Little is Great When God is at Work!

Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
And never brought to mind?
Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
And days of auld lang syne?
And days of auld lang syne, my dear,
And days of auld lang syne.
Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
And days of auld lang syne?

I have been singing this song for years but I never knew what it meant. I did some searching on Google and found out that it is a song of rembrance of things long ago. What a perfect song to begin the new Church year. This Sunday marks the first Sunday in Advent. Advent is a time of hope and expectation. We look back to the stories of Jesus and what he did and we look forward to his return to earth. Jesus came to earth as a helpless baby but soon grew to be a man who took on the weight of our sin. For little is great when God is at Work.

Our message this week is based on Matthew 13:31-34. It is the parable of the mustard seed and the yeast. In both of these parables Jesus reminds us that little is great when God is at work.

Take some time reading this passage to help prepare for worship this week.

Other readings for this weekend:
Old Testament: Isaiah 64:1-8
New Testament: 1 Corinthians 1:3-9
Gospel: Mark 11:1-10

I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving and I hope to see you at Church.

Peace in Christ,
Vicar Seth
