New Date for Renewal Sunday

>>  BLOG                                                       Monday, January 25, 2016                                                   Pastor Jeff Lampl New Date for Renewal Sunday January 31, 2016 January has been a month for each of us to renew our commitment to the practices of the key Spiritual Disciplines of the Christian Faith.  A Spiritual Discipline is something that you do which positions you so that God can do in and through you what you cannot do on your own.    That's HUGE, "through the disciplines God can and will do in and through us what we cannot do on our own."   Here are a "big four". Renew your membership:  Commit to being a part of the CLC family.   Doing so is counter-cultural.  Doing so says "I'm in" with God, with Jesus Christ, with God's people.   I will commit to growing up in my faith with this particular family of God in this particular place at this particular time in my life. Renew your calling to serve others : Take or retake the  spiritual gifts inventory and attend the final Connect Class this Wednesday, January 27 in the second floor Auditorium.   The transition from receiver to giver is the most fundamental behavioral transition in the Christian Life. Renew your Baptism:   This Sunday each of us will have the opportunity to remember God's faithfulness to each of us and to renew our reliance on and commitment to Jesus Christ as leader of our lives and forgiver of our sins.  Prepare for this by reading Romans 6:1-14, Galatians 3:26-29, Colossians 2:11-15, Ephesians 1:13,14 .  Renew your recognition that you and everything you have belongs to God which means you and I must renew our commitment to the discipline of stewardship of our money.   We must manage our income and distribution of it  as God's Word teaches us.   Attend the Financial Stewardship miniseries beginning Sunday and which are being offered Sundays, Wednesdays and Saturdays so that you will be able to attend all four sessions based on your schedule. Are you confident in your financial decisions? Do you have a solid financial plan for your life? How are your attitudes and behaviors towards money? Do you desire financial peace?
