From Jena:
This week we're remembering Caleb's story, found in
Numbers 13. When he was faced with a challenge, he
trusted in God's power and stepped forward, unlike
most of the Israelites.
When faced with a challenge, I often think too much
about myself, and too little about God. Can I
accomplish the task alone? When the answer is "no," I
need to remember that God is greater than my
insufficiencies.
When has God taken you past your perceived limitations
to accomplish His work? Or is God calling you right
now into a situation that requires you to trust Him,
and step out in faith? Let us hear your stories!

From Paula:
This week, Bruce will be telling the story of Rahab from the book of Joshua. We will be focusing on choosing sides and keeping promises. One of my favorite verses has always been Joshua 24:15. A lot of my faith has been formed by making a choice for God and sticking with it. I don't always walk it out perfectly, but I never walk away. I have made my choice about who I will serve and I intend to stick by it. My faith definitely has its peaks and valleys, but I always have the ability to choose who I will serve.
Can you remember a time when you've had to make a choice for God? Was there a risk involved? How did you stick to your choice even when it was difficult?
I'm looking forward to worshiping with you all on Sunday and celebrating the choice to live faithful lives!

From Shelley:
This Sunday, Bruce will be focusing on the story of Esther, and how she
allowed God to use her and her unique situation to augment his work and
plan. Don't you love it when God lets us see how he placed us in just the
right time and place to do something good -- to make a difference? Those
in the world may call it a coincidence. I call it God!
I'm just now reminded of a time in my life a few years ago. One evening,
I stopped for gas on my way home and saw a woman re-fueling next to me.
She looked very familiar and we struck up a conversation. I don't
remember her exact story now, but her loneliness and sadness were quite
evident. Somehow, I just felt moved to invite her home to dinner (we were
having leftovers, no less!) She accepted, followed me home, and we had a
lovely time of sharing and fellowship. I praised God later for prodding
me to talk to this stranger and share what I had with her (not waiting for
the "right" time or a special dinner, as is my usual mode of operation).
What a life lesson!
Well, I've shared my story; I would love to hear yours. I'll bet you can
remember an incident where God used a "chance" encounter or circumstance
in your life to bless others. Won't you share?
