Tonight
is our annual Family Fun Night at Halloween where we partner with the TV
station near the church and others.
There will be free hotdogs, popcorn, inflatables, trunk or treat and
more. Volunteers need to arrive at 5pm, and
please bring more bags of candy with you.
Thanks to our own Matthew Perdue for helping make this event a huge
success.
The
Community Fellowship was formed to meet people where they are and demonstrate the love of God to our community
while we get their attention. This
event, and all the events we do, is one more way to share Christ. Come out.
Pass the word. Let’s make a
difference!
"God is
not just the starting point of your life; he is the source of it." - Rick Warren
Are you at the end of the rope? Do you have nowhere else to turn?
Many people find that those two places are the very ones where
they find God. That’s where we find God
in incredible ways. Yet along the journey
we are on through the good and bad times, He has been there. Too many people, including Christians, have
God as their last resort when He ought to be the very first place we go.
Relationships are important, and this is seen by the time, commitment
and investment we make in the people we encounter. If you care about a person, you spend time
with them. If you love them, you invest
in their lives and in what they see is important. From time to time it may be critical to
re-evaluate your relationships. What is
important? What will last? What needs to be set aside?
It is Halloween! There
are a few people thinking the God kind of thoughts, yet there are many who
would rather wrap themselves in the fun of the day. I am not knocking the day
and all that happens on it, but God wants to be wrapping Himself around us and living through us. What can we do to let that happen?
The only way to change our thinking is to let
God fill our thinking…
Romans
11:36 NLT
“For everything comes from him; everything exists by his power and is
intended for his glory. To him be glory evermore. Amen.”
Everything finds
it beginning and its continuing in God.
He is our power, and He is the one who loves us so much.
“But we know that there is only one God, the Father, who created
everything, and we exist for him. And there is only one Lord, Jesus Christ,
through whom God made everything and through whom we have been given life.”
Nothing can change
that fact. We can know this fact and
others will know this fact as we allow it to flow through our lives.
Ephesians
5:1-2 NLT
“Follow God's example in everything you do, because you are his dear
children. Live a life filled with love for others, following the example of
Christ, who loved you and gave himself as a sacrifice to take away your sins.
And God was pleased, because that sacrifice was like sweet perfume to him.”
Life is all about God. I
have said that before, and I believe it. You have agreed to that fact or at least
questioned it. That is not a problem. It
might even be an open door to share with others, yet do our actions and our
beliefs match? Lets turn to God before we get the end of the rope and let our
lives be all about God. Lets help others
find God and allow Him to transform their lives as he has our lives!
