Christy Ramsey DOWNLOAD A LIVE RECORDING Audio from worship at the 11 AM Worship Service September 18, 2022via Zoom at Valley Presbyterian Church, Bishop,CAedited from a flawless transcription made by edigitaltranscriptions all errors are mine.  Luke 21:5-19   Sermons also available free on iTunes   Take a look at that cover of the bulletin. And I can see you on Zoom, whether you do it or not. There’s a beautiful temple with some beautiful stones. The key thing is, that does not exist. That was not even in the mind of a human. That was made by a computer. I told a computer to paint me a beautiful temple. And that’s what it did. So this is an imaginary temple that’s beautiful that’s on the front of our cover, that never existed. What is our beautiful temple?

Hopefully it’s not as long. But if you think that truth is a good thing for Christians to consider when we follow the guy, the savior, the son of God that calls himself, what?, the way, the truth, and the life, well, then this is a faithful sermon.

I hope it’s not a political sermon, and that greed is not your politics. Because you may think from the beginning that the sermon is about or the scripture’s about Jesus said I’m not going to be a divider or an arbitrator. I’m not going to be your financial counselor or your family intervention specialist. I’m not, just like with Martha and Mary the last time I preached about telling the other sibling to do what I want, well, I’m not going to tell you and your brother how to get along with money. But later on Jesus says to everybody, he really knew what that was about. It w
