I publish the sermon notes weekly on Bible.com. If you have the app, YouVersion, you can find these on Sunday mornings under Community Life Church … you may have to add “Grand Manan” unless you live on the island. The notes are accessible from 9:00am until 2:00pm and then they are removed. Users have the option to “Save Event”. If you do this, the notes will stay under “Saved Events” on your app in case you want to look back at them in the future. Please feel free to share as you may wish. – Karl

I greatly appreciate the Roundtables.
We met last evening with an open agenda and relaxed conversation. The potluck was a great primer. Don’t ever feel guilty for not coming. Most of us could stand to slow down and thin our schedules a bit. Every once in a while, when the time seems right, join us.
Three great ideas emerged from the evening. I won’t outline those in this post just now. The point is to reaffirm that this meeting is an effort to listen to God through what each of us are experiencing, discerning, etc. One idea in particular was a compilation of thoughts that a couple of us have been mulling over separately.
We talk a lot about following God but it seems that default mode is to lead Him. Our good intentions produce good ideas … we get excited and we are off to the races. Many times we exhaust ourselves and our resources trying to “do something” for God rather than seeking to participate in what He is already doing.
To follow is where the adventure lies and where we are invigorated rather than depleted. We each decide whether Christ is the Head of His Church or the figurehead. If He is the latter then we are the ones who are usurping His place and perpetuating an impotent organization.
I beg you my brothers and sisters. Let’s find the inestimable value of true follower-ship.

The Sermon Synopsis
We tried to publish our Sunday sermons regularly, some time ago now. It as difficult to do because the messages are highly interactive. This is my preference. I believe that people ought to engage with the message in order to receive and contribute to it. So many sermons are one dimensional monologues. My increasing difficulty with this is that I believe this is the same dynamic as watching it on television at home. It is far too easy to tune out or to simply ask away from it and ignore it.
On Tuesdays I will publish the reader’s digest version of the message. Undoubtedly there will be weeks when this does not take place. I hope to make it a consistent practice. Please feel free to share as you wish.
