“Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness” Proverbs 3:5-6
We live in a fallen world. The tragic news from Orlando (the most deadly mass shooting in US history) this week only goes to underscore that reality. Throughout the week, amidst the reactions of pundits and politicians many have struggles to come to terms with life in this broken world. Our questions today are how do we respond to tragedies like this and how can we find the peace Christ offers in the midst of the chaos around us?

“To Ascribe Value”
Matthew 22:36-38
Life is precious. We say that with our words but often our actions betray our beliefs. How can we attest to and enhance the worth of those around us? How can we ascribe to God his worth? One of the most basic ways of ascribing value is to listen/ pay attention to one another. Our world is so cha- otic, our minds are often so full, the emotional environment we live in is often so loud that it can be difficult at times to really listen. Jesus was fond of saying “whoever has ears, let them hear” (Matt. 11:15, 13:9 & 13:43). This is a very profound invitation.

“Precious!” Genesis 1:26-31
What is the value of a human life? What is the grid by which that is determined? Is it based on an individual’s ability, productivity, fame or fortune? Is it rooted in something deeper? A proper vision of ourselves is critical to a proper vision of God, others and the creation we live in. How precious are we and for what purpose?

In John 11, Jesus comforts/ confronts two sisters wracked by the disappointment of the death of a loved one. What do we do with the disappointments in life?
