Things you can count on

Football in the fall, kids getting messy when eating ice cream, long lines at the Department of Licensing and free samples at Costco on Saturdays. These are just of few of the things we've learned to count on in life. They may not always be something we like, or find helpful (lines, messy faces) but we know that we can plan on them happening. Anytime we can plan on something or anticipate a result there is incredible security in that.

We've just wrapped up our message series looking at the meaningful contradictions of the beatitudes. If you missed a week or want to hear a message again check out our media page. Starting this Sunday we roll into our new series, Tried & True. This will be our focus through the month of September and then continue during the regular worship service on FUSiON mornings. We will be looking at promises from God that we find in the Bible and what we can anticipate from those promises in our life.

As I reflect on the last series and think about the one ahead, they tie into each other way better than we had even intentionally planned. All of the beatitudes, which are themselves a promise of blessing can radically change our lives when we live them out. I hope that as you think back on the meaningful contradictions we've looked at, you'll see just how much God truly wants to bless each of our lives. How much He desires for us to sense His presence, love and provision.

Moving into the fall our church wide focus will move to our core value of Invite. While you think about and experience God's promises and blessings in your life, ask God to bring people into your life and give you opportunity to Invite them to Silver Creek. My guess is that they too could truly benefit from the Tried & True promises of God that we will be looking into.

I hope you have an fantastic Labor Day Weekend. If you're in town, we will have one service at 11am, please join us.

Take care,
Brent
