Last week we announced that on next Friday, October 12, we would be heading for downtown Portland to minister to the homeless, with Bridgetown Ministries. Due to the memorial service of Jan Geist we have moved our Nightstrike to Friday, Ocotober 26.
Come and see Jesus like never before. Come and live out your faith the way He desires us to. We will leave the church at 5:30 PM and return at 11 PM.
Jan Geist Memorial Service
Please join us for the memorial of Jan Geist this Saturday, October 13 at 10:00 AM. Come and celebrate a life well lived. The service will be held at Tigard Christian Church, 13405 SW Hall Blvd.
2. SOMETHING FOR YOUR HEART
Then the disciple whom Jesus loved said to Peter, “It is the Lord!” As soon as Simon Peter heard him say, “It is the Lord,” he wrapped his outer garment around him (for he had taken it off) and jumped into the water. ( John 21:7)
Some people approach a swimming pool by sticking their toes in to check the temperature of the water. They ease into the shallow end and walk, little by little, until they’re waist high. Their arms are up in the air like they’re afraid to get them wet. Others approach a pool by running full speed along the diving board, leaping into the air, yelling, “Cannnnnonballllllllllllllll” as they splash with full force into the deep end. Jesus calls us to do a cannonball. Easing in and testing the waters shows a lack of faith. A life with Jesus requires a full-out leap. Total abandonment. He doesn’t want us to stand on the side and say, “It looks cold,” or “It’s too deep.” When we jump in with total abandon we can appreciate the deep love Jesus has for us when we come up for air.
OZ (Oswald Chambers) says: Have you deliberately committed your will to Jesus Christ? It is a transaction of will, not of emotion... If you have heard Jesus Christ’s voice on the billows, let your convictions go to the winds, let your consistency go to the winds, but maintain your relationship to Him.
Just Between You And God:
Ask God, not for courage to jump, but for the ability to give up what would hold you back. Don’t dwell on what others might think. Don’t decide it’s too cold before you jump.
