So this is new territory to me. I tried one other time to do a daily blog, and it lasted a good two posts. So your response to this right off will tell us if this is something we can use to talk Christianity together!
We’ll start with yesterday’s key verses from The Edge…1 Thess. 5:16-18, which reads, “Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.”
Here’s the discussion, and it’s the same one that I discussed with the C3 staff today…
Where are you in these three commands, to REJOICE ALWAYS, PRAY CONTINUALLY, AND GIVE THANKS IN ALL CIRCUMSTANCES? Which do you struggle with the most? What emotions come to you as you think about this passage? Do you think this is attainable? If so, how? If not, why is it in the Word?
My husband and I attended The Edge for the first time today. We both work in retail so it is difficult to always go to church together. The service feels very alive and real. We felt comfortable to worship and enriched by the sermon. I love the idea of a blog to keep up to date with what is going on, especially knowing that we won’t always be able to make it to church. The shower power idea is fantastic it is a great way to keep God as the center of your life and continually return to His principles throughout the week. Thank you for following God and trying new ideas.
Alicia,
Thanks so much for the affirmation! I can’t tell you how exciting and fulfilling this has been to start The Edge. And Derek told me you may be bringing guests with you this Sunday? That is awesome.
Our purpose, as I said Sunday, is to make God’s Word come alive, and to have people fall in love with Him and His Word.
Catch me after the service Sunday if you get a chance so I can say hi to you guys.
Have a great week!
