A. Direct our attention to the right object : the Lord

B. Direct our attention to the right perspective

II. Probing the soul [v.3-12]

A. Life is short: God is in control [v.3-5]

Thematic Bible Study

"Love Your Neighbor," I had no idea that I would gain as much from this study as I did! I want to encourage you to take an in depth look at a theme from the Bible this week. I know you will walk away encouraged and challenged in that area. If you have any questions about our study Sunday, or how to do a thematic Bible study please feel free to post them in the comment section of the blog.

An Extended Weekend

Friday night was scheduled as a late night hockey tournament, but ended up being a four on four basketball series. It was that night that I came to the realization that I am not as young as I used to be. We still had a good time even though we were missing the regulars.

Saturday night Shaina and Pierre watched our kids for us so that we could go out to the Olive Garden with a group from church. Thank you guys because we had a nice evening together with Max and about 32 other people from the church.

Sunday of course we spent at church.

Monday we went down to the beach with some of you guys, and had a nice time. Me, Mikey and Levi beat Pierre and Eric in a beach football game. Some of the guys knocked out an old man with a Frisbee, and Mikey got some tips on how to date older women.

Overall it was a nice weekend. We were able to relax and spend time with family and friends.

What Everyone Is Looking For!

I. Someone who isn’t afraid of Toil v. 4, 5 (Passion)
A. Working v. 4 (Eliminate excuses)
B. Wisdom v. 5 (Draw it out)

II. Someone who I can Trust v. 6 (Faithful)
A. Talk is cheap (If you have to tell people = a problem)
B. Trust is crucial (In what areas is trust crucial?)

III. Someone who is True v. 7 (Integrity)
A. The Production (Walks the walk)
B. The Profit (People will thank you)

Conclusion: Am I a hard worker? (Tough get going)
Am I a person people can trust? (Count on me)
Am I a person who is true? (No show, but all go)

Did I Do That?

I shared from 1 Samuel 17 the story of David and Goliath. The main thought I wanted to leave our church family with was that God wants each of us to do something great for God! When we finish our adventure God wants us to look back and say, "Did I do that?" Let's be amazed once again with what God can do. The key is to remember that I can't, but God can!

I would be happy to share with you how you might begin your adventure with God. There are also two choices each person must make. As you set out on your adventure you will encounter a couple of challenges along the way, but the consequences of following Christ with your whole heart are worth it all!
