Paul Jon The Keatings are moving to Chicago so Stephen can go to theological school Their last week is July 8th Going to preach tonight on the 23rd Psalm Gave you the card and I’d like you to pray through it this week If God says something to you, we’d like you to share it with me Something hidden in our hearts that is really foundational We’ve been dealing with issues of the heart With how God has been making us Matthew 3 Matthew was Jewish which affects how he delivers his gospel The stories Matthew tells these stories, think of what he might be referencing Matthew 3:13-17 ESV Then Jesus came from Galilee to the Jordan to John, to be baptized by him. John would have prevented him, saying, “I need to be baptized by you, and do you come to me?” But Jesus answered him, “Let it be … Continue reading →

Paul So I came here tonight with a list of songs to do, but then I started playing them and it felt weirdo until I got to the one hymn I had on the list So then I set it as “no song under 50 years old” night Charlie Matt and I have both participated with VBS previously This year we are fully signed up with kids We still need some more volunteers (10 more) Even a one day volunteership would be a blessing Wednesday the 11th especially Matt I volunteered and then got asked to be in the skits – I was Chef Pierre So then I could have chilled or do what Katie wanted and wander around in character The kids loved it so much that when I went on break, the kids threw a fit when I wasn’t there to give them snack and put on paper … Continue reading →

Paul Stephen Agora, SBA May 17th the Bredows are hosting Paul As I was getting the music together this week, I kept being led to sing about the cross Is it a real bummer if I sing about the cross today? My mother taught me about Jesus Last week was supposed to be communion and we had communion outside, the real deal, by sharing a meal together / Jon Luke 14:15-24 Brennan Manning’s memoirs The book begins with a poem Professional at screwing up All Is Grace was written in a certain frame of mind-that of a ragamuffin. This book is by the one who thought he’d be father along by now, but he’s not. It is by the inmate who promised the parole board he’d be good, but he wasn’t. It is by the dim-eyed who showed the path to others but kept losing his way. It is by … Continue reading →

Paul Stephen potluck in 2 weeks Sharing one thing on my mind I’ve been careless this week with words and I’m reading this for me and I don’t know if these 2 verses have ever been linked together John 15 no longer do I call you servants Romans 15:7 therefore show grace and peace and hospitality One of the hardest things to do is just be friendly to people around you Paul Jon Here’s Jeami, she’s going to India next week Jeami I’ve had India on my heart for a long time With Uganda in good hands, prayer led us to know that now was the time So I joined the rotary club of El Segundo and they asked me to represent them in Bangkok so they’re paying my way which is a huge deli FE Jon Another week, another parable Jesus often responded to deep questions with stories Have … Continue reading →
