thequest family,


Sorry I didn't get an email out to everyone last week...it was a zany week with the fourth and time away with family. It is hard to believe that was all a week ago.

The summer is clicking by. With that I wanted to revisit our 3 month challenge:

Commit to Connect to >>

>>Jesus >> Life Transformation Group
I am the vine; you are the branches. Those who remain in me, and I in them, will produce much fruit. For apart from me you can do nothing. John 15:5

>>Are you growing in your connection to Jesus?


>>World >> Prayer & Share with 3 people
But if you remain in me and my words remain in you, you may ask for anything you want, and it will be granted! John 15:8

>>Are you growing in your connection to those who don't know Jesus?


>>Community >> House Church
This is my commandment: Love each other in the same way I have loved you. John 15:12

>>Are you growing in your connection to one another?


>>Friends >> thequest
There is no greater love than to lay down one's life for one's friends. You are my friends if you do what I command. I no longer call you slaves, because a master doesn't confide in his slaves. Now you are my friends, since I have told you everything the Father told me. You didn't choose me. I chose you. I appointed you to go and produce lasting fruit, so that the Father will give you whatever you ask for, using my name. This is my command: Love each other. John 15:13-17

>>Are you growing in your connection to thequest?


I'll admit to not fulfilling some of these challenges myself. I am re-committing myself to these things. These were placed in front of us...and yet if we aren't reminded we forget. I forget. So we have a few weeks left...let's see what God does.

Here's one thing that God is doing: I am excited about a good kick-off to a new Family House Church with 5 families involved. I'm looking forward to our series covering the miracles of Jesus in John. That's a great connection to thequest and to one another.

Also I'm trusting that our Assembly this Sunday night will be a helpful spurring on toward these areas. Check out the details below because we have some special guests coming for our special time.

I'm praying for you!

Press on,
Mike
