e-news for 10/2/11

We had a “Connect” event at our house last night. I started off the evening asking these new worshippers at Forum what they thought we valued as a church:

• It’s a friendly place. You care about lost people.
• You value the Bible. You’re not preaching opinions you just let it speak.
• Forum values children and youth.

It was a very great night because people are seeing what makes us tick.

God continues to work in our church body drawing people into relationship with Him. People continue to deepen in their relationship with the Lord.

Thanks for the great response to the FC United series. Unity within The Church is truly a game-changer. When God’s people stand together as one, Christ is glorified. When we stay focused on One Lord, one faith, one baptism, one hope, one God and Father over all who is in all, the kingdom of God advances. The Word reminds us:

Psalm 133: 1 How good and pleasant it is
when brothers live together in unity!

This Sunday we move into another facet of our Game changers theme with “Game changing goals.”

Have you set life goals? Maybe you created your “bucket list” and you are marking those items off. Have you pursued your goals? Your dreams?

Here’s a quick question: do you think that God has a goal for your life?

The church has encouraged people to live a “purpose driven life” and encouraged people to find their purpose(s), but the concept of God having goals and maybe even metrics for our lives might be something you’ve not considered.

We’ll look at it Sunday. We’ll be in Ephesians 4 if you want to read ahead. Looking forward to a great encounter as we worship together. See you then - Scott
