This week we will start our summer sermon series on godly character traits, as found in Colossians 3:12-14.  “As God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourself with compassion…”

Every time we treat others with compassion and kindness, we reflect Him a little better and our joy deepens. When we choose to deal with people with humility, gentleness and patience, others get a glimpse of Jesus. It is Christ and Christ alone who can transform lives, but we can be the “set-up” people, making hearts tender and open to hearing the Gospel.

I’m looking forward to a summer of growth and fruitfulness as we learn to “get dressed” God’s way!

Songs we’re singing this week:

9:00 a.m. — “The Lion and the Lamb”, “Nothing But the Blood”, “Amazing Grace”, “Praise to the Lord, the Almighty”
