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!

On my desk at school, I have (from Max Lucado's WHEN GOD WHISPERS YOUR NAME) a reminder of my many DAILY CHOICES. Here are just some fruit of the Spirit:
I choose LOVE... No occasion justifies hatred; no injustice warrants bitterness. I choose love. Today I will love God AND what God loves!
I choose JOY... I will invite God to be the God of circumstance. I will refuse the temptation to be cynical. I will refuse to see people as anything less that human beings created by God. I will refuse to see any problem as anything less than an opportunity to see God.
I choose PEACE... I will live forgiven. I will forgive so that I may live.
I choose KINDNESS... I will be kind to the poor, for they are alone. Kind to the rich, for they are afraid. And kind to the unkind, for such is how God has treated me!
