With the national election day just ahead, many in America are having feelings of relief to know that we’ll soon be delivered from all the political advertisements that we have endured over the past many months. Now, on this final Sunday before election day, the title of the sermon from Ocean Lakes is “The Person I Want As President.” What? Are we going to have to suffer through another political appeal for your vote? - - especially from the pulpit!! Well, if you’ll stay with us for the next few minutes, you may be pleasantly surprised.

What is the most important thing in your life? Your family? Your work? Your friends? Your house? Your money? We would all probably agree that all these things have their own place of importance. This morning we are thinking together about those things in life which we ought to consider our life’s higher values. Maybe this is a good time for us all to set some priorities - not on things, but on qualities that make our life meaningful.

Would you consider yourself a righteous person? What makes a person righteous? Regular church attendance? Paying your bills? Being good to others? Honesty? There were some people living during Jesus' days on earth who had a very high opinion of themselves - - very righteous, they would say. But Jesus had a different opinion. Today may well be the perfect time to look at our own lives and see where we stand in God's view of righteousness. Thank you for worshipping with us today from Ocean Lakes Family Campground.
