“Your Personal Best”

When a person says, “Yes” to Jesus and yields all that they are – their whole heart, soul, mind, and strength – a life altering transformation begins. This transformation is for the best. Jesus Christ was and is the greatest human in our history. He fully lived for God. Since His time on earth, those who imitate Him, who are driven by His Spirit, who yield themselves to the Lord continue to elevate others and redeem the world!!!!

Over the next months, Forum is going to dial into this transformative power of Christ via a series of sermons and lessons called, “Your Personal Best.” It starts this Sunday. Let me encourage you to invite friends. Give a phone call to someone who you think could use a good spiritual jump start. Maybe you’ve personally lapsed into a spiritual rut. The entire leadership is praying for you to have a breakthrough to a new level spiritually.

How can this happen, you ask? Be here Sunday, and let’s start the journey together. Joshua 24:15 will be part of the backdrop.

I want to take a moment to highlight the great kick off our youth ministry had this past Sunday night. Over 100 students had a great time of worship, study, some goofiness for our junior high students, and fellowship. Our high school minister, Justin Keith and his team, transformed the auditorium and customized it for our high school students. Our junior high room is new for them and is also serving them exceptionally. Great job. And to maybe the one or two junior high or high school students who might read this – great job bringing friends. I’d encourage you to do that all semester.

This Saturday is our neighborhood canvassing on the north end of town. Thanks to the 8-10 of you who already picked up those hangers. For those who are intending to help this weekend, simply meet at 10:00 a.m. at The Hilton Garden Conference Center and we’ll go over the how’s and where’s to circulate these.

Sunday is a tailgate party after 3rd service. Brats, dogs, hamburgers, and drinks are provided – bring a side or two and some folding chairs. It’s so fun to see our church grounds swarming with people. Looking forward to it for sure.

Looking forward to a stellar worship and encounter with God this Sunday. See you then – Scott

Worship at North Campus Sunday, September 5 @ 10:30 a.m.
