Happy Friday Impacters!First day back in the office from visiting my brother Brandon in Seattle, WA. It's been 9 years since I've seen Brandon or his wife Michelle and my nephew Hayden who I'd never met. It was exciting to get away from the heat & humidity of Florida and go where there is cool and normal weather. Plus, the 'Salmon Days' festival was on so I got to indulge in some of the best salmon I've ever tasted. *Note - if you want to go somewhere to eat salmon, go to Seattle.
But enough chatter about how awesome my week was, let's get to the point of this blog. At Impact this week, we're starting a series called Then&There/Here&Now to talk about the issue of who we were prior to Christ and our need for a savior - about how we're His chosen ones - see Colossians 3:12. Then&There is this week - we're looking at why Paul had to address these issues with the Church in Colossae. I often wonder if we're like that church, made new creations but continually going back to our old ways and not striving toward what Christ has or wants for us as His chosen.
Join us this week at 8pm in the Student Center to hear and learn from God's Word - to look at the ways He wants to challenge us to be more like His Son, Jesus Christ. Come out at 7 pm if you'd like to join us as we seek God in prayer for His Spirit to move on the evening and for guidance in our walks with Him.
Dont miss out on what God wants to do in your life and through your life. Hope to see you there!Praise the Shepherd,
Mike
