Gambling With Jesus?  Sunday, June 22

Dear RiverTown Family,

As many of you know I had surgery on my foot a few weeks ago and have been kept from speaking for the last two Sundays.  Thank you so much for your prayers.  Royce and Matt both did incredible jobs introducing our Summer Message Series – His Hands And Feet!

You can imagine how impassioned I am to open God’s word this Sunday with you!  In Fact, this particular message has been on my mind for a long time and is coming up at just the perfect time.  It’s called – THE GREAT GAMBLE!

Jesus is NOT a gamble!  But, without a doubt, at crucial points in following Him there are moments when taking the next step of faith feels like risking the hard earned treasure of our lives on the chance that faith becomes sight!

When it comes to actually becoming a daily servant of Jesus according to His plan to sacrifice our own will and way of doing things, then the risk really becomes real!

This Sunday, we’ll see how Jesus chose the towel and basin of service to wash His followers’ feet and invited them to do the same.

This is also the last Sunday morning to sign up for our 2014 VBS LIVING INSIDE OUT and our huge yearly community missions day THE BIG SERVE next Saturday – June 28th.   This year we are also introducing our first adult VBS parents forum.  I’m really looking forward to it!

My prayer for all of us is that this Summer we will become big hearted servants who are willing to “take up the towel” and serve as Jesus did.

With prayers for a summer souls being served in Jesus Name!

Pastor David
