Keep Your Head

One of the things I enjoy about the weekend services is the time the worship team has to hang out and talk. We take one of the services to open up the Word and share some thoughts. Here is the passage of scripture that we've discussed. We had some awesome discussion:

Timothy 4:3-8

"For the time will come when men will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear. They will turn their ears away from the truth and turn aside to myths. But you, keep your head in all situations, endure hardship, do the work of an evangelist, discharge all the duties of your ministry.

For I am already being poured out like a drink offering, and the time has come for my departure. I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. Now there is in store for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on that day—and not only to me, but also to all who have longed for his appearing."

After discussing this scripture passage, here is what we came up with:

1.Keep our head in the game.
a. Stay focused on the goal
b. Spend time in God's Word
c. Spend time in prayer

2.Endure hardships
a. Those who choose to follow Christ choose to suffer trials
b. We share in His sufferings

3.Do the work. Enough said.

4.Keep the faith

The result is:
A crown of righteousness.

Summer is here, but at Christ Fellowship the fun is just beginning. Coming up is our new series, "I Love This Place." This is a study from the scriptures about the Church.

Invest and Invite cards are available. Take some and invite the peeps. Let's do this thing!

I Love you all.
