stay faithful


John 8:31 NLT
Jesus said to the people who believed in him, “You are truly my disciples if you remain faithful to my teachings.

It is summer. Many people are traveling and enjoying this time of the year.  Remember to stay faithful.  God hasn’t stepped away.  He has stayed close to us all the time.  Make a commitment to do the same.

Stay close to God. Stay faithful.

Proverbs 11:24-25 MSG
 “The world of the generous gets larger and larger; the world of the stingy gets smaller and smaller. The one who blesses others is abundantly blessed; those who help others are helped.”

Let your world grow. Help your family grow.  Choose for your faith to fly high and stay extra strong.

How is God calling you to be generous?  With our lives, be generous.  With our work, we choose to be generous.  With our finances, our money and all our resources, we will be generous.  All that is true because God has been generous to us.

If you are part of The Community Fellowship, I ask that you stay faithful this summer in your attendance, in your serving and in your giving.  Remember that you can give online.  Go to thecommunityfellowship.org and click GIVE ONLINE.  Choose where your donation will go.  Give to the “general fund” and help with the day to day ministry, benevolent and operation of the church.  Choose the “vision fund” to help with the completion of our new campus.  Click “back 2 school” to be part of the 2018 outreach to students.  Choose “the community dream center” to help with our transitional house, homeless or feeding ministry.  

It takes all of us to do what God has called us to do.  Take your next step full of generosity as you remain faithful!

1 Timothy 6:18  NLT
Tell them to use their money to do good. They should be rich in good works and generous to those in need, always being ready to share with others.

Have you heard of EDITH BURNS?

Edith Burns was a wonderful Christian who lived in San Antonio, Texas . She was the patient of a doctor by the name of Will Phillips. Dr. Phillips was a gentle doctor who saw patients as people. His favorite patient was Edith Burns.  One morning he went to his office with a heavy heart and it was because of Edith Burns.  When he walked into that waiting room, there sat Edith with her big black Bible in her lap earnestly talking to a young mother sitting beside her.  Edith Burns had a habit of introducing herself in this way: "Hello, my name is Edith Burns.  Do you believe in Easter?" Then she would explain the meaning of Easter, and many times people would be saved.  Dr. Phillips walked into that office and there he saw the head nurse, Beverly. Beverly had first met Edith when she was taking her blood pressure. Edith began by saying,"My name is Edith Burns. Do you believe in Easter?"  Beverly said, "Why yes I do."  Edith said, "Well, what do you ...

wash feet, sharing hope

  John 13:4-5,14 NLT  So he got up from the table, took off his robe, wrapped a towel around his waist, 5 and poured water into a basin. Then he began to wash the disciples’ feet, drying them with the towel he had around him… 14 And since I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you ought to wash each other’s feet. Jesus set the example we follow.  He served.  He valued and gave value to others.  That is why we choose to serve. For 18 years our church has shared an outreach called back2school, and for 16 of those years we have chosen to give students brand new shoes and socks as well as washing their feet.  It is one of the most important parts of this event. Washing feet is a humbling experience where both the give and the receiver learn how to share some moments that might change their lives.  Jesus said we should do this.  See the verse above.  Follow His example, do what He did, and give far more than you will ever know....
