e-news for week of 9/4/11

One of the most eye opening principles is this: Jesus said to them, “My Father is always at his work to this very day, and I, too, am working.” John 5: 17

God is always at work.

The Creator of the universe is always at work:

• He’s working in the lives of people around you to reveal Himself to them
• He’s orchestrating providentially for the good of those who love Him
• He’s protecting, sheltering, providing, healing, securing, calling saints home

God is always at work.

We then join Him in His work.

Too many people want glory, credit, honor, the pat on the head for being the good little Christian when the world needs to see Him and His glory and goodness – not our human desires that, frankly, are kind of vain.

This week we start a new series called FC UNITED. In order for Forum to be a Game Changer in Columbia, we have to be united. That unity can only happen by all of us totally committing to God. The Creator of the Universe, of your body, of this world revealed Himself to us through Jesus Christ and through His word.

We’ve had a lot of the activity of our Sovereign Lord going on at Forum lately:

• This past Sunday a new class began for international students. Last Sunday afternoon the teacher baptized one of those who attended (Praise God!)
• Wednesday night a bunch of people (mostly children and families) chose to involve themselves with “The Reach Project” and serve senior saints at Lenoir.
• This Sunday Financial Peace University launches
• This Sunday our Children’s theater program launches
• A bunch of Life Groups kick back off for the fall this week

Keep your eyes, hearts, minds, bodies, and souls focused in on the Lord. Can’t wait to worship with you this Sunday. Bring a friend – it’s a great time to intentionally connect someone to Jesus. - Scott
