This message by Pastor Lonnie invites us to see our lives as more than a series of tasks or routines—we are chosen, sent, and deeply loved by God for a greater purpose. We are called to live with intention, courage, and compassion through everyday moments and ordinary places. Drawing inspiration from saints past and present, we’re challenged to live our lives with meaning and mission. It’s a call to reflect, respond, and remember that where we are is where God can work through us. In a world that often forgets what matters, we are reminded your life is not random—it’s on purpose.

Speaker 1 (00:01):
Well, we opened worship this morning with singing for all
the Saints.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
Let me ask you this, when you hear the word saint,
what comes to your mind?
Speaker 1 (00:21):
Do you picture some ancient figure in stained glass with
hands folded that looks like they never spelt coffee on
their hands before.
Speaker 2 (00:33):
Are Maybe you might.
Speaker 1 (00:37):
Think of someone that might be a little more ordinary
than a stained glass image, someone like.
Speaker 2 (00:51):
You.
Speaker 1 (00:53):
You or a friend who checks in on you to
see how things are going through a difficult time. There
is what I like to call and we want to
engage in this morning. It's what I call the saintliness
of the ordinary.
Speaker 2 (01:11):
The early Church.
Speaker 1 (01:12):
They called themselves the saints. It was a reference to
those who were Christ followers, not that they were sinless,
but they had made a strategic decision, a strategic life decision.
Speaker 2 (01:27):
Saints, they are not super heroes in our super hero world.
They're just people who are imperfect and faithful. Okay, imperfect.
Speaker 1 (01:50):
And faithful, trying, praying, and living with purpose In many ways,
that's the fruit that we look at and embrace and
hold on a Memorial Day weekend, remembering.
Speaker 2 (02:15):
Those who inspired us, remembering.
Speaker 1 (02:21):
Those who sacrificed for us, those who made decisions to
live life like it really matters how we choose to
live it, essentially to be called.
Speaker 2 (02:39):
To something bigger, something bigger.
Speaker 1 (02:46):
Earlier, we saw in the Remembering Memorial video honoring those
fifty five members of our church family who who've passed
on since we began twenty four years ago. Now many
(03:09):
of them, there's enough of us around we could tell
the story. Many of those folks lived for something bigger.
Their legacy matters, and in a very real sense, we
are the beneficiaries.
Speaker 2 (03:30):
Of their life. We have benefited from those sacrifices.
Speaker 1 (03:37):
And then tomorrow is Memorial Day, and across this country
people will gather in parks, in cemeteries. There'll be flags
and speeches in the tier or two and of course taps,
(03:59):
and it's America his way of saying, we remember you,
and we are thankful, and honestly, we need reminders. We
need reminders because, let's face it, we forget stuff all
(04:20):
the time. What was the dominant prophetic theme of the
Old Testament? What would the prophet say? They would say,
remember what God has done, Remember God's faithfulness. When you
start to doubt and fear, we need to remember.
Speaker 2 (04:44):
We build memorials we set aside days.
Speaker 1 (04:49):
Not because we love just routines, but because we need
help remembering what matters, because you could say memory itself
is a gift and it's how we stay anchored.
Speaker 2 (05:08):
So I would like to get a.
Speaker 1 (05:10):
Little personal right now, I'm going to increasingly get a
little personal, maybe a little uncomfortable, that hopefully might bring
us to a place of renewed grace. How is your
Memorial Day looking?
Speaker 2 (05:29):
Now?
Speaker 1 (05:29):
I'm not talking about barbecue plans. I'm really looking at
legacy questions, the legacy issue. If your life was a movie,
how would the trailer look?
Speaker 2 (05:49):
What would it say?
Speaker 1 (05:52):
What are you in the process of being known for
in the decisions that we make in our lives.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
Now here's a bigger question, what are you living for?
Let's push the accelerator a little more now.
Speaker 1 (06:12):
The scriptures the Bible, it declares that we are called.
Speaker 2 (06:18):
We are called to something bigger than just getting through
the week.
Speaker 1 (06:29):
I'd like to sell you something and kind of picture this.
This here is it's from our memorial garden, a colabarium,
and it's the birth date.
Speaker 2 (06:44):
And the death date of my brother.
Speaker 1 (06:49):
I got a young, remarkable, remarkable architect. He did more
to serve God than I could ever imagine any pastor
could do that.
Speaker 2 (06:58):
He did through the arts and archett texture, and he's
buried here. Now I'd like to show you something between
those two dates.
Speaker 1 (07:08):
There is that dash, right, that dash, and the dash
really is representative.
Speaker 2 (07:18):
Of what you do between those two dates.
Speaker 1 (07:24):
The dash, it's the whole life. You could fill in
the blank of what would be taking place in that dash.
Speaker 2 (07:34):
It's meaningful to you. Your Monday mornings.
Speaker 1 (07:36):
Your first kiss, the time you held your baby for
the first time, or one hundred quiet moments when you
chose kindness over being right.
Speaker 2 (07:51):
It's your everything.
Speaker 1 (07:57):
And you may be aware of remarkable poem by Linda Ellis.
That poem's called the Dash, and there's a line in
that poem that hits deep. One line it says this,
it matters not how much we own the cars, the house,
the cash. What matters is how we live and love
(08:18):
and how we spend our dash. Beautiful, how we spend
our dash?
Speaker 2 (08:28):
How are you living your dash? And it is my contention.
Speaker 1 (08:36):
That to be a saint in service, because we are
saints in God's.
Speaker 2 (08:42):
Eyes, we're Christ followers.
Speaker 1 (08:43):
There's two really important questions that I think helps us
as we look at that question of what am I
doing with this life?
Speaker 2 (08:52):
And that is first of all, the question is God,
what do you want me to do? And no one
can answer that for you, you but yourself.
Speaker 1 (09:02):
As you're spending time and hanging out with God. Please
do not do not surrender to being retired, to thinking
God doesn't have anything for you to do.
Speaker 2 (09:19):
That is ludicrous.
Speaker 1 (09:23):
God has more for you in retirement than you could
ever imagine.
Speaker 2 (09:30):
So God, well you have me do? What can I do?
What is it?
Speaker 1 (09:38):
And when you answer that question, the answer is probably
not that God wants you to become an Instagram or
Facebook influencer.
Speaker 2 (09:49):
Come on, Usually God wants you to be present love, better.
Speaker 1 (10:04):
Start that thing you know you need to be doing
that you haven't started.
Speaker 2 (10:08):
Get started and get on the project. God maybe saying it's.
Speaker 1 (10:14):
Time now to forgive. It's time now to put that
behind you. Whatever it is, it is personal and it
is powerful. And then the second question when you ask God,
what would you have me do? And you need to
(10:36):
know your pastor I asked that all the time because
I want to do so many things.
Speaker 2 (10:42):
It's which one?
Speaker 1 (10:45):
But the next question is God, how am i doing.
How am I doing?
Speaker 2 (10:57):
Now that's not a question to present a guilt trip.
Speaker 1 (11:01):
Okay, It's really a question of reflection, Lord, how am
I doing? And I recall it like a performance review
with a little bit of grace.
Speaker 2 (11:17):
How am I performing? How was the act? Was it real?
Was it me? And you evaluate that with grace and
you put it together.
Speaker 1 (11:29):
And another way of looking at that to follow Christ
is say, am I living in alignment with who I
was created to be?
Speaker 2 (11:39):
And if you're not, do something about it? Please.
Speaker 1 (11:45):
Now the good news is you don't have to be perfect,
none of us are.
Speaker 2 (11:52):
You just have to be paying attention wherever you are,
your scent.
Speaker 1 (12:02):
You're selected. And the reading this morning from Paul Ruthy
you did a great job reading it, Thank you.
Speaker 2 (12:10):
Puts it this way.
Speaker 1 (12:12):
Paul said, live a life what worthy of the calling?
If we take the individual words seriously. You know, some
people say they believe it literally, but they don't take
it seriously.
Speaker 2 (12:28):
Take it seriously a life worthy of calling the call
you have received.
Speaker 1 (12:38):
Be completely humble and gentle, Be patient, bearing with one
another in love, make every effort to keep the.
Speaker 2 (12:43):
Unity of the spirit. Okay, through the what the bond
of peace.
Speaker 1 (12:50):
It's all right there, very simple, clearly in the word
of God.
Speaker 2 (12:58):
One are the things I like to do for continuing education.
Speaker 1 (13:02):
I love podcasts, especially podcasts by great leaders.
Speaker 2 (13:08):
And this last.
Speaker 1 (13:09):
Week I listened to a podcast an interview of the
former Rich Carlton president Hortz Schultz and talk about service industry.
The Rich Carleton they're kind at the top of the
food trade, and he was talking about how they treat
every team member.
Speaker 2 (13:32):
With dignity and purpose. He will go every year to
every Rich Carlton.
Speaker 1 (13:41):
There will be a gathering of every employee, from the
maids to the dishwashers, and he will begin with the
statement that says we are not serving ladies and gentlemen. Okay,
we're not serving.
Speaker 2 (14:00):
The upper class. He says, we are.
Speaker 1 (14:07):
Ladies and gentlemen, serving ladies and gentlemen. And then he
would go on to say, you need to know, and
this is the dishwasher, all the the the entry level personnel,
you need to know that you were not hired, you
(14:32):
were selected. I don't ever want to hire anyone at
this church. We want to select. God has selected and
brought each of you here to realize that there is
a great intentionality.
Speaker 2 (14:49):
You were selected.
Speaker 1 (14:51):
Now here's something powerful we take that cause that is
in harmony with scripture.
Speaker 2 (14:56):
Wherever you go, God has selected you. Know that God
has selected you there. As Paul said, live a life.
Speaker 1 (15:08):
Worthy of the what the calling, not the circumstances, the calling.
Wherever you are right now, God has placed you there
on purpose.
Speaker 2 (15:21):
You are not stuck. Don't believe you're stuck. You are stationed.
Speaker 1 (15:29):
And when we are stationed, they're the prospects of moving
from that into the arena that God has for us.
Your station and Christ, who lives in you, wants.
Speaker 2 (15:42):
To work through you. So what is the Lord nudging
you to do?
Speaker 1 (15:54):
Okay, maybe it's to speak up, maybe it's to slow down.
But whatever it is that you come to understand in
your walk with God, whatever it is, say yes, say yes.
Speaker 2 (16:16):
For your life matters, your dash matters.
Speaker 1 (16:24):
Because we are called to something bigger. We're not called
to just suck air. Okay, So I know we need
to be practical. So here's some things to ponder as
you you live out this memory of day weekend. It's
(16:49):
also included and the connect to the sermon notes. And
the first thing, and I would call.
Speaker 2 (16:55):
The application is refine what it means to be a saint.
Speaker 1 (17:00):
When I think of myself in the eyes of God,
that God looks at me as a saint, that also
changes my understanding of my self perception.
Speaker 2 (17:10):
Understand that saints are.
Speaker 1 (17:12):
Not superheroes in our superhero world, but ordinary people, ordinary
people living with extraordinary purpose. An extraordinary purpose is what
drives the train.
Speaker 2 (17:29):
You don't need to be perfect, but you need to
be faithful.
Speaker 1 (17:36):
My wife knows I'm not perfect, but I better be faithful. Okay,
perfection and faithfulness. Christ followers are not perfect, but God
expects us to be faithful. And then it's always good
(17:57):
to review to ref's left on the dash?
Speaker 2 (18:01):
Okay, how's my.
Speaker 1 (18:05):
Dash between birth and death?
Speaker 2 (18:08):
Make each moment count.
Speaker 1 (18:10):
Don't waste time doing stuff that's irrelevant. Make each moment
count by choosing love and kindness and courage and generosity
over convenience and routine.
Speaker 2 (18:29):
We like convenience and.
Speaker 1 (18:31):
Routine a whole lot better than being courageous when it's challenging.
And then finally, know that you are chosen. Know that
you're chosen, whatever your role, you are stationed there by God.
(18:54):
You're not just where you are by chance, but You're
there by purpose. Gracious God, we thank you for the
gift of this day and for the reminder that we
are called to something bigger than ourselves. Help us to remember,
(19:18):
especially in the ordinary places.
Speaker 2 (19:21):
Of our lives, that you are at work.
Speaker 1 (19:26):
Let us live not for applause, but for purpose, not
for comfort, but for calling. Make us the kind of
saints who don't just set in stained glass, but saints
who will walk into the breakrooms, the backyards, the busy streets.
Speaker 2 (19:52):
With grace and courage. God, teach us to live our
dash well to as daily what do you want me
to do? How am I doing? May our answers be honest, humble,
(20:12):
and hopeful.
Speaker 1 (20:15):
Empower us to say yes to the quiet callings, the
bold invitations, and the everyday moments that build legacy.
Speaker 2 (20:28):
As we go.
Speaker 1 (20:28):
From this place, plant us in this holy restlessness a
desire to live lives that reflect your love and light.
Let us be people who remember what matters, who honor
those who came before us, and who live in such
(20:50):
a way that others see.
Speaker 2 (20:52):
You in us.
Speaker 1 (20:55):
In the name of Jesus, the one who gave everything
for us and now walks with us.
Speaker 2 (21:05):
Amen. Mm hmm,
Well, we opened worship this morning with singing for all
the Saints.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
Let me ask you this, when you hear the word saint,
what comes to your mind?
Speaker 1 (00:21):
Do you picture some ancient figure in stained glass with
hands folded that looks like they never spelt coffee on
their hands before.
Speaker 2 (00:33):
Are Maybe you might.
Speaker 1 (00:37):
Think of someone that might be a little more ordinary
than a stained glass image, someone like.
Speaker 2 (00:51):
You.
Speaker 1 (00:53):
You or a friend who checks in on you to
see how things are going through a difficult time. There
is what I like to call and we want to
engage in this morning. It's what I call the saintliness
of the ordinary.
Speaker 2 (01:11):
The early Church.
Speaker 1 (01:12):
They called themselves the saints. It was a reference to
those who were Christ followers, not that they were sinless,
but they had made a strategic decision, a strategic life decision.
Speaker 2 (01:27):
Saints, they are not super heroes in our super hero world.
They're just people who are imperfect and faithful. Okay, imperfect.
Speaker 1 (01:50):
And faithful, trying, praying, and living with purpose In many ways,
that's the fruit that we look at and embrace and
hold on a Memorial Day weekend, remembering.
Speaker 2 (02:15):
Those who inspired us, remembering.
Speaker 1 (02:21):
Those who sacrificed for us, those who made decisions to
live life like it really matters how we choose to
live it, essentially to be called.
Speaker 2 (02:39):
To something bigger, something bigger.
Speaker 1 (02:46):
Earlier, we saw in the Remembering Memorial video honoring those

So I would like to get a.
Speaker 1 (05:10):
Little personal right now, I'm going to increasingly get a
little personal, maybe a little uncomfortable, that hopefully might bring
us to a place of renewed grace. How is your
Memorial Day looking?
Speaker 2 (05:29):
Now?
Speaker 1 (05:29):
I'm not talking about barbecue plans. I'm really looking at
legacy questions, the legacy issue. If your life was a movie,
how would the trailer look?
Speaker 2 (05:49):
What would it say?
Speaker 1 (05:52):

Speaker 1 (07:08):
There is that dash, right, that dash, and the dash

Speaker 2 (08:28):
How are you living your dash? And it is my contention.
Speaker 1 (08:36):
That to be a saint in service, because we are
saints in God's.
Speaker 2 (08:42):
Eyes, we're Christ followers.
Speaker 1 (08:43):
There's two really important questions that I think helps us

So God, well you have me do? What can I do?
What is it?
Speaker 1 (09:38):
And when you answer that question, the answer is probably
not that God wants you to become an Instagram or

Speaker 2 (09:49):
Come on, Usually God wants you to be present love, better.

Start that thing you know you need to be doing

For your life matters, your dash matters.
Speaker 1 (16:24):
Because we are called to something bigger. We're not called
to just suck air. Okay, So I know we need
to be practical. So here's some things to ponder as
you you live out this memory of day weekend. It's
(16:49):
also included and the connect to the sermon notes. And
the first thing, and I would call.
Speaker 2 (16:55):
The application is refine what it means to be a saint.
Speaker 1 (17:00):
When I think of myself in the eyes of God,
that God looks at me as a saint, that also
changes my understanding of my self perception.
Speaker 2 (17:10):
Understand that saints are.
Speaker 1 (17:12):
Not superheroes in our superhero world, but ordinary people, ordinary
people living with extraordinary purpose. An extraordinary purpose is what
drives the train.
Speaker 2 (17:29):
You don't need to be perfect, but you need to
be faithful.
Speaker 1 (17:36):
My wife knows I'm not perfect, but I better be faithful. Okay,
perfection and faithfulness. Christ followers are not perfect, but God
expects us to be faithful. And then it's always good
(17:57):
to review to ref's left on the dash?
Speaker 2 (18:01):
Okay, how's my.
Speaker 1 (18:05):
Dash between birth and death?
Speaker 2 (18:08):
Make each moment count.
Speaker 1 (18:10):
Don't waste time doing stuff that's irrelevant. Make each moment
count by choosing love and kindness and courage and generosity
over convenience and routine.
Speaker 2 (18:29):
We like convenience and.
Speaker 1 (18:31):
Routine a whole lot better than being courageous when it's challenging.
And then finally, know that you are chosen. Know that
you're chosen, whatever your role, you are stationed there by God.
(18:54):
You're not just where you are by chance, but You're
there by purpose. Gracious God, we thank you for the
gift of this day and for the reminder that we
are called to something bigger than ourselves. Help us to remember,
(19:18):
especially in the ordinary places.
Speaker 2 (19:21):
Of our lives, that you are at work.
Speaker 1 (19:26):
Let us live not for applause, but for purpose, not
for comfort, but for calling. Make us the kind of
saints who don't just set in stained glass, but saints
who will walk into the breakrooms, the backyards, the busy streets.
Speaker 2 (19:52):
With grace and courage. God, teach us to live our
dash well to as daily what do you want me
to do? How am I doing? May our answers be honest, humble,
(20:12):
and hopeful.
Speaker 1 (20:15):
Empower us to say yes to the quiet callings, the
bold invitations, and the everyday moments that build legacy.

As we go.
Speaker 1 (20:28):
From this place, plant us in this holy restlessness a
desire to live lives that reflect your love and light.

those who came before us, and who live in such
(20:50):
a way that others see.
Speaker 2 (20:52):
You in us.

In the name of Jesus, the one who gave everything
for us and now walks with us.
