“All our obedience, every resolve to do good, and every work of faith is ‘by his power’ and so that the Lord Jesus would be glorified because of the grace he gives. Yes, we must pursue obedience, but that obedience must always be cruciform, formed by Christ’s cross. We must seek to obey because of the cross, find the grace to obey because of the cross, and live free from condemnation whether we succeed or fail in the light of the cross. The cross must be our only story, as Paul boldly proclaimed: ‘For I decided to know nothing among you except Jesus Christ and him crucified’ (1 Cor. 2:2).” ~ Elyse Fitzpatrick & Dennis Johnson

Sunday Preview
- Builders ABF - Mikel Berger is continuing to look at idolatry, and how it can manifest itself in our "modern" lives. Make sure to check out the Builders Blog later this weekend to know how best to prepare for Sunday's topic.
- Corporate Worship - Pastor Whipple will be preaching from Philippians 4:2-9, looking specifically at the grounds of our rejoicing: the Lord is at hand. Come and be encouraged and challenged in light of that glorious truth.

If you can help, here is the info:
- WHERE: 1901 Union Street
- WHAT TIME: meet downstairs in the lobby at 1:55 PM.
Thanks in advance!
Nolan's Cheddar
This looks like some sort of commercial for Nolan's Cheddar. I don't like cheese, but it made me want to purchase some. Kind of cheesy (sorry), but made me laugh. Thus, it should make you laugh as well.
How to Build a god
In light of Mikel's series on idolatry, I found
this testimony to be instructive and encouraging.
