Take Home Sheets

In last week’s For the Glory of Christ I provided an overview of several important changes that, Lord willing, will be taking place this fall. This week I want to say a few words about the first of those changes, namely, the addition of the Sunday morning sermon take home sheet.

Each week, Pastor Kevin and I will provide you with a list of questions for study and reflection based on the sermon. Our hope for this take home sheet is simple: we want to provide you with a means by which you can water the seed of the Word of God in your hearts that it might sprout and grow and produce much fruit!

And how do we water that seed? By deepening our understanding of what was said, by praying for insight and help from God, by being doers of the Word and not hearers only, and by mutually encouraging one another in the Spirit.

In practical terms, our hope is that the fathers of Glory of Christ will take the lead in working through these questions with their families each week. We hope they will see this as an opportunity to lead their families and press the truths of God’s Word deeper into their hearts. We will try to make these sheets as simple as possible so that fathers can follow up with their families even over dinner or while on the road.

Our bottom line conviction is this: if we do not take the time to follow through on the Word of God received, it will have little transformative effect in our lives. But if we do take the time to follow through the Lord will use his Word to transform us from one glory to another (Is. 55:10-11, 2 Cor. 3:18, James 1:22-25).

Please join Pastor Kevin and me as we seek to solidify the Word of God in our lives.

For the glory of Christ,
Pastor Charlie
