Youth Tomorrow Night!

Tomorrow night, we will begin a new series for November called “Garrison”, a 3 part series looking at the value of the heart and the mind and areas in our life in which we ought to be guarded. Specifically this week we are looking into Proverbs 4 and making this point: The heart and mind are to be treasured and protected. Pastor Nathan will be looking at the value of the heart and mind, the overlap of one’s affections and thoughts, and how a healthy internal life leads to a godly external life. 
Here are some questions to consider as a small group:
  • How does last month’s series on God the Father help us to understand this father in Proverbs 4?
  • What do you find you are affectionate about (outside of Jesus)? Have you seen that become a problem or an idol in your life?
  • How do you think movies/music play a part in your thinking and affections? (A prelude to a couple of weeks from now)

It is also a SNACK NIGHT tomorrow night!!

November Book Recommendations

Moving forward we (Ashley and I) want to give books that have been helpful for us as followers of Christ, as husband/wife and certainly as parents. Here is a duo of books that “marry” well together, really highlighting some core Gospel principles in parenting, even amidst the busyness and tiredness that is leading a child/teen every single day. We hope these two books, should you choose to read them, bless you in the weeks ahead!
