1 Thanks For Coming. Now, Get Out. Get out of your comfort zone, that is. Shake some hands. Meet some people. In church, as in life, you only get out what you put in. So we hope you ll join in the worship and experience God with us. And we hope you ll come back, again and again, to be a part of the Asbury family. We invite you to follow Jesus with us, find your place and get plugged in. For more information on all things Asbury, drop by the Guest Services Desk in the lobby after service.

3 Announcements Congregational Gathering to discuss Asbury Satellite July 19, 6 pm, CLC Please join us on Wednesday, July 19, to learn more about the Asbury satellite church plant. We will host Jim Ozier, a newly retired UMC pastor and expert in helping churches start new congregations. He successfully launched three satellite church plants from his church in north Texas and is a national expert in helping churches just like us. He will educate us on the process and provide coaching to learn best practices for what promises to be a growing experience in the life of our church. Jim will also show how multiplying our faith with a new congregation is one of the most effective ways to reach new people for Christ and reinvigorate an existing church. Join us for dessert and coffee as we learn more. Child care provided for ages 6 weeks to 5th grade. KIDS NIGHT OUT July 21 We know parents and guardians need intentional connection time and a break! So, one Friday night a month, we have a 15-minute, guided, intentional, family connection time (a parent or guardian must attend this with their child/ren) and then 2+ hours of free, fun and themed child care activities for your kids. The next one is July 21, 5:30-8 pm. To register, asburykids@asburytulsa.org with your kids names and ages at least three days before the event.

4 Excerpt from the Sermon Journal, Monday, July 10, 2017 Written by Pastor Tom Harrison John Wesley, the founder of Methodism, was emphatic: I am a man of one book. This 18th century Englishman was extremely wellread, but the Bible was the authority for his life. Something or someone will be the authority for us, too. The kingdom of self is our default. The kingdom of God dethrones our natural self-centeredness to create a completely different worldview than our own limited biases. Just as children must be instructed that mine! isn t going to cut it in life, so followers of Jesus must learn a new path. THE authority of our lives must shift from ME to God. We don t worship the Bible, but this is the book which shows us WHY we worship, WHO we worship and HOW to live. Notes
