I know you have good intentions. I do as well. We intend to finish the project in the garage, plan a special night for our spouse, go to the gym, and live more generously. More importantly we plan to take better care of our souls and make more time for us to grow in our faith. Unfortunately, good intentions don’t always lead to intentionality. 

We have been in a series talking about our good intentions. We have good intentions about the life we want to live, we have good intentions about the kind of person we want to be, and yet sometimes our good intentions serve as a substitute for actually being intentional. 

Over the past few weeks we have explored examples in scripture of an intentional life. This Sunday we will finish our series by talking about intentional living. I hope you will make plans to join us!

I also want to give you a sneak peek at our summer series called “ According to Luke.” This summer we will be studying the months before Jesus’ death as he begins walking toward Jerusalem where he would be crucified. He instructs his disciples—both men and women—to follow him. While walking together, Jesus teaches his followers what it means to be his disciples. You won’t want to miss this series as we look at Jesus’ most extensive teaching on discipleship found in scripture.

I am grateful for all of you and pray you have a wonderful summer as we continue to grow in our faith through holiness of heart and life!

Blessings,
