Come Hell or High Water
A young fellow wanted to be a star journalist but lived in a small town (not much possibility). One day the dam upstream broke and the town was flooded. He got in a rowboat and headed out to look for a story. Finding a lady sitting on her rooftop, he tied up the boat and told her what he was after. (They both watched as various items floated by). She says, "Now there's a story." A house went floating by but as he surveyed the sight he said, "No, that's not a story." Finally he watches a hat float by and then turn 180 degrees, go back upstream a ways, do another 180 degree turn, and go back down stream again. The fellow says, "Now there's a story. I have never seen a hat do that before!" "Oh no, that's not a story”, the lady said. "That's my husband Hayford. He said that he was going to mow the lawn come hell or high water!"
So the question I want to ask you is, "What does it take to keep you from Church on Sunday morning? A flood, a blizzard, a broken down car, a sore back, staying up late the night before, rain, or sunshine?" Some people don’t even look for a reason, they just don’t come. Wouldn't it be interesting if Jesus came to Church on a Sunday morning to take us to Heaven and you were not to be found? Guess what. He is there at Center Community Church every Sunday morning, however He's not looking for you. He knows where you are and why you’re not there.
