Prayer: Dear God, may your word of Good News and love come to us fresh so we listen with interest. Keep us from empty deceit. Guide us to the Good News. Amen
Reading: Colossians 2: 6-15 (Click to read text) Stop and GROW: After reading the text, discuss/ponder the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America's Book of Faith questions, which are part of Camp Mount Luther's GROW Time with campers. QUESTION 1: What scares, confuses, challenges, or doesn’t make sense to me in this text? QUESTION 2: What delights me in this text or is my favorite part of the story? QUESTION 3: What stories or memories does this text stir in me? QUESTION 4: What is God up to in this text? Reflection: I look forward to our Sunday sermons. Our pastor comes up with some of the most intriguing titles such as, “Where’s the Chicken?”, “There’s a Hole in my Cellar” and, just this past Sunday, “So What’s the Question?”. With titles like these you really want to listen. Sometimes I try to ’’listen” to the world news but soon lose interest. I prefer our pastor’s sermons filled with the Good News. I am reminded of verse 8 of our text today, "Do not become captive to empty deceit." Listen with interest to that which is full of life and love. -- Alice Yeakel
