Parking Is Key

Have you ever rolled your window down and said "Hi!" to one of our great parking team volunteers? They do such a great job of getting us in and out safely for all three services. They are out there rain or shine, cold or hot, snow or sleet. Next time the weather is fowl.....give them a little "Thank-You!"

Speaking of parking.....our attendance is up and growing again. Moreover, summer is over and families are all here at once. I need to ask everyone who is a regular attendee at CSF to NOT park in the guest parking front area. Please park in the back lots or around on the side lots. This helps our parking team direct guest to the up-front parking spots and then they can walk in the front doors and be greeted and given inside directions.

This past Sunday our lot was slam full during the second service. If you are attending the second service.....we really need you to not park in the front row. On that note, if you attend our growing noon service, you can park where ever you want!

See you Sunday!

Today's Bible Reading Revelation Chapter 3

As you read these verses one thing is clear. God is always watching how we live our lives and He has the power to test and know our motives. God is not impressed with flowery spiritual words that come out of our mouths but do not match our hearts real motives. God also says in verses 14-16 that he wants us to be either Hot or Cold. Some have taught that this means that God wants you to be either for Him completely or against Him completely. That He does not want you to be devoted sometimes and not on other times.

That is not what this verse means. The verse is simple. He wants you to be useful. Hot water has specific use and cold water has specific use. In general creative teaching terms...water that is only lukewarm really has no specific use. God would never say he wants you to be all bad instead of just bad once in a while...that is silly. He is saying that as a member of a local church and as a Christian in the local community....have a use and do something of value for God and His Kingdom.
