MESSAGE FROM JIMMY… Read More
I have three things for you this week…
1. A new sermon series begins on September 8th – The Book of Exodus.
We will launch a new series along with the Seedbed community next month. Beginning Monday, September 2, J.D. Walt, founder of Seedbed and host of the Wake-Up Call, will start a fresh series on the book of Exodus. The Wake-Up Call is a daily meeting with Jesus through a shared engagement with the Word of God and the Spirit of God. The beating heart of the Wake-Up Call is the Scripture itself: the revealed written Word of God.
Many in the congregation start their day with this daily devotional. This is a great opportunity to engage in the same portion of scripture together as a church community. Our weekly messages will focus on a select passage from the book of Exodus.
Here is where you can join the daily Wake-Up Call: www.seedbed.com/wake-up-call-archive/
2. We are one month away from the next BIG EVENT – SERVE SUNDAY. #AnswerTheCall
Sunday, September 22. Save this date – NOW! We will start the day enjoying “Koinonia” (i.e., fellowship breakfast) at 8:00 a.m. in the Family Life Building. Worship will be at 9:00 a.m. followed by “Diakonia” (i.e., serve projects) from 10:00 a.m. to Noon. Let’s show Clinton some love! #AnswerTheCall
3. How is your prayer and fasting going?
I have had some successes and stumbles. I had a tough day earlier this week and broke fast by eating M&Ms to cope. It may sound trivial, but I was reminded once again that I need a better plan to cope with my stress. Next time, I will take a walk and pray, or do something to put me in touch with the peace of Christ – like visit the prayer room. There have been some great conversations coming out of neighborhood gatherings around town. We wrap those up on Monday. I can’t wait to share with you what God is revealing to me through these meetings. Keep praying…Observe your fasts…May Christ’s presence move upon us!
See you Sunday!
Jimmy
