An eNote from Rodney

Friday November 6, 2015

Dear Trinity Church Family,

This Sunday we will look at the fourth of our “Five Practices of A Fruitful Congregation.” The practice we are looking at is risk taking mission and service. What I don’t want this to be is a harangue about how we ought to be doing more.  Trust me, I have preached those sermons to myself and they never do much good.  The title of the sermon is “Service that Comes From the Heart.”  In the class I have been taking at Fruitland Bible College, I have been breaking down the first verses of Paul’s letter to the Ephesians. In Ephesians 1:4,  Paul reminds them that God chose them to be holy and blameless before him in love? What if service were done not out of moral obligation but out of Ephesians 1:4.  What would our lives look like if we truly took to heart the knowledge that God chose us to be holy and blameless before him in love.  You can build a beautiful life on that little bit of knowledge.  

Duke plays Carolina tomorrow and Alabama plays LSU.  May your ball team do well and I look forward to seeing you on Sunday morning.

Sincerely,

Rodney
