I saw a news flash today that RFK Jr, age 71, completed 50 pull-ups and 100 push-ups in under six minutes. I thought, “How is that possible?”
Answer: RFK Jr. apparently still works out. A lot. He is the kind of guy who keeps growing physically.
If growing physically strong and healthy requires continued effort, what about spiritual growth?
We are the kind of people who keep growing spiritually. We keep discovering new truths. We keep drawing near to God. We keep following Jesus into new territory.
We know that healthy things grow. Here are three reasons why we are the kind of people who keep growing:
And if that is not motivation enough, remember that God’s Word is not static or stale, it is “living and active.” (Hebrews 4:12) God is still working today – in all of us – to bring not just life, but abundant life. (John 10:10) So, keep growing.
As Steve shared in his sermon last week, practice “Shema-ing” in a Sunday class, small group, or in your personal Bible Study. LISTEN HERE
May the Lord be with you,

Once upon a time I had a request for a Proverbs 18:10 song, which led me on a bunny trail to writing a whole bunch of Proverbs 18:10 songs in lots of different translations. Is God a tower or fortress? Are we the godly or righteous? Do we run to him or run in him?
The way each translation captures this idea differs just so slightly, and really stirred my curiosity about this verse and broadened my idea of God.
Here’s a short playlist of all my songs on this verse:

June 1-8 we will be partnering with World Vision for a special Chosen event. As a church, we’ll be signing up to sponsor children in Guatemala, but instead of us choosing a child, the child gets to choose YOU.
To make this event successful, we are in need to volunteers to help out in the Gathering Space. There are multiple opportunities, including the Saturdays before the big events and different times throughout the Sunday mornings of June 1 and June 8.
As a volunteer, you’ll be given an orange t-shirt (to wear during your shift), training, and a specific role for your shift. In addition:
1. All volunteers will be assigned specific roles upon arrival.
2. You’ll still get to attend a worship service.
3. World Vision requires volunteers to sign a waiver HERE prior to arrival (minors must have form completed by a parent).
4. Watch the Training videos:
Consider volunteering today and making this event a wonderful one!
