Notes from Chuck
Dear Prized Possessions,
I pray you are and will continue living in the reality that “you were bought with a price” and that you are “belonging to God.” We, church, are His prized possession. That should humble you and fill you with confidence at the same time!
I need to make a confession to you. I love meat. I know I should eat fruits and vegetables more and watch my red meat intake, but meat is amazing! I love red meat, chicken, ribs, steaks, fajitas, meat lover’s pizza, and hamburgers with Swiss cheese and mushrooms! There are few things like the first bite of a well-marinated, tender steak. The flavor explodes on your tongue as you begin to chew and savor the deliciousness of it.
I believe our souls explode with flavor as we cut up and chew on the morsels of the Word of God. This Sunday we will begin to work on a lovely piece of meat called “The Gospel of Mark.” It will be my honor and joy to serve up to you a platter of the best meat on the planet. And this meat doesn’t fill the stomach but the heart. Come hungry this Sunday, and let us glut ourselves on the Glorious Eternal One—Jesus.
Men, our Men’s Advance Weekend is coming up. The deadline to sign up is February 14! Don’t drag your feet! We are going to have some fun, hangout together, and learn how to be the best wounded, Holy Spirit-empowered fighters we can be. This will be the start of some good things to come for men at Crossbridge.
See-ya Sunday.
You are my blessing and privilege, and I love being your pastor.
Chuck
