Okay, I’m going to give you the text for the message this Sunday at Christ Fellowship. And I’m going to tell you some of what it means. This way you don’t even have to show up for church this Sunday! Right? There is absolutely no reason to even get out of bed this Sunday…well, except that the Bible tells us to meet together. You have a responsibility. It is part of the sanctification process we are all called to go through. And you would be missed. And you would miss it. But other than that, don’t worry about it.
Anyway, here is the test from 1 John 2:29. “If you know that He is righteous, you know that everyone who does what is right has been born of Him.” Part of what that means is that a true believer in and follower of Jesus will do righteous (right) things. Let me give you some examples of righteous things you can do coming up at Christ Fellowship.
Tomorrow morning (Saturday, 9/9) Victoria is moving from one apartment to another and she needs help. She doesn’t have a lot of stuff or a lot of heavy stuff and she isn’t moving far. We will start at 10 am tomorrow at 1709 Edgewood Dr. #304 in B’port. Pickup trucks will be helpful.
Tuesday, September 12 at 7pm, we start our Conquer video series helping men stay away from addictive temptations like porn and other problems. This will be every Tuesday night for just 5 weeks and is a powerful tool that you can use whether you have a problem or you know of somebody that does.
Feel free to start bringing items for our Operation Christmas Child emphasis. Our packing party will be November 5th and you can find out more info about what can go into the boxes here: How to Pack a Shoebox (samaritanspurse.org)
Lastly, we are going to have some fun filling up our food pantry this Sunday. We are asking everybody to bring something for the pantry that starts with the first letter of your first name. For instance, I haven’t decided if I am going to bring tuna or tarts or tapioca or maybe tiger tears. Just not sure at this point but you get it. Now go get it and bring it to church Sunday morning. It’ll be fun AND righteous.
I love you all! — Todd
