Time for a RE:Boot

“Reboot” has become a common word in 21^st Century lingo.  We use it to describe a restart, a course correction after veering away.  Those who use computers on a regular basis know the horror of being in the middle of a project, only to have the program freeze and needing to turn the computer off in order to restart the program, losing hours of work along the way.  Recently, a group of dedicated leaders at our church attempted to Reboot our church programing and participation through the Back to Jesus Bash (Aren’t we grateful?).

Just a few years ago, I considered myself a good preacher and a half-way decent pastor.  I was driven to reform the church, to change the church from what it has been to what it needs to be to address the challenges of today.  I read about church growth, about innovation in worship and technology, about moving from discipleship through Sunday School to discipleship through small groups.  I went to seminars and conferences that instructed me and others how it should be done.  But I was hollow inside.  My drive to be a better pastor, better preacher, better leader left me frozen like a computer program.  It was time for a Reboot!!

Our next Sermon Series is entitled RE:Boot.  The series will take us into the Pauline Epistles, challenging us to examine various areas of our lives where a fresh start is needed.  On September 7^th, we will look at our need to RE:concile Relationships.  On Sept 14^th, we will explore our need to RE:imagine Regret over past mistakes.   Then, we’ll RE:frame Prayer by focusing on the subject of our prayer life.  And we’ll conclude the series on September 25^th with a sermon titled RE:thinking Happiness which will consider where true happiness is to be found.

So, if it’s time for a RE:Boot in your life, I hope you’ll make Sunday worship a priority in the month of September and share this upcoming series with a friend and invite them to attend with you. 

Grace and Peace to You … Pastor Tucker
