SUNDAY MORNING COMING DOWN: THE WISDOM OF ELDERS

ONE OF THE STRONGEST RELATIONSHIPS IN THE EARLY FAMILY WAS THE INVOLVEMENT OF FAMILY ELDERS WITH THE DAY TO DAY ACTIVITIES LIVING LIFE.  IT WAS ALSO SEEN IN THE EARLY CHURCH WITH EXPERIENCE AND WISDOM THAT USUALLY COMES WITH LONG LIFE PLAYING A KEY ROLE IN CHURCH DECISION-MAKING. THE BIBLE MAKES IT CLEAR THAT THIS WAS THE CASE AND IT IS ALSO FOUND IN ONE OF THE MOST COMMON DEFINITIONS OF THE WORD ELDER.

SO WHAT DOES THE WISDOM OF THE ELDERS MEAN TO US TODAY AND WITH OUR MODERN LIFE STYLE ARE WE MISSING OUT ON THE WISDOM OF ELDERS? WHAT IMPACT DOES THIS HAVE ON OUR UNDERSTANDING OF THE PAST AND TEACHING FROM EXPERIENCE? WE WILL TALK ABOUT IT ON THIS WEEKEND'S SUNDAY MORNING COMING DOWN AND HOW IT IMPACTS OUR FAMILY LIFE AND OUR CHURCH LIFE.  WE HOPE YOU'LL JOIN US FOR A DEVOTIONAL AS WE PREPARE FOR THAT SPECIAL DAY OF PRAISE, THE SABBATH, WHEN WE RECHARGE OUR SPIRITUAL BATTERIES FOR THE BATTLES OF LIFE IN A TRULY TROUBLED WORLD.  GOD BLESS YOU ALL.
