Have you ever heard any of these expressions?
“If you are going to talk the talk, then walk the walk!”
“Say what you mean and mean what you say!”
“Practice what you preach!”
“Actions speak louder than words!”
Of course you have heard these. We recognize that a consistency among the ideas we cherish, the things we say, and the way we act is important. We recognize this importance in virtues such as integrity, honesty, conviction, transparency. Our maturity as followers of Jesus Christ increases when we notice the vital relationship of believing, speaking, and doing.
For three weeks in April, we will use 2 Corinthians 4:13-18 as our guide and explore how our belief in Christ’s teachings drives our words and actions.
April 15 – 01. Core Belief
April 22 – 02. How Do We Speak Belief and Believe?
April 29 [Friend’s Day] – 03.Friends of God

We are called to Mission… not simply a mission trip, but a lifestyle that shows others that we really are on a mission from God… a mission that IS our purpose … one that glorifies Him and denies ourselves.
Honduras provides an opportunity to live out this Mission by becoming a part of a culture that is very different from ours… a language that we do not speak… food we do not normally eat… people we may have not associated with in the past. Our team of 64 students and adults will help build security walls with cement blocks and mortar at local schools, paint walls, some of which will be Biblical scenes inside the schools, conduct a daily VBS at a variety of schools, serve in an orphanage and many other activities. The work will be very hard, but very rewarding. Pray for the mission and the team members listed below.

The myths of the ancient Greeks remain a vital part of our culture. Recent films such as Wrath of the Titans, Percy Jackson, and books such as The Hunger Games are inspired by these legends of old.
No one can say that the Greek myths are gone and forgotten. The names of mythological figures are widely used in our technology and entertainment. Apollo took us to the moon and Pandora gives us radio over the Internet. (But if one knows the story of Pandora, why would you ever open it on your PC?)
The gospel of Christ includes themes that are sometimes present in Greek Myth. So much so that critics dismiss Christian faith as “just another religious myth.” Yet, the on-going story of Christ is quite different in important respects.
In the four weeks of this series we will consider what elements from the myths old and new might be redeemed for Christian faith. We will also pay attention to the unique, life-changing, universe-altering implications of the message about Christ.
The four parts of this series are:
March 18 – Don’t Open That Box (The Myth of Pandora and The Reality of Sin)
March 25 – Into the Labyrinth (Theseus and the Minotaur, The Hunger Games, and Heroic Sacrifice)
April 1 – Forget The Titans (Wrath, Rebellion, and Redemption)
April 8 – The God of the Sun and the Son of God (The Dying God Myth and Christ’s Resurrection)
