Faith: Salvation

This week we will be looking at what it means to have faith. We will look at Ephesians 2.8,9 then also at some general themes through some of the gospels.

There are a lot of things I think of when I think about faith. I think about Indiana Jones, I think about Superman, I think of friends, and I think of my car. It's funny to me how many various meanings we have for such a (supposedly) simple word. I'm reminded of Martin Luther and I'm reminded of my mom. We are going to be looking at the relationship between faith and salvation. What do you think about the two?

Service/Fellowship

Hey team, we are looking at "fellowship" this coming week and we looked at "service" this past week. The challenge for us was to go serve downtown at the shelter, and I appreciated everyone that could make it. I understand we couldn't all do it. The main thing is to begin to think about where and how we can serve in our day-to-day lives. We at church get obsessed with evangelism and sharing the gospel, but I would challenge you to go and serve someone and see if they refuse to listen to stories about Jesus' love.

This coming week we will be looking at fellowship. Of all the topics we have covered with church, I believe this might be the easiest to practice but the hardest to perfect. Fellowship is about love and vulnerability. How can we better practice fellowship? How can we find ways to fellowship together?

As always, I love Refuge and couldn't be happier with what God is doing among us.
