Important Info:
Reminder: Basics of Biblical Counseling - The Compass Classroom Basics of Biblical Counseling starts in two weeks, on 8/14. This class will highly benefit ministry leaders and Life Group leaders. If you are going to be attending this class, please register here. If you are already registered, encourage others to join you!
Reminder: Register for an Evangelism Saturday - Don't forget to sign up your Life Group for a Saturday to go door-to-door between now and the end of October. Most Saturdays, there is a group that goes out at 10am and a group at 1pm - your group can choose either time. Please register for your weekend here.
Moving Church Locations - We want you to be the first to know that we are in the process of completing an agreement to move our church services to Heritage Middle School. Please pray for wisdom as we finalize the contract with the school district. We can't complete the agreement with Heritage until the school administration returns in early August to sign the paperwork. We are looking to start services there in mid-October/early November. Also, this move will mean we will return to just two Sunday services with no more Saturday night services. We'll keep you posted! This exciting opportunity will allow our church to grow immensely (double the adults and children), and we eagerly anticipate God's work in and through our church.
Application Questions:
Summer in the Psalms
Finding Real Purpose & Confidence
Psalm 138
Read Colossians 1:15-17. What is lost when we lose sight of the amazing realities in these verses? How are lives negatively affected when people forget that we were made through Jesus Christ and for Jesus Christ?
Read Luke 14:25-33 & 18:29-30. What are some of the ways you have had to renounce your own desires and purposes to follow Christ? How have you experienced blessing even in those sacrifices?
Read Philippians 1:21. How would you like to see your life a greater expression of those powerful words: “for to me, to live is Christ”? How can your life be more focused on exalting His name and His word?
Read Psalm 138:8. How can these words be a comfort to you this week? How is their meaning enriched by understanding the whole Psalm?
Read Psalm 138:2. Find a few verses/passages that mention steadfast love or faithfulness (or both!). What are some situations in your life where these verses are particularly encouraging?
