Our schedule lately has been very up and down, but that is just how it is in a church our size during the summer. That being said, I don't see many more interruptions to our schedule coming up so I am hoping we will find some consistency from here on out so we will have a good boost going into the new school year this fall.
Tonight (6/8) we will be wrapping up a 3 part series called "Flipped." Since it has been a few weeks since we were together for part 2 I figured it may do us some good to review this series in order to bring us up to speed for tonight's part 3.
Week 1: "Power Doesn't Matter."
25 But Jesus called them together and said, “You know that the rulers in this world lord it over their people, and officials flaunt their authority over those under them. 26 But among you it will be different. Whoever wants to be a leader among you must be your servant, 27 and whoever wants to be first among you must become your slave. 28 For even the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve others and to give his life as a ransom for many” (Matthew 20:25-28).
46 Then his disciples began arguing about which of them was the greatest. 47 But Jesus knew their thoughts, so he brought a little child to his side. 48 Then he said to them, “Anyone who welcomes a little child like this on my behalf welcomes me, and anyone who welcomes me also welcomes my Father who sent me. Whoever is the least among you is the greatest” (Luke 9:46-48).

If you want power then get busy serving others!
Week 2: "Stuff Doesn't Matter!"
“Don’t store up treasures here on earth, where moths eat them and rust destroys them, and where thieves break in and steal. Store your treasures in heaven, where moths and rust cannot destroy, and thieves do not break in and steal” (Matthew 6:19-20).
Then one of the teachers of religious law said to him, “Teacher, I will follow you wherever you go.” But Jesus replied, “Foxes have dens to live in, and birds have nests, but the Son of Man has no place even to lay his head” (Matthew 8:19-20).

What "stuff" is keeping us from living lives that honor God?
Week 3: "Acting Religious Doesn't Matter."
We'll figure this on out tonight!
