TIM

Good morning, I’m Tim Wise, Sanctuary Choir Director at Central.

I want to challenge you with the idea of serving. All throughout the Bible, there are stories of service to God and service to evil.

Joshua Chapter 24 verse 15 says, “Choose this day whom you will serve…But as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.”

You may be familiar with the song Gotta Serve Somebody by Bob Dylan. A snippet from that song says:
You may be a preacher with your spiritual pride. You may be a city councilman taking bribes on the side. You may be working in a barbershop, you may know how to cut hair. You may be somebody's mistress, may be somebody's heir. But you're gonna have to serve somebody - it may be the devil or it may be the Lord, but you're gonna have to serve SOMEBODY.

So…go with this thought: We’ve gotta serve somebody, but who and how is up to us. God calls to us: Choose this day whom you will serve.
