Be like Jesus – Eat with someone

“The Son of Man has come eating and drinking” Luke 7:34a

While not the main point of the verse, the fact is Jesus connected with people over food.  We should do the same.  The challenge is simple.  Before this time next week, take someone to a meal or coffee or better yet have them in your home.

invite someone from work, someone here (or who hasn’t been here in a while) or someone you don’t know

Bananas distributed as a reminder to share food.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

Hopefully today you’ve been exposed to a new workout.  The goal was to get us out of our comfort zone a little.

Think about your daily routine a little. Maybe you come here, eat, run to the office, do some sort of hobby or kid activity, etc.

What if your best laid plans and goals were thrown off for some reason….there are terrible ways that can happen like losing your job or an accident, but there are also positive ways like promotions, job opportunities, unexpected kids

The character of a person…and in this case a MAN… is how you react in those situations.  I don’t want a show of hands, but if you cringed or had a negative reflection of how you would probably react…then you need to remember that gods in control. You should feel comfort in Him and fall back on your values and trusts that you are in good hands.

Sometimes He like to take us out of our comfort zones and frankly laugh at them.  He’s laughed at mine twice over the past year…

Matthew 5:3 “Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.”
MOLESKIN:
This Scripture tells us that when we acknowledge our spiritual bankruptcy, this is when God can use us the most. Counter to the culture which is all about you, God gives us a different path. Let us focus on God and see how He, in turn, allows us to see His work and His Kingdom rule in our lives

  7. 17 When Pharaoh let the people go, God did not lead them by way of the land of the Philistines, although that was near. For God said, “Lest the people change their minds when they see war and return to Egypt.” 18 But God led the people around by the way of the wilderness toward the Red Sea. And the people of Israel went up out of the land of Egypt equipped for battle.
    1. Run around ORAU campus back to the flag

MARY:
Skip the length of the parking lot.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Moses was flawed but was used by God for good. Unlike most stories (Biblical, heroic, fairy tale, etc), we see most of Moses’s life and it doesn’t end with “happily ever after.”  It ends with his death in failure after a life of great achievement.
