Message of the Day – A Cross

September 27, 2009 By: Cal Skinner Category: 2 Corinthians 4:8, Cross, First United Methodist Church of Crystal Lake, Message of the Day, Stuck On

This is a “Stuck On” cross.

It appeared last Sunday in the narthex of the First Methodist Church of Crystal Lake to complement a sermon series on how to get past being “stuck on” something.

Parishioners were encouraged to write what was deterring them from following in Jesus’ footsteps and stick it on the cross outside the sanctuary after the service.

There were Bible verses on pink Post-It Notes which you were supposed to take when you put up your yellow Post-It.

My pink verse said,

2 Corinthians 4:8
We are hard pressed on every side,
yet not crushed; we are perplexed,
but not in despair.
