Table Talk
Last night, we finished our "Not a Fan" series.

Over the last several Sundays, we have been discussing what it means to be a follower of Jesus (taking up our cross daily - Luke 9:23) instead of just a fan (an enthusiastic admirer). We wrapped up this series talking about what it means to be a fully committed follower.

In Luke 9, we are told that a man says to Jesus that he will follow him wherever Jesus may go - no questions asked. Jesus responds that by following him, he will have no physical place to call home; he will have to make sacrifices. Following Jesus is about comfort vs. sacrifice. We must be willing to give up our everyday comforts and get out of our comfort zones in order to be fully committed to Jesus.

Continue the conversation with these questions:
  • What are your biggest commitments?

  • What is your level of commitment to Christ? Are you sacrificing anything?

  • What does it mean to be fully committed to and follow Christ?

Have a great week!

Some Quarantine Fun for a Good Cause
Get "Flocked"
So we've run this article for several weeks now and the good news is, everyone's responding. Currently the "flock" is booked through mid-June and we're so busy, Amazon is shipping us a second flock! If you're still waiting to get in on the fun, it's NOT too late.

If you would like to have the herd land in someone's yard for 3 days please Click Here to contact us. It only cost $25 to have our entire flock of over 30 flamingos fly into someone's yard. All proceeds benefit Concord United Students.

But be warned, we will leave a note which discloses who sent the flock.
