Stone's Hill Community Church
We’re sojourners here - at home, but not at home. We have a high view of life, and sex, and marriage. We’re honest in our dealings with others. We don’t perform libations to some pagan god or cult, but we love those who do. We endure insults and rudeness. We’re generous with what we have. We care for sick people regardless of their race. Christ is Lord. We are Christians and we'll be unpacking what all of this means in this new series - SENT. Welcome to Stones Hill Community Church and Online Notes!
Welcome!
We welcome you to Stone's Hill today!
A typical Stone's Hill service has music (feel free to sing out); some announcements (things that are upcoming that you can be a part of); a message out of the Bible (God speaks to us through his Word); and an opportunity for you to respond to the message (either immediately in the case of a decision that needs to be made OR in the future as you live out the message in your life.)
So relax and enjoy your morning! We're so glad you are here!
Acts 18:1-11 NIV
Sent
“Lord, I can’t do this anymore.” That's how Paul felt in Acts 18. He faced several challenges. We'll note those challenges today.
But allow me to encourage: Do what you are called to do. Not everyone will understand. Not everyone will approve. Not everyone will applaud. Not everyone will affirm. Not everyone will celebrate. Not everyone will support. Not everyone will stay. Not everyone will encourage. Do what you are called to do. That's what Paul did and so can you.
I have a Three-fold purpose for the message today:
- to encourage you as you face life-challenges;
- to alert you as you face a dangerous new worldview (I'll elaborate more);
- to invite you to be a disciple of Jesus.
Welcome!
