The Porters, Faith Promise, and IF!
Dear Stillmeadow Family!
This Sunday, February 6, Jerry and Toni Porter will tell us about their adventures in sharing the faith around the globe. It is a privilege to be a part of a global church family!
Pray about how you can financially join in!
As they come, pray about how to financially support the mission through Faith Promise giving. We encourage you to give above your regularly tithes to the global mission! Come Sunday to hear more!
(Oh yeah, the Porters are still going to preach in our “I Am” Series!)
Today’s reading in John 13, shows Jesus at his fullest, loving his disciples through washing their feet. And when Peter resisted, Jesus said:
“You do not realize now what I am doing,
but later you will understand.”
Following Jesus is the process of moving from “not realizing what God is doing” to “understanding.” And the process is in His timing, not ours.
Peter did not fully understand that the Way of the Messiah was the Way of the Servant. He hadn’t seen the crucifixion yet. But years after the resurrection, most assuredly under the influence of the love he received from the Servant Messiah that day, he wrote: “Love each other deeply, because love covers a multitude of sins. Offer hospitality to one another without grumbling. Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms” (1 Pet 4:8-10).
Let us serve like that, even though we do not fully understand what God is doing.
