Our 2013 church verse…

Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, fixing our eyes on Jesus… Hebrews 12:1-2a

As we talked about “Generations Reaching Generations” last weekend–the story of the gospel of Jesus being passed down through generations and our responsibility to steward this story well–I was reminded of our church verse. We are part of a story with a legacy of faith that goes all the way back to the beginning of time. We’re surrounded by “a great cloud of witnesses,” including those mentioned in Hebrews 11, and they are giving us courage to live fearless lives following Jesus, becoming all He created us to be. Let’s continue to actively pursue Jesus and take our place in this “great cloud,” bringing the Kingdom of God to the world around us in tangible ways.

Invite a friend and join us this weekend (preferably Sat night at 5p or Sun at 9a:) as we encounter Jesus together, finding the hope and strength we need to navigate our journeys…

peace,

kyle
