Ladies' Breakfast

On November 15th, several of the ladies of the congregation met to fellowship over some yummy breakfast treats and hear an inspiring message from Connie Cummins, friend of Becky Collins who serves as a missionary in Thailand. Connie's message was unbelievable. Aside from her obvious sacrifice to live in a foreign country as a disciple for Christ, her message inspired us to live as an example for those around us.

Big thanks to Connie for her time and to Becky for introducing us to her dear friend!

All Things In Common

The title of the blog is also the title of my sermon this Sunday (Nov.16). Here is a preview of one of the ideas I'm wrestling with: "Is unselfishness other-worldly?" Baby Jesus is the poster-child of what it means to be unselfish (leaving heaven) and the man Jesus is as well (the cross).

We read in Acts 2:44 that the early church "had all things in common" - some have called this communism, others have used it to steal in the name of God. Perhaps it is misused in other ways too.

I think those just reveal a "this-worldliness" instead of following the unselfish example of our Lord's "other-worldliness." This world simply does not understand this kind of unselfishness. For that matter, neither does much of the church. (Including me most of the time). More's the pity.

Blessings
