Eucharisteo takes intentional practice. Have you practiced this attitude of gratitude this week? You can't change the way you do gratitude overnight, but we can start small by talking to a trusted friend about why Eucharisteo is hard for you. These are the deeper conversations that produce growth in our relationships with God and others.
Being a follower of Jesus is a journey. Personal character growth is a journey. Developing a strong team of people who will walk with you on this journey takes time and intentionality. Being on the followers journey is hard but it is worth it.........keep at it!
This week we will be talking about our guide on this followers journey.....The Holy Spirit. We may not understand a lot about our guide so come tomorrow and find out about baby steps. Read Romans 8:26-28 for Sunday.
See you tomorrow,
Alex

Eucharisteo
I spent last week in Michigan investing time in prayer,
study of the word, planning for the next year and time with my family. It was a great week to get away and clear my
head. Jesus did this often. One of the reaffirming themes I walked away
with is that i cannot journey alone as a Christ follower, nor can you. Even in the work I was able to get done, I
needed to bring it back into the community of our staff and trusted people in
my life. There is an incredible benefit
to kingdom work when we connect with each other for the sake of Christ. Not only does it benefit the kingdom, but it
brings life to us as well. Scott was
right with his question from last week, who is the person or small group you are thinking about meeting
with in order to grow more in your faith?
Take a step in
the right direction by making known your need for intentional relationships on
the followers journey. We got a great
response to Scott’s email. We would love
to continue to hear from you.
Please email us by hitting the reply
button at the top of your screen or talk to us about how you are growing. It
helps us know you.
This week we
are talking about a word that you will need for the journey of following Christ,
“Eucharisteo” (giving thanks) Read Luke
17:11-19 for Sunday. One leper had
something the other nine did not.
See you
Sunday,
Alex
