I remember last October sitting in a hotel room and thinking that doing a summer series would be a challenge. We normally do 4-5 part series and to keep interest and energy for 7 weeks I felt would be a challenge. But my dad felt strongly that we should pursue a series on choices during the summer. So, we came up with the idea of Simple Questions.
I have been blow away at what God has done in our community over the last 5 wks. We have looked so far at these questions:
- Will you believe in God's love
- Will you accept God's forgiveness
- Will you follow Christ leadership
- Will you choose to Forgive
- Will you trust God with your future
This series has really spoken to me a lot. I received an email today that said the last couple of weeks this series has really been speaking to them and caused them to make some changes in their life. At the end of service last Sunday someone came up to me and told me the story of what God was doing in their life because of what God had been dealing with them through this series.
Again these simple questions have huge implications to them. I believe they can alter your life to be more like Christ if we can see the significance the question.
Ethos, thank you for hanging in there with us over the summer. I want you to know that leading this community is a joy. There are so many weeks where I feel so unqualified to teach because I compare myself to other teachers of the word. The enemy comes in to tell me that I am not good enough or that I don't know enough, but what I am finding is that if I am called by God to lead ethos that it will all workout. I am in this community heart and soul. My passion is to never just teach the bible at people but to share the story of God with people. I am learning to be vulnerable and be willing to admit my own weaknesses with our community. Thank you for believing in my leadership!
