Worship Excerpt from the Sermon Journal, Monday, August 13, 2018 Written by Pastor Tom Harrison I Belong to Teaching and Fellowship The Day of Pentecost was the birthday of the church (Acts 2). The biblical Greek word for church is ecclesia and it means the called-out ones. We will look at what happened after Pentecost and how the called-out ones lived. They experienced opposition from outside the fellowship and from within it (Ananias and Saphira). Notice the behavior of the early Christians. This was not easy. It was a major commitment. As we saw in our study on extreme ownership, they exercised, complete engagement with the task. Something to Think About: What level of commitment am I making How devoted am I to the teaching, fellowship, breaking of bread and prayers What can I do to better praise, glorify and honor God How can I be a person who cares for others These should not be mutually exclusive. It is not either/or but both/and. Daily scripture readings for the upcoming week August 20: Romans 12:9-13 August 21: Leviticus 19:33-34; Isaiah 58:6-12 August 22: Matthew 25:31-46 August 23: Hebrews 13:1-3 August 24: Acts 16:25-34 August 25: 1 Peter 4:7-11 Next week: Life s Biggest Questions: Where Do I Belong The refurbishment is getting closer to completion! New furnishings were ordered in May and should be arriving soon. With the help of complimentary design services from our neighbor, Mathis Brothers Furniture, we will have a beautiful selection of new chairs, sofas and tables for the common areas of the building. The new items will coordinate with and enhance our updated branding and word art. The existing furnishings will be repurposed in different ministry areas around campus and the remainder will be gifted to Pastor Gloria s church, First United Methodist in Wagoner. We call this a win/win/win!
