The light is always bright. God put light on us again to sprinkle the world about his teachings. We would never put out the light because it would do no use. We need to shine bright for Him.
Ok that's it from Sunday.
