I am often asked where I find my inspiration for sermons - this is one place. I believe God speaks to me daily and this is a place where you can look over my shoulder as I write some notes to myself as we journey towards Sunday . . .

Day 295 a note from God: Luke 17-18
Pharisees asked Jesus when God’s kingdom was coming. He replied, “God’s kingdom isn’t coming with signs that are easily noticed. Nor will people say, ‘Look, here it is!’ or ‘There it is!’ Don’t you see? God’s kingdom is already among you.”
Luke 17:20-21 CEB
Ever been to Disneyland? It really is hard to have a bad day there. Everyone seems so nice and helpful and everything is clean and in its place. When you leave, you long for things to be like that.
I think that too often we get caught up in what the Kingdom of God will be like in the future. We impatiently wait for everything to be made right.
And yet, Jesus says the Kingdom of is already here. We just miss it.
You don't have to wait until Heaven to do the right thing . . . as a matter of fact, I don't think you can.
What are you waiting for?
The Kingdom of God is here and you are a part of it. Get to it . . .
