Hey Church!
I'm super, super excited about THIS Sunday as we begin a brand new series called "#parenting". We'll be talking about the important job of raising the next generation. I believe God wants to walk alongside parents and gives us some clear direction. It's going to be a great month. This is a great series to invite a friend, so bring someone with you this week!
Also, don't forget, we've got a Night of Worship this Friday at 7 p.m. at Harmony Grove with the band.
Thought for the Week
"In their peril their courage melted away." Psalm 107:26
I've been reading a lot about courage lately. I'm reading a book about courage, and I just finished Judges and I'm headed in the Ruth, both with great examples of courage. I found this passage interesting. In their peril, their courage melted away. Isn't the whole point of courage that it stands strong when we're in peril! I think the problem is that we often have a kind of false bravado. We also misunderstand courage. Sometimes the courageous thing to do is compromise. Sometimes it's to stand strong. Sometimes it's to give in. There is not formula to courage or what it exactly looks like in a given situation. But, true, Godly courage is rooted not in our abilities but in His. Our courage will melt away if it's all about us. If we're depending on ourselves, we won't and can't succeed. We'll face mountains we just can't climb on our own. But, the path to true courage is to know that you serve a God who can climb any mountain. My hope for you would be that you would dig into that kind of courage, no matter what you're facing. Don't let your courage fade because what you face is bigger than you. Be courageous because the one in whom you trust is bigger than what you're facing.
In Christ,
Carter
