“O LORD, Thou Knowest my great unfitness for service, my present deadness, my inability to do anything for thy glory, my distressing coldness of heart. I am at a loss to know what thou would have me do. Return again with showers of converting grace to a poor gospel-abusing sinner.” pg 99

“I deserve that thy kingdom be taken away from me. Lord, I confess my sin with feeling, lamentation , a broken heart, a contrite spirit, self-abhorrence, self-condemnation,self-despair. Give me relief by Jesus my hope.” pg 190

I am really excited for July 24th and the start of our Jonah series. I have had a chance to preach through a portion of Jonah in the past and have been challenged and blessed by it. This short book is packed with great teaching that will encourage, challenge and convict us all.

Jonah is a great book and I look forward to digging into it with you guys over the next couple of months. Jonah is many times linked with a fish and the major focus is on this small portion of the message. We will see that Jonah is more about “Revealing God’s Heart and Ours”, which is the title for this series. Click on this link and you will find the books I have been using for this series, the Jonah promo video (done by our very own video team), a schedule of the sermons for the next two months, and other great things.

This past weekend we talked a little about Calling and where God is leading us. Here are the things I talked about for us to
Understand our Calling – We need to see that every single one of us has a calling on our life.
These are just a few ways to help us discern the call God has on our life. What are some others?
We talked about not wasting our life this past weekend. Here are a couple links to content that may help you not waste your life.
| This is a great way to be in the word and put your thoughts down as you read. You can use this to make notes to remind yourself of the greatness of Christ in the whole Bible.
| You can use this to keep your thoughts, ideas and tasks. Journaling helps you see what is dear to you and your life.
(Book)| This is a great read for anyone looking to not waste their life. Find it here. Also, you can check out our Don’t Waste Your Summer page and grab a free copy of Don’t Waste Your Life, by John Piper.
Hope some of these will be helpful for you as you strive to live your life to the glory and fame of Jesus!

Here is a quote that I used this past weekend at Atmosphere Park Ave. I was preaching on The Kingdom and our lives.
“For the lusts of the flesh hold us entangled, when in our minds we dwell in the world, and think not that heaven is our country; but when we pass as strangers through this life, we are not in bondage to the flesh.”
Calvins Commentaries (22 Volume Set) – 1 Peter 2.11 (page 78)
What a great plea from Calvin to live not of this world, but to live of the world to come. May our lives daily seek to live in The Kingdom of God here and now!
