Reflections: June 30-July 1, 2007




This week's "Reflection" by Gary Keith Pastor of Teaching/Worship
This weekend we saw in Judges that God consistently rescues his people even though they consistently break their covenant with him.
What a great and gracious God we serve. As you reflect on the message this week consider your own life of love and obedience to God; and how he has been gracious to you.
If you're in pain, maybe it's time to cry out to God for his help.
If you are experiencing peace, try thanking Him for his goodness in your life and ask Him to guard your heart from complacency.

If you're sinning, seek God honestly for forgiveness with a repentant heart. Remember there are two things you can count on: First that the evil one will try and deceive you. Second that God will always be faithful to forgive you.
The good news is we don't have to live in an endless cycle of falling into sin over and over again. We can live in the freedom of Christ. May God grow and deepen our love for him this week.
On another note: Let me tell you how proud I was of our church this past weekend. Rallying together as a family, our church lovingly embraced the Libutti family. Hundreds of our church members reached out in a variety of tangible ways to support the Libutti family in this great time of need. We estimate the memorial service had an attendance of 1200-1500 people...and the only way we were able to accommodate these was through your helpful efforts. Please continue to pray for the families involved in the accident.
