During the month of September my teaching series will be on “Connections”. The big idea is that God has given His children points of connection. There are five of these connection points that we will visit over the next four weeks. As we get connected to these Biblical points of connection, we will enjoy a more balanced spiritual journey.
During this month, we will be challenged to examine three levels where we can get connected to God’s purpose for our lives. First, we will look at how our entire church family is doing in living out these points of connection. Second, we will be challenging all of our Connection Groups, whether you meet on Sunday Morning or during the week. How balanced is your small group? We sometimes can get stuck or over emphasize one purpose at the expense of the other five. Last, we will be encouraged to examine our personal walk with Jesus to make sure we are connected in a healthy way.
Imagine a typical car running with an engine and on four good wheels. Balanced, smooth, and connected to the road. Now imagine taking a wheel off. Imagine taking one wheel off and having a second wheel that is undersized. Picture having all four wheels but no engine. Get the point? We need all four wheels, all four connection points, as well as the engine. Our biblical connection points are worship, fellowship, discipleship, service and mission. All five are necessary to be connected to God’s purpose for your life. Let’s get connected and live a balanced life, have a balanced Connection Group and Church family.
See you Sunday, good Lord willing,
Pastor Tom
