What did Jesus value?
|
In biblical times the Jews had an expectation of God’s kingdom centering around nationalism, the military, political power and religious supremacy rather than a spiritual transformation. When Jesus showed up, he flipped everyone’s expectations upside down, calling people to radically rethink what they valued. Even though God’s people valued power through political and religious structures, Jesus teaches us in Scripture that power over evil can be attained only through a restored relationship with God.
|
Question of the day: What values do you think are most important to your generation?
Focal scriptures: Matthew 5:1-11; Isaiah 61:1-4, 8; Matthew 7:24-27

UPDATE to Capital Needs List

|

- Thank you for your financial faithfulness from the HOPE campaign. We were able to create a balanced budget based on real numbers.
- Leadership unanimously agreed to keep with the 10/10/80 plan for finances. The first 10% of every gift is given in generosity. The second 10% is put in the rainy day fund for emergencies and unexpected facility needs. The 80% is what we use for operating expenses.
- We made a great hire for youth ministries in Larry and Nadia Wood.
- We partnered with Bridges and replaced another AC unit. We are completely starting over and getting the WIFI and internet system up-to-date by the end of October.
- We are looking forward to upcoming events: Trunk or Treat, Shoebox ministry. GO month in November, and free yard sale December 13.
