My Dear Church Family
This coming Sunday, August 29th is Youth Sunday, and we have a very special treat for you. “Big Picture,” the worship band from San Diego Christian College that lead worship for our Junior High and High School students this year at Thousand Pines Summer Camp, will be here to lead us in worship. One thing is definitely true of this group, they are “Passionate” about leading others in “Worship.”
Come and join us to worship our Lord!
Pastor Jason
If you were to tell your faith story, in almost every single case, you would be talking about a “providential relationship.” A providential relationship refers to a person or people that God has strategically and supernaturally placed in your life to pray for you, engage in life and relationship with you, and take the continual risk to invite you to church, share their story of God’s work in their life, or share God’s story with you.
The truth is this: God has chosen to use people to reveal Himself. I think we can all agree that an all-knowing, all-powerful and everywhere-present God does not need to use us.
The truth is this: God has chosen to grow our faith through putting us in circumstances that are outside our comfort zone, like opening up our mouth and asking the question, “So…do you believe in God?”
Challenge: I have two challenges for you this week.
1) Think through your life and identify the “providential relationships” that God has used to build your faith. Take the time to contact them and thank them for allowing God to use them in this way.
2) Think through the “providential relationships” that God has placed around you. Who are the family members, friends, coworkers, classmates, neighbors, etc… that God might use to build your faith through taking you out of your comfort zone in sharing His truth?
