The Life We Can Receive

Don't forget:  we are highlighting our India Mission trip this Sunday at Bellwether with a video on the trip and an Indian lunch afterwards at Fondren.  We hope you can be there to learn about this new mission and pray about being part of it!  

As for our message Sunday, how do you think one becomes a missionary?  How does a regular person go from a life of constant sin, to knowing Christ, and then being fully changed to GO into all the world for Him?  
I don't think it's random.  I don't think it only happens for those who are pastors or go to seminary.  I fully believe ALL of us are called to be missionaries and to GO.  It comes with being a follower of Christ.  Many simply don't because they believe it's not for them or they are not equipped.  We want to help everyone at Bellwether and beyond to go - and it doesn't have to be halfway around the world.  It can be to our neighbors, our friends who are searching, our families in trouble, and yes to missions around the world.  

Sunday, we will close the series "Alpha...in the beginning."  We've been looking at Genesis 1-3 at basic truths we easily miss over in these first chapters of the Bible.  Within these chapters, I believe we can find complete meaning and purpose in our lives.  We closed last week with "Our Fall" into sin and how Christ can lead us out of our personal pits and hells.  We will pick up this Sunday into how our the Christian life, the life of following Christ, is not simply about being saved out of hell, but much more.  It is about receiving a new life, a new way of looking at the world, a world we may have never seen before, a world of the Holy Spirit.  

We will stay in Genesis Chapter 3 and also look at passages in Romans 5 & 8.  We hope you have a great weekend and can be with us for Worship together on Sunday morning.   May God bless you!
