Most of you have heard of Rick
Warren or at least one of the books he has written, maybe, 'Purpose Driven
Church' or 'Purpose Driven Life.' A few
years ago our church did a study focused on the purpose driven idea. I was not
here then but I have been through a similar study. Its' design was to help us
answer the question, 'What on earth am I here for?' Rick has since written
other books and developed other studies to help believers on their journey
through this life. The one I am most excited about is called, "Better
Together- 40 days of Community." In fact, Sunday, March 2nd, we will be
starting a 6 week series based off this study. This 40 day journey will help us
answer the question, "What on earth are WE here for?" Each Sunday
morning from March 2nd- April 6th, I will be preaching messages designed to
help us see from God's Word how we are designed to be better together. Then on
Wednesday Nights from March 5th- April 9th we will be doing small group Bible
Studies that feed off the topic preached on the previous Sunday.
Our journey through 40 days of
Community will help us more clearly see how God uses other people, specifically
other believers, for our good and our growth. It will also help us see how God
use us to bless others. First Corinthians 13 will be the lead passage in this
journey. It is commonly called the 'love chapter' and is used frequently in
marriage ceremonies, but I want us to see it in the context of the family of
faith, the church. This will be a great time for all who attend and I pray you will
make every effort to be involved and help us all see that we are Better
Together!
If you would like a copy of the
study guide and/or the devotional book for the small group study let me know or
call the church office by February 24th so we can have them here in time for the
study. Cost will be $7.25 for each one.
God is Good All The Time!
