Good News Family & Friends,
Before jumping into all that's going on this upcoming week, I wanted to continue to encourage us all to make it a priority to seek out "gold from God" (as I called it this past Sunday) that is found in spending time with God in prayer and in reading or listening to His Word (the Bible).
Of course, all of God's Word is gold, but the amazing thing is that, when we set aside time to quiet our hearts, invite Jesus to join us, the Holy Spirit to guide us, and the Father to speak to us, we often (though not always) come away with a special, unique experience of God speaking to us though His Word and/or prayer. Then (and here's my challenge), write down the verse of encouragement and share with us, on Sunday morning, some of the gold that God gave you this past week. To model this, here's a verse of encouragement that I wrote down in my iPhone Notes... “Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us (Galatians 3:13)." So, let that verse that God gave me, encourage you! :)
Thank you to Ray for his greatly encouraging message this past Sunday! To access the sermon audio, notes, and slides from this past Sunday and previous weeks, click here.

INSPIRATION
Quotes of the Week
“However far you have gone in the wrong direction, it is never too late to turn around. Turn back to Jesus, receive forgiveness and restore the relationship.For all of us, like Peter, yesterday’s mess can become today’s message. Your test can become your testimony.”
- Nicky Gumbel (The Bible with Nicky and Pippa, Day 115)
