February 13th - Sunday followup

Hi Everyone,

These are the passages that Steve encouraged us to read and think on throughout the week.

Phil 4:8
And now, dear brothers and sisters, let me say one more thing as I close this letter. Fix your thoughts on what is true and honorable and right. Think about things that are pure and lovely and admirable. Think about things that are excellent and worthy of praise.

Col 3:1-4 (All of Chapter 3 was referenced)
Since you have been raised to new life with Christ, set your sights on the realities of heaven, where Christ sits at God's right hand in the place of honor and power. Let heaven fill your thoughts. Do not think only about things down here on earth. For you died when Christ died, and your real life is hidden with Christ in God. And when Christ, who is your real life, is revealed to the whole world, you will share in all his glory.

I will be praying that each of us has the humility and strength to consider these things in our own lives. I know that it feels vulnerable to talk about yourself in terms of the intimacy of your individual walk with Christ, but I want to encourage anyone out there who feels comfortable to post a personal experience in regard to making these verses a reality in terms of your relationship with Jesus. It can be a praise to the Lord to encourage others or a request for prayer in a specific area keeping this truth from becoming a reality in your life. Either way feel free to step up and share.

I will be praying for all of you this week.

Sarah
