Reach the World How can I help support the local and global ministry partners of ECC? You can pray for their efforts to Reach the World. You can volunteer locally. You can visit and serve the global mission organizations. And you can GIVE. Four times a year, March 23, June 22, September 21 and December 21, Eastridge will collect a special Reach the World offering during the Sunday services. Our goal is to raise $100,000.00 total. If every adult in attendance at both campuses gives $40.00 on each of the dates above, then we will hit our goal and fully support the Missions listed in the Reach the World directory. Visit the Information Center for a RTW Directory. The different giving options for Reach The World offering: 1. Cash and checks: Give during the service today by using the special yellow Reach The World envelope. 2. Give online at eastridgefamily.org/give and select the drop down option called Reach The World. 3. Give with your credit or debit card at the Information Center in the lobby/atrium (only on special offering Sunday). 4. Give via TEXT by sending a message to 678-212-5322 and following the prompts. (Make sure to put the amount followed by the letters RTW. For example, $40 RTW) Thank you so much for your donation toward reaching the world! You are making an investment in eternity. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Matthew 28:19 Then the King will say to those on his right, Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world. For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me. Matthew 25:34-36 But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.

June 22, 2014 You ASKED For it! Can a Christian smoke, drink, and go to R rated movies? Search me, O God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts. 24 See if there is any offensive way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting. Psalm 139:23 24 (ESV) 1. Life as a Christian is not getting to do what we want, but being in to all that God wants. My old self has been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me. So I live in this earthly body by trusting in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me. Galatians 2:20 (NLT) Bottom Line: Trusting In Jesus Leads to Trustworthy Decisions. Three things to consider What does the Bible say about it? What do godly people think about it? What is the wise choice? Look carefully then how you walk, not as unwise but as wise, 16 making the best use of the time, because the days are evil. 17 Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord is. Ephesians 5:15 17 (ESV) Next Step: 1. Submit yourself to God. 2. Seek godly counsel (His Spirit, His Word, His people). 2. Submission leads us to ask not what I do, but what is the thing to do. Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable if anything is excellent or praiseworthy think about such things. Philippians 4:8 (ESV) Monday: Ezekiel 34 Tuesday: Ezekiel 35:1-36:15 Wednesday: Ezekiel 36:16-38 Thursday: Ezekiel 37 Friday: Ezekiel 38 Saturday: Ezekiel 39 Sunday: Ezekiel 40:1-47 Join the conversation and commentary about the daily reading by visiting facebook.com/eastridgecc.
