We have started a very fast pace through the Bible narrative. We are telling the grand story of the Bible, from creation, to the fall, and God’s plan of redemption. We are in phase two, the fall, on Fathers Day of all days. Dads, do not despair, it’s not all your fault. So the fall. A traumatic sob story of utter failure. All that God created as good now has been lost. Milton is right, paradise lost, but not for long. What we did in 7 short verses, God reverses in the remaining biblical narrative starting at Gen 3:8. In one sense it was all part of the plan in order to get Jesus. I’m not saying God did it or wanted it to happen this way but knew something in his unfashionable wisdom that we could never see. Free choice brings out our rebellious sportiest but not to worry, Jesus will make all wrongs right again. So the fall. It was inevitable.

And please remember our church as you pray about how to use your resources for God’s good. Consider this: God expects us to give because he knows the benefits that come from giving. Give and it will be given to you.

We have raised about $500k of a $1.7k budget, so far. We are reaching families and friends in our community for Christ. It’s our purpose and mission. Join us.
