One Thing

It was a loooong Monday with some lengthy, but profitable meetings.

All day I was reminded from Sunday's message that we are ALL God's perfect masterpiece - newly and powerfully created IN Christ Jesus, so that we can live out God's world changing purposes that He has prepared for us to do! (my version of Ephesians 2:10)

What's the One Thing that He has for you in this next season where you can have the greatest Kingdom impact? (see Sunday's message for further explanation :)

Children Around the World

This is awesome . . . Tim & Susan Klaus (Tim is on our Elder Team & they both are active - and awesome - in leading at Oso Creek) got back from Korea late last week with a new baby boy!

They adopted James (on the left with Tim) who is almost exactly a year younger than Paul.

Adoption is such an incredible picture of what God has done for us! All of us who are followers of Jesus, have been adopted.

"In those days you were living apart from Christ. . . You lived in this world without God and without hope. But now you belong to Christ Jesus. Though you once were far away from God, now you have been brought near to him because of the blood of Christ. . . So you should not be like cowering, fearful slaves. You should behave instead like God's very own children, adopted into his family—calling him 'Father, dear Father.'" (Ephesians 2:12-13; Romans 8:15)
