Does pain have value?
In his book Leadership Pain: The Classroom for Growth, Samuel Chand suggests that pain can teach us things.
Sunday morning’s message (4/19/20) begins a series where we’ll consider that pain may be a teacher that comes with its own curriculum.
And that curriculum is valuable.
The Thursday Men’s Prayer Group went well tonight.
This is church.
It was good to hear how God was working in our different lives.
This is church.
We talked about things like changes in business and working, being productive, overcoming loneliness, stress, family members, growing close to God, being close to family, managing schedules, serving God, being healthy emotionally and spiritually and physically.
This is church.
We discussed helpful ideas.
This is church.
We shared good advice.
This is church.
And we prayed.
This is church.
If any guys are interested in joining us, contact Pastor Steve or Josh.
I have some good friends who feel it’s wrong to ask God “Why?” When I asked them why I can’t ask God why, they say that it’s disrespectful and that it’s none of our business why God does what he does.
Yeah…. and no. You can ask God why with a heart of disrespect. I’ve done it. Countless times.
But you can ask God why with a heart that wants to see what He sees – a heart that wants to know as we are known.
That’s what this video is about.
If asking God “Why?” draws you closer to him, there’s probably little you could do that would be more constructive.
This is Passion Week – or Holy Week – the week we remember Jesus’ Passion.
These days, when I think of passion, I think of how hard my fellow church leaders are working to do their ministry. Today, Laurel was helping me make this video and I said,”And just like that, every pastor’s wife became a video producer.”
Why?
Why are all these pastors doing this?
Why are all the churches streaming?
This video speaks to that question.
What a lot of people don’t realize is that this push – this passion for the gospel – is not new for most of my peers. The circumstances simply make it more evident.
Got passion? Let it show!
Laurel would like to invite the women of the church to a virtual small group.
