In the weeks leading up to our Birthday Celebration (October 15) we will explore together what it means to be the church: a healthy, whole body of Christ that is forgiven and forgives, that has been redeemed and redeems, that lives and give life.

“Gods of Pleasure” Leviticus 19:4
Have you ever tried to identify the gods that you put before God? Our culture’s motto says “If it feels good, do it” If you have an appetite, feed it. If you have an itch, scratch it. If you got this pleasure or desire, then go ahead and satisfy it. What are the gods at war within you?

“Fixing our Eyes, Offering our Hands, Changing the World”
Philippians 4:8-9
“Fix your thoughts on what is true, and honorable, and right, and pure, and lovely, and admirable.” (Philippians 4:8) We are so easily distract- ed/overwhelmed by all that is wrong around us, yet Paul invites us to renew our focus and in so doing we will find our part/place in His plans for us.
Today we have the privilege of hearing about one of our mission partners: Empowering Lives Inter- national. ELI is doing great things for God in the midst of difficult circumstances. What a blessing it is to introduce Veronica Busienei and Gladys Cherono who have traveled from Kipkaren, Kenya to tell us about the impact the ELI (and we through this partnership) can have.

Running the “Amazing Race”
Real Reality series, #6 Hebrews 12:1-3
Today we continue the series “Real Reality”. Each week we’ll explore our human condition through the lens of popular reality TV shows and the hope we have through the lens of God’s word. “The Amazing Race” has been a staple of Reality TV fans since 2001. Each season, 11 teams of two compete in a race around the world. Every leg of the journey (race) is filled with challenges and disorienting situations, the teams must work together to over- come the course and win the race. In the Bible, our life journey is often referred to in “race” language: how can we stay on course, compete together and finish well.?

“American Idol” Real Reality series, #5
Exodus 20:4
Today we continue the series “Real Reality”. Each week we’ll explore our human condition through the lens of popular reality TV shows and the hope we have through the lens of God’s word. American Idol is a long running singing competition show. Contestants match their vocal performance skill against one another until only one “American Idol” remains to be celebrated. The Biblical notion of an idol refers to an image or representation used as an object of worship. For the show, the term represents a person or thing greatly admired or revered. Most anything can become an idol, if it takes first place in the hearts of God’s people.
