As a people, as a church, we are called to be ambassadors for Christ. Again and again I go back to the definition of an ambassador – someone who lives in a foreign country with the sole purpose of representing their homeland. As Christ's ambassadors we live in this world, but we are citizens of Christ's kingdom. It is his kingdom we represent, him we are to imitate. When we get sucked into living life by the standard of this world we cease being effective in our role as ambassadors.
My role as your priest is to encourage you to continually develop the mind of Christ, to grow in your faith and understanding of what it means to follow Jesus. To that end I share with you some of the immediate fruit of Faith Alive.
* A new men's Bible study is forming. It will meet in the evening. Please talk to Cris Campbell if you are interested in joining this study.
* Remember the fellowship over dinner at Faith Alive, and the sharing that happened? We will be forming DSP groups. DSP = dinner, share, and pray. Groups will meet monthly. There is a 4 month commitment.
* During Faith /Alive our visiting witnesses shared brief glimpses into what God had done for them. During Lent we will hear from 6 of our own members about what God has done and is doing. Are you one of the 6? Pray and ask the Lord.
Thanks be to God that we might worship Him in spirit and in truth! God is on the move here in SRCA!
Blessings,
Becki+
