Cliff's Message For This Sunday

Dear Friends at Madison Street,
 
If I had been the editor of the Bible, we would have a much slimmer volume!  There are passages that trouble me, and sometimes I’d like to just cut those passages out.  Can you relate to that?  Sometime we cut passages out of the Bible without literally cutting them out.  We just don’t deal with them!
 
This Sunday we’re going to deal with a tough passage.  It’s a passage that’s hard to hear and the words are incredibly challenging.  But it’s also a passage that I believe is foundational for us if we are really serious about Living A Better Story.  So we’re going to deal with it.  Now to be honest, I’ve already backed out of it about three times through the week.  I’ve almost decided, at least a couple of times, to select a different passage.  And if Sunday doesn’t hurry up and get here I may back out yet!!  So I need you to pray for me that I won’t chicken out.  I’m serious.
 
The passage is Luke 12:13-21 and the sermon is entitled, “Living A Better Story—Moving From Success to Significance.”  It has possibilities of not being a bad sermon.
 
If I don’t back out!
 
See you Sunday!

Cliff C. Wright, Jr.
