The Next Few Sundays
1 Comments..
A word about what’s coming up the next few Sundays:
This Sunday Mark Mitchell continues our “Love Your Neighbor” series, teaching from Luke 14:12-14 about the kind of hospitality that God honors. Mike Bradshaw will lead our singing. We’ll also start memorizing a new hymn and send off the Pastors College Class of 2009.
We’ll take a break from the “Love Your Neighbor” series on June 14, Youth Sunday. That day the 10:31 youth ministry will “take over” both meetings, and Dave Brewer will give the message.
Isaac Hydoski’s text on June 21 will be Matthew 9:9-13. He plans to emphasize that our devotion to God must be demonstrated by mercy towards sinners. Why? Because it’s in keeping with the very definition of the gospel message: a message for sinners!
Finally, on June 28 Joshua Harris will teach from the Parable of the Prodigal Son, looking at what it means to love people who are struggling spiritually.
Much to look forward to and anticipate with faith! See you on Sunday.

On Vacation

I’m headed off for vacation with Shannon and the kids. Posting will be a little lighter, but I’ve asked Grant Layman to cover for me and post a few things while I’m gone. I’ll be praying for you, and will miss worshiping with you.

Love Your Neighbor, Part 1: Application
2 Comments..
Yesterday I preached from the Parable of the Good Samaritan in Luke 10: 25-37. You can listen online or download the mp3 here.
Use these questions to help you apply the sermon:
1. Who are the Samaritans in your life? Who are the ones you wish you didn’t have to relate to and would like to “un-neighbor”? Ask the Lord to give you a heart of love for them.
2. In what ways have you self-righteously looked down on those who have a different faith, a different ethnicity, a different sexual preference, etc? While still embracing truth, how can you put on mercy, compassion and love toward those who are “different”?3. In what practical ways can you serve your neighbor? How can you serve with friends, as a family or as a care group?
4. Are you aware of anyone with financial needs? How can you be generous with your money and give to those experiencing financial trials?
5. What can you do to build and cultivate a relational bridge to your “neighbor”?
