Let's Get Where the Action is

Good morning,

It is a glorious morning here in Nelson County.  I am so thankful that we serve a creative God.

As we prepare for our time together this week, remember that we will be focusing on two things understanding who we are called to reach and how we can live our lives with them.  It is not their responsibility to come to us, but our responsibility to go to them.  So take sometime to think about your friends and neighbors... who are they?  what do they like to do?  where do they like to go?  where do they work?  what are their families like?  what is important to them?

Hebrews 13:13-16 From the Message
So let’s go outside, where Jesus is, where the action is—not trying to be privileged insiders, but taking our share in the abuse of Jesus. This “insider world” is not our home. We have our eyes peeled for the City about to come. Let’s take our place outside with Jesus, no longer pouring out the sacrificial blood of animals but pouring out sacrificial praises from our lips to God in Jesus’ name. Make sure you don’t take things for granted and go slack in working for the common good; share what you have with others. God takes particular pleasure in acts of worship—a different kind of “sacrifice”—that take place in kitchen and workplace and on the streets.  

Also, you can keep up with the Riverbank events calendar online.

Be Blessed, 

Brian
