Fruit

Bonnie challenged us last week to do something radical for the mission of Christ.  I trust you felt her passion and are inspired to be radical yourself…..the kingdom of God is worth pouring our time, talent and treasure into. 

I go back to the picture of my son on the motorcycle ride…. wide open for God.  This last week I took my kids on a jet ski and they were not so excited to go wide open.  They were very scared and overwhelmed.  We are all at different stages in our journey.  What might look radical to one may be very comfortable to another.  The point is that you are taking your next step in growth toward following Jesus.  You may be going from a to b or m to n.  Please don’t feel like we are asking you to step from a to z overnight.  Each one of us needs a goal, but it takes a lot of encouragement and challenge over a period of time.  Remember, the formula is grace and truth plus time.

This week we are going to hear from Eric Dale.  Eric has been stepping out in faith to pursue the radical mission that Jesus gave us in Matthew 28.  Eric is the clerk of our missions committee and just recently went to Kenya, Uganda and Nepal to see what God has for the future of Wabash Friends Church missions program.  What kind of world impact will we make for the sake of the Gospel of Jesus Christ?  Eric has a fire in his core about pursuing the lost in the darkest areas of the world.

In preparation for Sunday read Isaiah 49:6, Acts 1:8 and Genesis 12:3.

See you Sunday,
