Grace Series Starts

This past Sunday was a great start to Stonecreek's new series, "Grace." Hopefully you picked up the Grace Study Guide for you in your chair. All of our Connection Groups, adults and students are using this guide over the next five weeks to explore and talk about God's grace, how His grace applies to our life and how we extend grace to others. Debby and my couples' group met Sunday night, and I enjoyed the different perspectives on God's pursuit of the lost.

As a family we plan to use the Table Talk question on page 11 to talk about grace. Be sure to bring your study guides with you this Sunday as I continue with week two on the fairness of God's grace.

Your Place

Simply Summer

Invite a friend to join you at Stonecreek this Sunday, July 13, 10:30 a.m., for week two in our Simply Summer series. Ken Murphy will be interviewing Dr. Shawn Stoever of WinShape Marriage on maximizing our relationships. No matter the health of your relationships, this Sunday will help take them to the next level.

Remember Fun Size

Sometimes, we feel like we have blessings like this:

We view them as small and insignificant. But as we learned Sunday, these aren't small, but "Fun Size." The next time you feel sorry for yourself because of what you have, remember, God gives fun size blessings to make them into:

Silhouette

You may have enjoyed the acoustic tune during the offering during the launch of our Silhouette series this week. This was Jeff Delbridge, a volunteer in our tech area. Also, Jeff’s wife was recently baptized at Stonecreek. He’s going to be singing most weeks during the series. He has written all of these tunes, and they fit great with our series.

I am pumped at the way God is bringing talent into our church to be used for life change. We have such a cool environment with exceptional talent, and it’s great to see more and more people involved. A big shout out to Matt Brogden and Mark Brown for the tone they are setting in worship. Worship is the most important thing we do as Christ-followers, and we want to always be very intentional about what we do.

You don’t want to miss the next 4 weeks of this relationship series. Our prayer is that God can use it in your current and future relationships!
