Seismic
We heard the last sermon this weekend for Seismic Sermon Series. It was a wonderful series about Saul/Paul's life and his love for Jesus. We met at Alison's house last night. Thank you Alison for opening up your house to us. Mike prepared the study last night based off last weeks sermon preached by Greg Holmes. We had a great discussion about building bridges to those who are not like us or in our circles. That we need to See, Feel & Act, and while acting we need to be Respectful, Compassionate & have Courage. We missed Kirstin, Kristen, Juan & Wendy!!
Next week will begin the White Elephant Series. The church is asking for everyone to bring a wrapped "white elephant" gift to church. You will drop off your gift when you get to church and will pick up a gift on your way out.
Matthew 5: 13-16
verse 16 In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.
Matthew 28: 19-20
Therefore, go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you . And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.
Colossians 4:5-6
Be wise in the way you act toward outsiders; make the most of every opportunity. Let your conversation be always full of grace, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how to answer everyone.
