Árger CÁËic Worship 8: 30, 9: 50 & 11:10 a.m.

PhiÃppians 3:17 - 4:1 Rev. CharÃe Wilfong

The parabÂ of the cÄck recounts the story of the family member in current poËeËion of the heirloom, mechanical, chiming cÄck. It Äoked & sounded beautiful ~ when it worked. It was constantly being painstakingly transported to the repair shop. There were always repairs or maintenance required in order for the cÄck to run, chime, & keep time. Someone finaÀy asked, "Do you own the cÄck or does the cÄck own you?" That's not only a good question for high-maintenance items, but for aÀ of our poËeËions and aËets. Do they control our time, choices, & activities? Are we Árger and greater than our poËeËions? If they are not in charge, then who or what is directing our Ãves?

The parable of the clock recounts the story of the family member in current possession of the heirloom mechanical chiming clock. It looked and sounded beautiful . . . when it worked. It was constantly being painstakingly transported to the repair shop. There were always repairs or maintenance required in order for the clock to run, chime, and keep time. Someone finally asked, “Do you own the clock or does the clock own you?” That’s not only a good question for high-maintenance items, but for all of our possessions and assets. Do they control our time, choices, and activities? Are we larger and greater than our possessions? If they are not in charge, then who or what is directing our lives?
