Wonderful things are happening at South Riding Church! Have you told your friends and neighbors about our "Blessing of the Backpack" event on Sunday, August 22nd? Our worship will be "child friendly," and will flow out into the side parking lot for food, fun, and fellowship. This is a "combo-event," designed as an outreach and as fun for our current church family. Please pick up fliers to hand out and to hang up! You are wonderful folks and we have a wonderful church – it's time to share that good news and invite others into the family!
Our readings for Sunday include Genesis 15:1-6, Psalm 33:12-22, Hebrews 11:1-3, 8-16, and Luke 12:32-40. The theme in the readings is having faith. What is the source of our faith? When faith seems scarce, often it is not more faith that we need, but more of Jesus. In every situation we encounter He must increase, and we must decreases (to quote John the Baptist.) When we have more of Jesus – more understanding, more of his Spirit, more of his attributes, our faith will spontaneously increase. Our thunderous thought for the day is just that, "He must increase, we must decrease." That is especially true as we reach out to grow His church.
The one prayer God will always answer with a yes is when we ask for more of him. As you encounter Him in worship today, ask Him to fill and refill you with his Spirit… more of Him, less of us.
You are the best, and I am so glad you are part of SRCA!
