Locations & Times

Friday 10:00 PM
You may have lost your passion if:
1. You love your stuff more than God
Luke 16:14, Matt. 6:24, 33, 22:37, Ex. 20:1-3
2. You ridicule God’s correction
Luke 16:14, Heb. 4:12, 12:11, Prov. 12:1, 15:32, 2 Tim. 3:16
3. You have to justify your actions to others
Luke 16:15, 2 Cor. 10:12, Gal. 1:10, Phil. 2:3, 2 Tim. 2:15
4. You disregard God’s Word
Luke 16:16-18, 2 Tim. 3:16-17, Heb. 4:12, Matt. 4:4
1. Do you show any of the signs of losing your passion for Christ that the Pharisees showed? Which ones?
2. Is your tendency to take away from God’s Word or to add to it? Why? How can you prevent doing that in the future?
3. After hearing and learning about Luke chapter 16 for the past few weeks, rate your passion for your faith. Why did you rate it like that? What needs to improve? Who can keep you accountable to that?

Open Sorting Hour at the Foster Closet
Want to help out at the foster closet but can’t commit to helping regularly? That’s ok! Every Friday from 12:30-1:30 is an open sorting hour. If you’d like to help during the open sorting hour, please text Tammi Fisher at (216) 526-9974.
Groups
We believe that our faith grows best when we surround ourselves with other believers. That’s why we encourage everyone to be a part of one of our groups, where we can intentionally share our lives with one another. There is a Sunday School group meeting on Sunday mornings before Service at 9:30. Our small groups are also in the process of starting for the fall. If you would like to be a part of one, please reach out to Pastor Josh.
Church Family Meeting
Every year we have a meeting to discuss the inner workings of the church and ratify next year’s budget. This year’s meeting will be today, directly after service and should only last about 10-15 minutes. Everyone is encouraged to attend.
Christmas Candlelight Service
Mark your calendar! On Dec. 23rd we will be holding a Christmas Candlelight Service at 6pm. This will be a great event to invite friends to.
