Dear Sisters & Brothers, Let’s take a walk together
Friends I want to invite you on a journey with me during the month of July. Our focus will be to discover a closer walk with God by learning how to talk to Him and to better hear His voice in our lives…really! This journey will be guided by a brand new book by John Eldridge entitled, Walking with God. In this book we will get to ride in the front seat with him for one year of his life as he talks to, listens to, and follows the voice of God. You will experience first hand his victories and his struggles. And as I have already discovered while reading his book, you will find yourself with a closer walk with God.
I believe that all of us are in a place where we long to know God more. We are all thirsty to hear from Him more clearly and would jump at anything that would help us do that. If that is you then walk with me, walk with John Eldridge, and in the process walk more closely with God. His book is available in the lobby at OFC for $15. With the book will be a bookmark with a reading scheduled planned out for you to complete the book during the month of July. On Sunday July 6th we will begin our four week message series based off of this book called, Let’s take a walk. Here is the good news. If you miss a week because of vacation you can take your book with you and keep up with everyone else. You can listen to the sermons online anywhere in the world. Or you can pick up a copy of the sermon on CD when you get back. What a great way to stay connected!
Alongside of the book and message series I will be leading a brief 4 week study that will take our discoveries a little bit deeper. This will be on Wednesday nights at My Place starting July 9th. A Potluck meal will start at 6PM wrapping up everything by 7:30PM. There will also be something for Teens and for Children during this time. On Wed. July 23rd in place of the study we will be having a Prayer & Praise Service that starts at 6:30PM right after we eat. Many of you are thirsty for an extended time of worship and prayer. Bring your prayer requests with you so we can be in prayer together.
Lastly I want each of us to analyze our personal commitments. What steps are we taking right now to grow our walk with God? What are we doing right now to hear Him more? What are we doing right now to give more of our day to day lives over to Him? Don’t let summer be a vacation from God for you. This is the perfect opportunity for you to grow. It is also a perfect opportunity for your friends, family, or coworkers to grow. In whom have you been Investing and Inviting? Bring someone with you to the message series. Get a book for a friend and commit to reading together. Tell them you will go to My Place on Wednesday’s with them. I believe God is going to do a new thing in us this summer. I believe this will be a July for all of us to remember. You will experience more joy, more confidence, and ultimately a greater intimacy with God. So, let’s take a walk… Blessings, Your Dreaming Pastor
