Dear Friends,
Hopefully the “dependence on God” question was answered on Sunday. If you missed it, hook up with the internet and take a listen!….check this out!

“God made him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.”- 2 Corinthians 5:21

We spoke about this yesterday also. It is SO IMPORTANT that we remember who we are….the righteousness of God. You’re not trash, you are not a sinner….you are a saint, bought and paid for by the blood of the lamb!. When you let that tape run through your mind, you begin to see life differently and thus live life differently! So hold your head high. You are the righteousness…..not, should become…..but you are the righteousness of God! I am praying that your journey will allow you to embrace that more today! Have a great one….let’s talk in the AM.

Dear Friends,
I want to share with you an urgent need and an opportunity for us to have a huge impact on an entire community. The Good Samaritan Mission has served the Hispanic community in Palm Florida (southern Hillsborough county) for over 25 years. I have been personally involved in the Mission work there for many years. THEY ARE ABOUT TO SHUT THEIR DOORS….not because the need is gone, but they have no food or clothing to hand out. The people line up waiting. Here is what they need:

Pinto beans
Rice
All purpose floor
corn oil

Men’s cloths
Children’s clothes

The food can be bought in huge bulk and they will divide it for the families. I would like to ask any of us that can help to make a run to the grocery for these items and bring them on Sunday. I want to load a pickup truck and get these items to Rev. and Mrs. Cruz so they can feed these people…..CAN YOU HELP?! If so, grab a bag of one of these items, gather some old clothing and bring it Sunday! I thank you in advance!

Scott
PS: We will continue our FreshBread discussion on Monday morning!

“My salvation and my honor depend on God; he is my mighty rock, my refuge.”- Psalm 62:7

GOOD MORNING FRIENDS!!!!!!!

OK, this is a second cup of coffee question that I’d love for you to weigh in on! The Psalmist says that his Salvation is dependent on God. What does dependence mean to you? This might illicit a response of , “of course I’m dependent on God!” But what does that mean – dependent as a baby is dependent on their parents, or dependent as a company is on the supplier of major material they need for business? Do you see the difference? What do you think? Let’s talk about it together today and I’ll give you my thoughts in the morning; and for a full “wrestling match” on these thoughts, join us Sunday morning as we start the series….7 Deadly Needs! Send your thoughts to Scott@freshtartchurch.com Have a great day!
