Every week I receive the bulletin for the upcoming Sunday worship service in my email. It contains the announcements and the Scripture reading which our pastor is going to base his sermon on. A few weeks ago, I decided to read the scripture passage and write a blog entry containing my thoughts on the passage as a way to prepare for Sunday morning worship. I do not know how long I will continue doing this, but it seems to be an exercise that has some value.

This weeks scripture passage is Jeremiah 2:1-19

    God’s message to His people through Jeremiah discusses how eager they were to please Him in the early days of their knowing Him. Do you remember how eager you were to please God when came to know Him through Jesus? Are you still as eager as you were then? Or are we like the Israelites of old? Have we started worshiping worthless idols? Are we more interested in watching football on Sunday than in fellowship with our fellow believers? For that matter, are we more concerned with someone disrespecting the flag than with us disrespecting God?
