How Connected are you?

I love our church.

I love the stories, the people and the life change that is happening. I just got through watching a homemade video from our worship / baptism night last Sunday. It reminded me that God uses us, our relational connections and our personalities to help others take the “Next RIGHT STEP” with Christ.

It was powerful!

What was just as powerful was sitting around a table after the night and laughing and celebrating with a few of the people that went through baptism…..Our life is a series of memories – opportunities- challenges and moments of laughter…..they happen best when we are connected…..

This past week we started signups for our summer Growth Group season. I love how many different types of groups there are. It’s important for us to remember that the groups doing some sort of Bible Study are not more spiritual than the ones going Bowling or smoking cigars!

The way to evaluate spirituality is to ask questions like, “How did I apply what I learned?” or “How am I caring for and loving the people in my group?” or “How is my heart changing to become more like Jesus?”

That happens when we are connected.
