October 11-12, 2008 This week's "Reflection" by Gary Keith, Pastor of Teaching & Worship
This weekend ended
our series on Habakkuk. (If you missed the service you can watch it online.) How
did Habakkuk turn his questions for God into confidence in God? Habakkuk
chapter 3 revealed three things he did that we can do this week to help with our
difficult situations in life. He prayed, but just not the typical prayer asking
God for things. He pondered God, which lead him to trust God more fully. He also
praised God in the midst of his difficult life situations.
What do you think
about these three? Do they seem like the same old things you've heard before?
How is Habakkuk's approach different from the usual? Do you think if you do
these that you will experience a deeper relationship with God? Send me a note,
I'd love to hear how this message has affected your life.
Finally, I
appreciated Habakkuk's perspective on prayer – I want to try that this week. I
want to stop and ponder God more this week. In fact, I'm setting some special
time aside to do just that. And Lord help me to praise You in the middle of
tough times. God Bless you this week as you grow deeper with
God.

It’s a day when we intentionally invite our neighbors to come and have a fun time at our church. It’s a day when the stereotypes (usually not flattering) that people have of Christians can be changed.
But for all this to happen we need to come together ... read more.
