Pastor’s Corner
hey all…we are talking about church family & church community this morning!!! LIFE GROUPS, BIBLE STUDIES (and WOW…this place was packed for the start of our adult Bible studies this past Monday………SO MANY…so encouraging), serving together in ministries, going on mission trips together, getting coffee together, hanging out & having fun together.
You will hear that church community takes initiative & intentionality later in the message and those words are very true. It’s EASY to get busy on so many ‘other’ things that church community gets put on the shelf or doesn’t ever seem to happen, YET….Biblically, that’s what it is about!!! The Israelites were together in community in the Old Testament and the church community in the New Testament as exemplary. You do NOT see the ‘lone ranger’ Christian, riding solo through the journey of faith in the Word of God. We belong together and spiritually we are all a part of ONE body……we need each other.
How are you doing on this? The author of the NT Book of Hebrews encourages us to NOT forsake gathering together….why? bc/ church community is important and we need each other.
Oso Creek is a place where we are investing in people, creating community, and making disciples. It’s a place to believe, belong, & become while we grow in Jesus, grow in community, & stay on mission for Him!!!!
Adult Bible studies continue tomorrow night with Meghan teaching through Jeremiah & various Creeker men teaching through Judges.
UPCOMING BIG EVENT!!! AUGUST 21st we will be doing our annual beach baptisms again. THIS IS A HUGE NIGHT and we want the entire church family to come out & celebrate new life in Christ. Bring chairs, bring food, bring music, bring yourself. Please let me know if you, a family member, or even someone you know that would like to join in the baptisms & we will get you scheduled in.
Let’s enjoy the freedom that Christ brings…..He is the Lord & Savior
God bless you all…….He is here this morning…let’s worship Him! FILL US LORD WITH YOUR HOLY SPIRIT
