TAKE AWAY FROM SUNDAY’S MESSAGE: It is so very important that followers of Christ rise to live a life worthy of the calling we have received. My encouragement is this; shake off, as often as necessary, the routines or passive attitudes toward daily living and approach our relationships, family life, vocational efforts, dreams or otherwise with our God-given creative capacities. Let hope and faith rise in our hearts and create with our Creator. – Derek Brown

A song is meant to be sung. A life is meant to be lived. – Benji Cowart

I’m writing my best songs when fear is nowhere in the room. I’m living my best life when fear is nowhere in the room. – Seth Mosley

FEAR – False Evidence Appearing Real. – Keith Mohr

Just being a good listener makes me a better songwriter. Just being a good listener make me a better ______________. – Matt Armstrong

How can we live better days?

Face the events and circumstances of this day. Jesus said – “don’t worry about tomorrow for tomorrow will worry about itself, today has enough trouble of its own.”

“Then God said; “Let us make man in our image, after our likeness.” – Genesis 1:26

Because God made us in his image we have the capacity to imagine, influence or impact our environment, relationship, home, work, etc.

4 THINGS TO CONSIDER FOR LIVING BETTER DAYS

What is my context?

We each exist and live in a specific context every day – within this context are the things the Lord desires you and me to deal with and steward faithfully.

Find a Strong Idea: – A Strong idea for a song. – A strong idea for time with your wife. – A strong idea for time with family. – A strong idea for your work.

We can each influence things by using your God-given creativity to imagine what could be. We can create or develop, with just a little thought, ideas that benefit our daily lives. It just takes a little effort. It is our tendency to stand by and just take whatever comes our way. Rise up church and influence your environment today.

Invite community We must invite others into our world, our thoughts, in order to experience the exponential strength of the body of Christ. Life is best lived in community.

Co-write There is an author, God the Holy Spirit, who is waiting for us to invite Him to co-write with us. He is ready and willing to help us write the story of our lives or even the story of one day.

You make known to me the path of life; In Your presence there is fullness of joy; At Your right hand are pleasures forevermore. – Psalm 16:11

LIBRARY: The library is completely cataloged on the computer. This means that you can find any book or bible study by searching the library computer which is located to the right of the fireplace. You can search by author, title or subject and the results will tell you where to find the book. We have some excellent books, like The Heavenly Man, by Chinese author Brother Yun. His story of persecution for sharing the Gospel in China is amazing, and he is much like the “Whack a Mole” game, popping back up again to share Jesus.
