Bearing fruit and growing ...

Hear the word of God:

“We always thank God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, when we pray for you, because we have heard of your faith in Christ Jesus and of the love you have for all the saints—the faith and love that spring from the hope that is stored up for you in heaven and that you have already heard about in the word of truth, the gospel that has come to you. All over the world this gospel is bearing fruit and growing, just as it has been doing among you since the day you heard it and understood God’s grace in all its truth.”
Colossians 1:3-6

Our faith is growing and our love is growing for each other. Can you feel that as we worship together, pray together, and serve together? We are going with our boys this weekend to LTC. This is a time to help them understand how to be a leader in God’s Kingdom. Every practice, every time of worship, and every time of service is a time where they watch us and whether we realize it or not, they begin to imitate us. Our own children are like this and our boys are like this. We will be looking at some of your thoughts over the next few days, as we finish up this project, but I just wanted to remind us all that what is in our hearts and how we act on that will overflow out into the lives of all we know and all we meet. We should be praying for each other as we try to shine our light to this world, beginning with our boys.

You are all in my prayers!

Jason
