September 2011 Volume 10

New Series

Are You a Follower of Jesus? I know, I know, you’ve been asked this question before. Because it’s so familiar, there is a tendency to dismiss it. Not because it makes you uncomfortable. Not because it’s especially convicting. The question is dismissed mostly because it doesn’t seem necessary.

Yet, one of the most sobering passages of scripture tells of a day when many will be stunned to find out that He (Jesus) doesn’t even recognize them. In the Gospel of Luke, chapter 7, Jesus tells of a day where everyone who has ever lived will stand before God. On that day, many who call themselves Christians and identify themselves as followers will stand confidently in front of Jesus only to hear Him say, “I never knew you, depart from Me.”

If you just assumed you are a follower of Jesus, I pray that the next sermon series, Not a Fan, will either confirm that or it will convict you to re-evaluate your relationship with Jesus. Not a Fan begins Sunday September 18th, 2011.

Pastor Bob

Life Groups Resume on September 19, 2011.

"Not a fan" study is the focus, as we desire to be not just a fan, but a committed follower of Jesus Christ.

KINGD OM KIDS

Adults  send  messages  to  kids  all  the  Dme,  especially  by  their  behavior.    

SomeDmes  these  messages  demean  their  worth  or  diminish  their  hope.  

But  a  volunteer  who  comes  week  aKer  week  to  faithfully  love  and  look  at,  smile  

and  listen  to  kids,  sends  messages  through  behavior  too.  Those  messages  say:

“You  are  important  to  me  and  to  God.  I  choose  to  spend  Dme  with  you.”

“Your  opinions  and  feelings  matter  to  me  because  who  you  are  matters  to  God.”

“You  are  valuable,  not  someday,  but  now.  You  are  not  a  problem  to  me.”

“You  are  a  God’s  giI.  I  am  glad  you  are  here!”

Where  else  in  the  world  can  a  disheartened  child  find  such  affirmaDon?  What  

bePer  way  could  a  lonely  child  find  the  welcome,  acceptance  and  love  that  is  in  

Christ?  This  is  how  God’s  Kingdom  comes  to  Children’s  ministry  week  aKer  

week,  building  life  upon  life.  To  become  faithful  givers  of  such  cheerful  loving  

and  paDent  teaching,  we  weekly  surrender  ourselves  to  the  love  of  God  in  Jesus  

Christ.    Only  He  empowers  us  to  love  unselfishly,  consistently  and  genuinely.  

This  sends  the  message  that  what  we  do  is  truly  from  His  heart.  Then  our  

behavior  will  say  that  even  without  monetary  compensaDon,  without  much  

applause  or  appreciaDon,  we  choose  to  love  children  purely  because  we  value  

them  for  who  they  are,  because  we  know  Jesus  loves  them  and  because  we  

know  eternity  would  not  be  complete  without  them.

Why we teach kids?
