The Story of Everything - The Never Ending Story
In the final installment of the Story of Everything, we talk about how the story ends. God promises in Revelation that he is making all things new. We believe this re-creation of all things is made possible through Jesus Christ.

I Love to Tell the Story...of how Jesus' glory is for gladness
I live in the real world and my faith must also. The plastic faith of Jesus trinkets and bad Christian movies makes me angry. Making Jesus to serve our interest, as we talked about last week, does not come anywhere near to the life that I actually live. I don't know if you've noticed, but actual relationships don't fit into 5 steps – or 40 love dares, whatever is the fad today. It just doesn't work that way and Jesus never works that way. Jesus is intent on showing us that glory at all costs. Because He loves me he wants me to believe through seeing a display of glory. He is glad when suffering allows me to believe. Lazarus is an example of God's nearness and very particular governance of the worst we can imagine in this world. He loves us so much He will providentially guides us into and through suffering so that we might see His glory and believe – this will make both him and us glad.

His story...my story...
"Mission is not primarily an activity of the church but an attribute of God. God is a missionary God. It is not the church that has a mission of salvation to fulfill in the world; it is the mission of the Son and the Spirit through the Father that includes the church."(Source: Wikipedia) Evangelism is a key issue that we need to talk about as individuals and as a church family. When you conisder the pendulum of "preaching the story" vs. "living the story", where do you think most of us fall? Key Passage: 1 Corinthians1:21

Galatians 1.11-24: Disciple - be one, make one
The gospel is literally a joyful message. Paul encounters this joyful message on the road to Damascus. God called Him and revealed Jesus to His heart. In a moment the mystery of the cross and the empty tomb of Jesus was unveiled to Paul. Paul never recovered from that. He was changed. He was now a disciple. He was commissioned to preach, to make disciples. We are all called and commissioned as Paul was. Sure it looks different on how we have the Son revealed to us, but the story line is the same. We are chosen and called as the Son of God is revealed to our heart. God also calls us to a particular service for the equipping of saints for the work of service to the building up of the body of Christ. We are all called to be a disciple and to make disciples.
