Dear Brothers and Sisters,
Are you “in?” All in? Ready to seek the Kingdom of God and His righteousness with me?
Matthew 6:33 “But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.”
Let me remind you:
Kingdom people SERVE UNSELFISHLY. Matthew 6:1-4
Kingdom people PRAY STRATEGICALLY. Matthew 6:9-15
Kingdom people SEEK GOD SACRIFICIALLY Matthew 6:16-18
Kingdom people INVEST WISELY. Matthew 6:19-24
Kingdom people TRUST GOD IMPLICITLY. Matthew 6:25-33
It all comes down to a matter of trust. Do we trust the King of the Kingdom? From Matthew 5, do we trust Him enough to let Him be in control? Do we trust Him enough to let Him inform our grief and sorrow? Do we trust Him enough to restrain ourselves in times when we would rather have our say or get our way? Do we trust Him to the point that we desire more and more of Him and His righteousness because we know possessing that is the key to possessing it all? Do we trust Him enough to choose to walk in holiness rather than try to satisfy every earthly desire? Do we trust Him enough to reach out with mercy and get involved in difficult and messy situations with people in need? Do we trust Him enough to embrace our calling to be salt and light? Do we trust Him enough to confess our sins to Him exposing every part of who we are to Him and His holiness and love? Do we trust Him enough to love those who persecute us? Do we trust Him enough to serve unselfishly, pray strategically, seek Him sacrificially and invest wisely?
Remember we need your help for Family Fun Day! We need teams to set up, teams to run the inflatables, teams to help clean up. We need cans of pop, back packs, crayons, glue, scissors, and paper. We are giving children’s and teen clothes away. Be on site by 3:00 p.m. Saturday and help us make it a great day for our community!
Join us nightly at Rippling Waters at 7:00 p.m. for Campmeeting! Take 77 north to the Haines Branch Exit and follow the signs! REMEMBER, there are NO regularly scheduled Wednesday activities due to Campmeeting.
Praying this morning that you will have an amazing week as you seek the Lord with me.
Pastor Melissa
