FAITH IS A JOURNEY – Part 13
I. Pull over and ___________ to God’s __________.
The whole assembly became silent as they listened to Barnabas and Paul telling about the miraculous signs and wonders God had done among the
Gentiles through them. Acts 15:12
When they finished, James spoke up: "Brothers, listen to me. Simon has described to us how God at first showed His concern by taking from the
Gentiles a people for Himself. Acts 15:13-14
II. Check God’s _________ for _________________.
The words of the prophets are in agreement with this, as it is written:
"'After this I will return and rebuild David's fallen tent. Its ruins I will
rebuild, and I will restore it…. Acts 15:15-16
…that the remnant of men may seek the Lord, and all the Gentiles who bear My Name, says the Lord, who does these things' that have been
known for ages. Acts 15:17-18
III. Let God’s grace __________ with ____________.
"It is my judgment, therefore, that we should not make it difficult for the
Gentiles who are turning to God. Acts 15:19
Instead we should write to them, telling them to abstain from food polluted by idols, from sexual immorality, from the meat of strangled animals and from blood. For Moses has been preached in every city
from the earliest times and is read in the synagogues on every Sabbath."
Acts 15:20-21
NEXT STEPS
1. Make time in your busy schedule to talk to other
believers about what God is graciously doing to
make disciples. Listen intently to how God is able
and willing to share His Good News with anyone.
2. Make sure that you check God’s road map to see if
what you are hearing is actually His grace or not. Be
sure that you rejoice with what He verifies. Reject
anything that isn’t verified by His Word as truth.
3. Allow God’s grace to shine through all of your life as
you relate respectfully with people. Share the same
grace that you have received to make it easy for any
one to recognize their need to follow Jesus.

We are looking for Greeters for Sunday mornings starting September 13th for Back to Church Sunday. Greeters will look a little different then in the past.
A Greeter's description is:
1. Create a welcoming environment.
2. Offer coffee and make connections.
Greeters offer guests coffee and make connections.
3. Make introductions.
Greeters introduce the guests to the teacher/leader of small groups and Sunday School Classes. It’s helpful if the greeter and group members are wearing name tags.
4. Provide Welcome packet materials.
These are located on the Welcome Center stand along with a bulletin
5. Introduce the pastor.
Before or after the worship service the greeter introduces the guests to the pastor and other staff members as appropriate. Our pastor and staff really appreciate this because it makes follow-up on their part much easier as they can now place a name and face. Greeters can be some of the most important people to Blue Rock!!
See Stephanie Doell if interested.
There is a sign-up sheet on bulletin board outside office.
