LISTENING FOR GOD'S VOICE--A VISION FOR THE FUTURE

On Sunday, February 28, the spiritual leaders of Arlington Presbyterian Church (the session) offered a vision to the congregation for our future ministry.  The packet, detailing the vision, can be found here.  This vision is bold and big.  It is a vision that moves us from planning only for survival to imagining what could be, what needs to be and what God wants.  The video presentation should be available here soon.  For questions or comments, please be in touch via e-mail.
LENT IN ACTION

Following on our Faith in Action experience, during the next six weeks we will be focusing on LENT IN ACTION.  Daily there will be reflections for you to read and pray over.  May this be a blessed Lent.

 

Be strong in the Lord and in the strength of His power.--Ephesians 6:10

In the story of David and Goliath, we see that physical prowess and strength are no match against the power of God.  The ability of little boy David to topple the might Goliath is a testament to the power of God at work within David.  The "Goliaths" of our day (financial burdens, physical ailments, relationship problems) are no match for the power of God within us, either.  His strength inside us makes it possible for us to strip our "Goliaths" of their control over us and give complete control over to God.

Fill me with Your strength when I am feeling weak.  Amen.

These reflections are taken from Creative Communications
READING FOR PRAYER AND REFLECTION

Each week we post a scripture reading (usually a reading for the coming Sunday).  You are invited to read the passage and reflect on the question asked.  May these readings be a blessing.

Luke 15:1-3, 11b-32

This passage from Luke is what is commonly known as the Parable of the Prodigal Son.  It could also be known as the Parable of the Loving Father as seen in this section of the passage.

So he set off and went to his father. But while he was still far off, his father saw him and was filled with compassion; he ran and put his arms around him and kissed him.
Then the son said to him, ‘Father, I have sinned against heaven and before you; I am no longer worthy to be called your son.’
But the father said to his slaves, ‘Quickly, bring out a robe—the best one—and put it on him; put a ring on his finger and sandals on his feet.
And get the fatted calf and kill it, and let us eat and celebrate; for this son of mine was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found!’ And they began to celebrate.

How have you experienced this kind of love in your life?  When have you shared this kind of love with others?
