August 31, Father Nissen's message

The Gospel reading for today is Matthew 16: 21 - 28.

There are things in life we think we need, such as that white Mustang, a flat panel TV, a certain game, a certain concert we want to attend. These are all wonderful to have, but they will not bring us real life and fulfillment.

Jesus talks about the conclusion of his life of service, including his death and then his resurrection. Jesus very strongly says we MUST grow beyond things to change in our lives to SERVICE. We will find resurrection in our lives if we grow beyond things to listen more to our children, coworkers, and friends, if we spend more time with our church, families, and community..

Jesus calls us always to look outward in our lives, families, and parish families. A good way to look outward as a church family is to develop a mission statement that articulates what St. Andrew's Church is and what we want it to become.
