ANNOUNCEMENTS:

COT: Luke 9: 23-24 “And he said to all, “If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me. For whoever would save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will save it.” – the American dream is all about self but the Bible teaches us the opposite which goes against the grain of what we’ve been taught most of our lives. Most of us find it difficult to go against what has been ingrained into us and instead turn that focus on Christ and others rather than our own selfish ambitions, but the Word is clear we must lose our lives to save them.

ANNOUNCEMENTS:

COT: Isolation vs Community
Peter was alone when he denied Jesus. I noticed when reading through Acts every time “filled with the Spirit” was mentioned they were in a group with a clear trial or purpose. Satan love’s isolation and the opposite is true of the Holy Spirit. We have to be aware and not be afraid of being vulnerable and recognize the importance of community and fellowship. Also, it is possible to be around others and still be isolated internally.

ANNOUNCEMENTS: Prayers for Hooties Friend’s family.

COT: Everyone is going to have super tough times in their lives at some point due to deaths of loved ones, illness, or other catastrophe. Sometimes it’s all we can do just to get up and put one foot in front of the other. Just keep doing that and eventually things will get better. Just try to hold on to hope.
