Last Sunday evening I talked about the 3 levels of Spiritual growth within the family of God. It's the way that we tend to think when we are handling the issues of life. We can think like slaves, or like servants, or like sons. The Bible tells us to renew our mind to become mature and one of the test for spiritual maturity is correction. How do you act when you are corrected? Do you act like a victim? Why is everyone picking on me? Do you act like a servant where I accept correction because you pay me and I can't afford to quit. Do you act like a son where correction is received to make a better family. Do you see others as those you love, like, or tolerate. Son, servant, slave. It's possible to be a son in every area of your life or to be a servant or a slave in every area of your life. Jude 1:20-21 "But you, beloved, building yourselves up on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Spirit, keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life." May today you think more like a son, a joint heir with Christ, serving the Lord with joy.
This Sunday is family Sunday so come a few minutes early to enjoy breakfast with your family and friends. Breakfast starts @10:15 followed by the morning service. I'll be sharing on, 'Personal Image.' We all project an image to others whether it's good or bad. Can we change our image? Come and find out. Don't forget to bring some food to help out with the breakfast and a friend or two to hear the gospel. On Family Sunday there is no evening service.
Coming up on Feb 22nd and 23rd we are having as a guest speaker Pastor Ted Yuke. We are planning a Saturday evening 7 pm Leadership meeting. Pastor Ted has worked with church leaders around the world and has given them some keys to leading that would be helpful for us all to hear. This service is for anyone involved in helping out anywhere within the church. Ushers, Sunday School teachers, choir, orchestra, greeters, set up, tear down crew, any leader is welcome or anyone looking to be a leader in the future should try their best to be here. Pastor Ted will also be sharing with us on Sunday morning and there will be no evening service as we want to give everyone the opportunity to attend the Leadership meeting on Saturday evening.
Continue to pray for those in need, looking forward to seeing you on Sunday, lots of love, Pastor Kevin and Alice
