CHILD DEDICATIONS
Sun, Jun 18, during services
I’m off to the Men’s Retreat! But, I’ll be back to teach on Sunday (8:30, 10, 11:30a, 6p) and I’m excited about this particular Sunday. Don’t miss it!
Food for thought:
Scripture says that “God is love.” Jesus said that He is the physical embodiment of God. Meaning, Jesus embodied love. But to further explore the definition of love, here’s what love looks like:
• joy
• peace
• patience
• kindness
• goodness
• faithfulness
• gentleness
• self-control
When you see these characteristics in your own life or in others, you’re seeing LOVE working its way out in living color. But, more on that later!
See you soon!

Detox.
What comes to mind…Clarity? Freedom?
Has your computer or phone ever gotten to the point where it’s so overloaded that it barely functions? Our lives can get like that without us noticing. Sometimes, we need to restart our operating system so we can do the things we were designed to do.
For a few weeks now, we’ve been evaluating our understanding of what it looks like to be a Jesus follower and deciding if we need to detox anything that may have gotten in the way.
Jesus tells us in John 13:35, “Your love for one another will prove to the world that you are my disciples.” Loving one another is the main thing. It’s not an afterthought… it’s what we lead with!
Last week, we talked about how loving others comes from receiving God’s love first. If you missed it, listen here. And don’t miss this Sunday’s message as we address the main thing that gets in the way of us being able to actually DO THIS.
As a reminder:
See what great love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are! 1 John 3:1
See you Sunday!

Someone once told me that, more than hills and valleys—highs and lows—life is like train tracks. There are always good things, if you look for them, and always hard things, that seem to find you. This week confirms that view in my experience. So many blessings… so many gifts to be excited about… and some real loss, pain, and tragedy in the lives of people I care about.
If you’re having a week where the more painful track is your experience, I’m sorry. I hope this verse encourages you:
The Lord is close to the brokenhearted; he rescues those whose spirits are crushed. Psalm 34:18
Our Church Detox series continues this weekend. I hope you join us. Consider forwarding this link to someone you know who might be surprised by a fresh view of God and Church.
May God bless you and may you sense His nearness…
