My focus for today's sermon has to do with perception - how we view life and how that view affects how we live our life. I was inspired by a professor at Luther Seminary, David Lose, who opened my ideas to a new way of looking at the parable of the talents (Matthew 25:14-30). In the parable the third servant does nothing with the talents he is given because of the fear he has of his master.
Fear can paralyze us.
And if we view the world through glasses fogged over with fear, we can see how it will affect the whole of our lives.
And the opposite is true as well. If we look at life through glasses of blessing, then we see so much more joy and hope in the world.
How we view life affects how we live out our lives.
So how about you - do you view life through the glasses of blessing or fear?
