Robert Matheson was in charge of the regular church service Sunday morn- ing. He told the children's story entitled "A Servant." The sermon was entitled "There's Only One Energizer." Those who write slogans for advertisements seldom have unique, new or different ideas on their own. Religious symbols are often borrowed and used in adver- tisements in print, on televi- sion and on radio. As Chris- tians we are reminded all of our energy comes to us through God and through Christ. Isaiah 49:1-7 tells us of the special Servant who is to come into the world to r �rve the world. In 1 Corinthians 1:1-9 Paul reminds the Chris- tians in Corinth we do not operate as Christians in isolation. We are part of a communi- ty - our congregations are a community within a com- munity of communities all the energy these communities share comes from the Servant - Christ. In the baptism story in John's Gospel John 1:29-34 Jesus is not at first recogniz- ed by the Baptist yet John the Baptist knows the one to follow will be the Lamb - the Servant. We are called to be a ser- vant community, receiving all our strength from Jesus Christ - there is only One energizer.
