Do Good: Creation
God has charged us with caring for and cultivating the earth. Our relationship to God's creation should not be one of misuse but one of good stewardship and responsible consideration. Simple things we do every day can help reduce the negative impact our lives have on the earth. Pastor Jason admonishes us to try a few simple steps as a starting place to DO GOOD to creation: recycle rather than throw things away, replace incandescent light bulbs with compact fluorescent light bulbs, and reduce our speed on the road from 75 to 65 mph.

Victory - Our Part to Play
God told the Israelites that He was going to lead them out of bondage, to the land He had promised to give to their ancestors. When the people got there, all but Joshua and Caleb refused to believe that the Lord could do it. They didn’t want to have to work for it. They thought their labor was over now that they had left Egypt. They just wanted God to give it to them. God provides victory for us, but we have to possess it. There will be battles, some that The Lord fights for us, some that we must fight for ourselves, in the name of the Lord. People today are just like the Israelites back then were. They just want someone to do it all for them. They want someone to pray for them, to work a miracle for them. They don’t want to have to do anything themselves. Our victory, in all the promises of God, is tied to our actions, the actions of faith that He tells us to do.

Why Worry?
Will I trust my heavenly Father to take care of me? OR will I take matters into my own hands? Balancing my responsibility to work hard, give generously, save regularly, and spend wisely with an absolute conï¬dence that God is my provider is a difficult balance for all of us to maintain. It is so easy to begin to believe that we have to look after ourselves, and to become consumed with "having enough." Jesus challenges us to put our trust in Him alone and to give up the useless habit of worry…easy to say ... hard to live out! Key Passage: Matthew 6:19-34

Our Commission
Jesus left us with a responsibility to spread the good news about Him all over the earth. He is no longer on the earth, now it’s our job. People will never know if we don’t tell them. If we love others as we should, we will not want them to go to hell.
