Thanks to all who attended yesterday's Theological Seminar on "The Doctrine of the Church". If you missed it, you should go watch it from our archives on the church website. What really stood out to me was when Walter Strickland made the point in 1 Corinthians 3:16: "Do you not know that you (plural) are God's temple and that God’s Spirit dwells in you?" We together (the church) are the temple of the Lord where the Spirit dwells. So when we neglect to gather with the saints, we remove ourselves from the move of the Spirit! We must prioritize not only attendance but membership in the local church.
Our next church-wide Elder-led Prayer is Wednesday from 6:00pm to 7:00pm. Everyone is invited to join us as we focus on specific prayer needs. If you are not able to attend but have prayer requests, you can submit them online.
We still have some booklets, Depression: The Way Up When You Are Down by Ed Welch available. Please see me if you'd like a copy. Also, if you want the free eBook, "When the Darkness Will Not Lift" by John Piper, send me a message with your email address.
Next Sunday after church (around 1pm), AKA and the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI), we'll be presenting Sharing Hope: Understanding Mental Health. The presentation will provide resources and testimonies from a person living with a mental health condition and a family member of a person with a mental health condition. It will last about an hour with additional time for Q&A.
My Hope Sunday is 10/9. All members are asked to commit to inviting at least one unbeliever/unchurched person to attend church with you. Invitation cards are available at the Welcome Center. People brought their commitment cards (or paper) with the names of those they are inviting to the altar and we prayed for those individuals. If you didn't
Sis. Lois Arrington who will be 91 next month shared her testimony how
God has been good to her throughout her long life. She also shared some
wisdom on taking care of your health and diet.
This afternoon, I preached at Christ First Christian Fellowship Center at 4pm for their Ushers/Greeters Anniversary. I preached on Luke 19:11-27, "Engage in Kingdom Business Until Jesus Comes". It was great time of fellowship as always with Pastor Snead and our brothers and sisters at CFCFC.
