Galatians 3:26 26 So in Christ Jesus you are all children of God through faith, Galatians 4:6-7 6 Because you are his sons, God sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, the Spirit who calls out, “Abba, Father.” 7 So you are no longer a slave, but God’s child; and since you are his child, God has…
Luke 12:48 48 But the one who does not know and does things deserving punishment will be beaten with few blows. From everyone who has been given much, much will be demanded; and from the one who has been entrusted with much, much more will be asked. Dear Friends in Christ, Last Sunday in the introduction…
1 Corinthians 10:13 13 No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to mankind. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear.

I wonder how many risk takers we have in church this morning, how many people that are not afraid to take a gamble or two in life. If that describes you, maybe you can relate to a fellow in France who thought he’d made a real shrewd business deal 49 years ago. He agreed to pay a 90-year-old woman $500 a month until she died as a way of purchasing her apartment. Apparently this is a common practice in France. The elderly owner enjoys a monthly income from the buyer, but once the owner dies the apartment immediately becomes the buyer’s, which could prove to be a real bargain for the buyer – provided – and this is a big provision – provided the owner dies sooner rather than later.
To the people of Tibet she is known as Jumalunga which means “goddess mother of the sky.” The citizens of Nepal to the south call her Sagamartha which also means “goddess of the sky.” But it was Sir Andrew Wall, the British Surveyor General of India, who in 1852 gave her the name that stuck. Does anybody know what that name is or what I’m even talking about? I’m talking about Everest. Mt. Everest.
