Rev. Dr. P. Shane Green
Rev. Green continues a new Sermon Series entitled, Understanding Yourself to Love God. During this series, personality types will be explored to shed light on how to get to know yourself. In turn, this helps us to know and understand God’s divine love. In our first lesson, we learned about the Perfectionist. This week, we focus on the personality traits of the Giver or Befriender.

First Steps – March 7, 2022
| Are you a perfectionist? If so, then you are normally loyal, hardworking, love routines and finite outcomes. Often, you are a systematic rule follower, very ethical, and reliable. At the same time, you have a strong moral code that sees the world in black and white, rights and wrongs. However, there is a strong inner voice that speaks in tones of criticism and judgment. When a perfectionist makes a misstep, normally self-hatred isn’t far away. Similarly, when others don’t perform or see the world as you do, anger is a quick emotion. If you are a perfectionist, I hope you will do two things: Embrace Sabbath this week. There will always be something more to do. Equally important, there is a need to stop and just be. Allow God to calm that inner voice so that God’s Spirit can say to you, “You are my beloved.” Say the phrase, “Done is better than Perfect.” Some things won’t be perfect. The good news is they don’t have to be. Done is better than perfect. Here is the gospel lesson, Christ’s Righteousness is Our Righteousness. One will never be perfect enough to merit God’s love. God loves because He is love. My prayer for you is that you will know that you are both a sinner and a saint and God’s grace is sufficient today.  This Week’s Readings: * Monday – Mark 4 * Tuesday – Mark 5 * Wednesday- Mark 6 * Thursday – Mark 7 * Friday- Mark 8 Prayer Requests: *An immediate end to the crisis in Ukraine. *Heal those who are sick and protect those who are not. *Comfort those who are grieving and in distress. *Give our leaders extra wisdom as they navigate this pandemic and economic uncertainty. *Help for those seeking to find their way. *Continued Growth Inside and Outside the Walls of St. Paul UMC. |
