@belmontu Church Fair y’all!
This Sunday, we are continuing our series on faith. The author of Hebrews says that "faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see." Faith is the "keep-goingness." Faith is trusting that God is bringing about His new creation even when we can't see it. Sometimes, this means waiting on the promise: living our ordinary lives as if there is something else happening, anticipating God's presence even in the mundane. Sometimes, it means waiting on the promise in the midst of emptiness. God gave Abraham a promise and Abraham chose to believe in the promise even when nothing was happening. But often, we are called to believe the promises when something is happening, but the something is working against the promise. Faith is trusting in the midst of suffering, tragedy, pain, war, and struggle. We can't do this by ourselves. We need the Church led by the Spirit. Let's explore faith together.
Prayer of thanksgiving for Amelia Cullen today! O God, you have taught us through your blessed Son that whoever receives a little child in the name of Christ receives Christ himself: We give thanks for the blessing you have bestowed upon this family in giving them a child. Confirm their joy by a lively sense of your presence with them, and give them calm strength and patient wisdom as they seek to bring this child to love all that is true and noble, just and pure, lovable and gracious, excellent and admirable, following the example of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Amen.
We have a lot of community events that we are excited about this fall! If you are looking for a church family, we invite you to join us this Sunday @ 10am.
This Sunday, we have the privilege of being joined by our friend Pastor @deborahmjackson who will be preaching and leading us to the Table. Deborah is one of the pastors on staff at @cil_insta in Hendersonville. She is an ordained minister, serving as an elder at CIL. She leads the Veritas College at CIL, an in-depth scripture training program. Deborah holds a Master of Science in Curriculum, Instruction, and Technology degree. She and husband Paul have been married for 31 years and have grown children: stepson Kyle and daughter-in-law Tara, daughter Daryn and son Alex. We are so excited to have Deborah with us!
At the beginning of his letter to the Colossians, Paul makes some radical statements about Jesus. He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. All things were created through him and for him. Everything holds together in him. God’s fullness dwells in him and he has reconciled all things to himself through the Son! Big, heady stuff. Why does Paul use such big language? Why does Paul the need to say this in so many different ways, over and over again? The Colossians (like all of us) were distracted. They had many things, narratives, images around them beckoning them towards a certain kind of life. In Christ, “all things” hold together. When we get distracted, the “many things” take our focus away from the one thing, the person of Jesus. Join us Sunday as we are challenged to see the many in light of the One.
This Sunday, we will be challenged by the story of The Good Samaritan and the ages old question: “Who is My Neighbor?” Grace and Peace!
