Leaving Behind a Church but Looking Forward to Its Future
Text: Acts 20:17-32
In Acts 20, the Apostle Paul gives a stirring message to the Ephesian church leaders about their church even though he will not longer be there for them. Many of the same words apply to our church today as it transitions from the Interim Pastor stage to the new pastoral leadership of Mark Kernan. In verses 17-32, we find three lessons on leaving behind a church with a bright future.
The Power of Praise for Persevering Faith
Text: Psalm 103
MARKS of a Spiritual Man
Text: 1 John 4:1-3, 6
Home is Where the Heart Is
Text: Psalm 84:1-12
What goes on in your mind when you think about or prepare for meeting with the Lord and his people to experience together worship and fellowship? Your answer to that question reflects on where your heart really is. Psalm 84 describes a heart set on worshipping God with his followers.
“Living Happily Ever After”
Text: Psalm 1
Psalm 1 is a picture of 2 people – 2 ways to live – 2 choices – and 2 ultimate outcomes. It is also a summary of the book of Psalms and even of the entire Bible. But most importantly, it is a good look in the mirror at yourself. As you read and study this short Psalm, see if you can see yourself in it.
