Did You Meet?

Two Sundays ago I challenged all married couples to get together for a "coaches meeting" to discuss the message points that we talked about on that Sunday. I have had many people tell me that they took the challenge and that the meeting went well. Some have gone to coffee shops, dinner, lunch, back porch and a few other locations.

Have you met? How did it go?

This fall we will once again offer a marriage Thrive class. Last year this class was a huge success and helped many marriages. We are also having out 10-10-80 financial freedom Thrive class this fall. As you know, Thrive classes are designed to be 3-6 week (each one is different) classes to help and encourage you in different aspects of your life. You can go on line and see what is coming up and can register on line too.

At CSF we value true life-change and reorientation of one's entire life around the truth of Christ. We desire that kids through adults live a life that is fully-devoted to Christ and His principles. We believe that this is the only way to combat the adverse cultural darts that are hurled at us each day at school, work and in life. We also believe that it is the BEST LIFE POSSIBLE. If you have not taken advantage of our Home Team ministry, Service Teams or Thrive workshops....you are only enjoying a portion of what God has for you.

Today's Bible Reading Luke Chapter 8

Another power packed chapter. Let me quickly hit a few "normal" questions from these classic verses:

Verses 1-15 Please notice that the same "word" or truth goes out....the affect it has on people's lives is dependent on what the person does with the truth they hear. Your spiritual growth is your responsibility. In a culture where everyone blames other people for their mistakes......Jesus is clear.

Verses 16-18 Do your friends and co-workers know that you are a dedicated Christian?

Verses 19-21 Jesus is interested in your heart FOLLOWED by action. He is action minded and fully expects your faith to be seen and acted out.

Verses 22-25 In these trouble financial times....where is your faith? Your 401K? yeah right!

Verses 26-39 Can Christians be possessed? No.... Can those who are not Christians be possessed? Yes.... Can Satan put thoughts into a Christian's mind? No....

Verses 40-56 Is there anything to big for God? No......
