Prayer Corner
Foothills Christian Church, our home church, is ALSO
having a Future Quest June 24 - 26. They are much larger than we are and expect
about 2200 kids. Let's pray that God will do incredible things in the lives of
kids and that Foothills will experience all the material blessings they need to
get Future Quest off the ground and successful. Take a minute and pray right
now... |

This Coming Sunday, June 20, 2010
God expects the seeds He
plants in our lives to grow. You don't hide a lamp and we shouldn't hide what
God is doing in our lives either. We also need to understand that God's word is
expected to grow - but we have to be patient and trust in the Lord who causes
it to grow. Still, God wouldn't take the time to explain these things to us if
there wasn't something we could gain by understanding it. Come on out this
Sunday as we explore Mark 4: 21 - 34 with a message called "LampSeed"...See ya
Sunday.
Coming up....
June 27: Mark 4: 35 - 41
"Who is this?"
July 4: Mark 5: 1 - 20
"Preferring pigs"

A Word of Encouragement
Hebrews 10:25 (NLT)
 And let us not neglect our meeting together, as
some people do, but encourage and warn each other, especially now that the day
of his coming back again is drawing near.
Church,
small group home gatherings, retreats and special events - these are NOT
supposed to be "we're better than you" club events or charity meetings because
if this is so, we may as well join the Elk's club. Instead, God wants us to
cheer each other on, offer friendship and caring while we teach and learn
together about what it takes to follow Jesus. We should do this, keeping the
inevitable end forever in our minds: Everyone will face God and must answer for
their life. God is not pleased with a life dedicated to self-interest but is
pleased with a life dedicated to His interests. It's too easy to get
wrapped up in our own self-centeredness so that we miss God's interests.
Gathering together keeps us sharp. In our culture, Sunday morning is for
sleeping in and evenings are for recreation so it is tempting to give up
gathering with other Christians. The truth is there is no easy solution to
knowing God and growing in Him - it takes continual decisions to live
obediently. God has provided relationships with other Christians
as a key support for these decisions. Let's not neglect to gather together each
and every week possible.
