Garbage In Garbage Out
We must feast on those things that nourish our souls rather than partake of only spiritual garbage. We are called to reach out to those whom we would rather not associate with. James has a message for us today.

Living a Life of Gospel Intentionality
Kaleo SDSU is taking a couple weeks to explore what it means and what it practically looks like to be intentional with the gospel through all of life. We will be investigating the book of Mark for insight into how Jesus brought the gospel to every situation and trained his disciples to do the same. We are called not to separate our life into religious, pagan, hobby, service, parenting, work and gospel intentionality but is instead a life that sees the gospel as the motivation and center of all we do.

A Vision For Serving Our God
Distracting Ourselves with Service: A Call to Know the God We Are Serving If you look at Luke 10:40, there is a remarkable statement. Luke says that Martha was distracted by much service. Of course the service he was talking about was her serving Jesus. Does this shock you? Did you know that serving God could actually be a distraction, not a good thing? Most of us feel like serving God is always a good thing don't we? But then we sometimes wonder why serving God makes us so anxious, self-righteous, or tired. Today I want to talk about when service becomes a distraction and how we can learn to serve God in a way that encourages us and draws us toward him, instead of distracting us from him and leaving us feeling frustrated, tired and confused.

The Church Has Left The Building
In order for the church to be the light of the world, as Jesus said, it must be in the world penetrating the darkness with the light of God’s love and the gospel. This is part of what it means to be missional – having gospel intentionality as we engage with people and with culture.

One Focus
How do we get our focus back and sustain it? One way is by becoming an active contributor to God’s Kingdom. We follow King Jesus and pour out our lives like Him. Jesus was a giver. He was committed to making a complete contribution of all that he had and all that he was. We can make becoming like Him our “One Thing.” In the book of Matthew, the mother of James and John asked Jesus for seats of authority for her sons on either side of Jesus. Jesus told her and all the disciples that following Him was not a call to be great in the way the world sees things. He said that the greatness they were called to was called servanthood. He told them to follow His example of service by being willing to contribute all that they had in serving God.

A Vision for the Order of Service at Kaleo El Cajon
Have you ever gone to a church service and wondered why it flowed the way it did? As we begin our services in El Cajon, we want to take some time and explain exactly why we are doing what we are doing. We will answer questions like: "Why do we take communion every week? Why do we preach the way we do? What is the purpose of the benediction? Why do we take an offering? Why do we sing the kind of songs we sing?" and many similar questions.
