A Word from Our Pastor
Good morning, Mateys!!
I hope you’ve had fun with our “Anchors Aweigh/Pirate Theme!”
In the movie series, “Pirates of the Caribbean”, Captain Jack Sparrow had an unusual compass. It didn’t point North. He explains it to Elizabeth. Jack says, “True enough, this compass does not point North.” Elizabeth says, “Where does it point?” Jack replies, “It points to the thing you want the most in this world.” In one movie it points to the Black Pearl. In another movie, it pointed to a bottle of rum Jack wanted, and then it pointed to the Fountain of Youth. If you had Jack Sparrow’s compass in your hand today, what would it point to? Jesus said that treasure has the same effect on your heart. He said, “Where your treasure is there your heart will be also.” Your treasure has a magnetic attraction to your heart.
Happy that you are here today!!
In Christ,
Pastor Danny
