FELLOWSHIP: IT SHOULD STIR YOU...

 

24And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds. 25Let us not give up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but let us encourage one another—and all the more as you see the Day approaching.

Hebrews 10:24-26

We've had apologetics today, and I am constantly trying to review and see how things can be improved...I am blessed by those around me with suggestions and working alongside with me and those who are desiring to learn...

Pray that God will give us wisdom, humility, ability to teach with application and illustration and simply...

WE WILL HAVE IT AGAIN NEXT SATURDAY...

BUT what encouraged me the most today and this past week is the fellowship around me...from UCLA (went to a graduation on Friday for a couple who's a big support in our campus ministry!) to Church and those from community college and other contacts, it was wonderful...

I appreciated hanging out with my dear girlfriend tonight and going through Revelation verse by verse again (Summer Bible studies!)

I also appreciated a sister in our church who took the effort to buy all these food for today's apologetics! I am so glad for Nathan and Sean, both Christians with growing ability for apologetics and helping in explaining things and talking things over with...

IF ONE HAS A VERTICAL RELATIONSHIP (WITH GOD), THIS OUGHT TO IMPACT OUR RELATIONSHIP WITH OTHERS (HORIZONTALLY)

So as we go to church tommorow and next sunday or midweek fellowship,

Let us meditate on the verse above from Hebrews: Let us meet and see how we can spur one another on in Christ.

I was originally going to preach at another church originally for Sunday, but its not going to happen, because of some administrive problem, but I'm looking foward to being with my church tommorow...

FELLOWSHIP...

IF YOU ARE IN CHRIST, THAT SHOULD EXCITE YOU...

It is so good that God can weave so many strings of events and people to form the fabric of our lives and how well can make it functional and full of beauty for His kingdom purpose .

My Mom is trying to continue but in a weakened state . I feel the drugs and her blood being thin and being out in the heat of the day brought on some type of mini stroke . Whatever it was the Lord was healing even as it was going on and she never blacked out and recovered fast but still suffers some effects . The doctors are going against each other now and we are trusting our Lord and not them .

I'm praying for your family this Father's day and I hope He blesses you with knowing your Mom and Dad do not leave this world with out knowing Jesus as their Lord !

You will remain in my prayers Jimmy no matter if you can post or not . If you need special prayer let your sister know and she can post it and I will follow it my brother . Leaving for Sunday school , Have a great day of worship Jimmy !

God bless !

Thanks for your comments, especially the autographs/conversation one....I can remember talking to a KC Chief football player for about 20 minutes as we watched our kids play at a Toys R Us store, it was so neat...I read recently that Kevin Costner mentioned that 9 out of 10 people he meets chooses an autograph over conversation when he gives them that option....I would be that 1 out of 10 if we ever meet!

Blessings,

Mike

so true... as it is with ministry as well... any ministry we do, is an outflow of the relationship we have vertically.... good stuff

Hi, Jimmy....RYC: I get a small gift for each father at church, but everybody gets basically the same thing. We're a small church, so I usually buy only 20 gifts. We started several years ago getting one tool for each father, such as a screw driver, a pair of pliers, small tape measure, keychain flashlight, etc. I set a limit of $5 each, so it must be something small. Then we have every father stand in the service, to be honored, and the ushers pass out the gifts. We do it for Mom's day, too...with something appropriate for moms. But this mom likes tools!
