Looking back & Looking forward

Hey friends,

You peeps know the drill... Ignite/LIT is this Wednesday. The Trust is this Saturday morning for you HS students and your Fast Food Progressive Dinner is this Saturday from 5-9pm. Check this site for other goodness by the way!

I thought it would be good each week to just remind you what we covered this past Sunday at Ignition and what you can be looking forward to this coming Sunday. We are studying 1 John, a book all about assurance i.e. how do I know I have a relationship with God? The answer we found is that the person who has a relationship with God is the person whose life has been changed by Christ! We have covered the first seven verses and we have seen that this book is all about Jesus. Our lives should be the same. We have seen that it was written so we could have fellowship i.e. a relationship with God and His people. We have the greatest bond in the world and that bond is the precious Savior! In the Savior we have joy which is better than anything else in this world. Lastly we looked at the way we can have this fellowship and joy is to walk in the light i.e. live in a way that reflects the glory of Christ. This life is lived out of delight in knowing God, not in duty. A life that is lived this way is evidence that Jesus has cleansed us from our sin. Is this stuff not legit?

This coming Sunday we will be going over 1 John 1:8-2:2. Let me encourage you to read this portion of God's Word a few times during this week and ask God to help you understand what He is communicating to you. Be praying for Joe D as he brings to us the message that God has for us. I trust that this will encourage, challenge, convict your hearts as you Rep The KING this week! Have a good one my friends!
