Like most biblical truths, the principle of sowing and reaping has been subjected to much discussion. One, however, cannot dismiss a biblical truth simply because others have abused it. Neither can we ignore clear Bible passages that are incontrovertible. We cannot disregard what the Word of God has explicitly said, that “while the earth remains, seedtime and harvest … shall not cease” (Gen 8:22). In the Gospel, even Jesus Himself reiterates this in the very important parable of the sower (Mt 13:18-23).

Returning the week of January 12th with 27 small groups, containing over 350 people, Home Church has a place for YOU! Home Church is all about Serving Together. Our Home Church Ministry values deep relationships as well as spiritual growth and here at Fellowship we believe that one of the best ways to foster this is through serving together. As people are serving together and building a common passion for others two things take place: those serving grow closer as they are on mission with one another, and our local community is impacted for the sake of the gospel. Our Home Churches serve our own body through many avenues and volunteer with our local ministry partners in various ways throughout the year. Serving is a key piece as we build community in the body of Christ. Fellowship’s desire is that everyone who calls Fellowship home connect relationally in a Home Church.

Trauma and tragedy can leave us feeling lonely and unseen. For King & Country's song "God Only Knows" reminds us that God holds a deep love and understanding of you and your circumstances (past or present). Many of the psalms of David poetically reflect our own heart's cry. Let's take a deep look at one of those psalms this week. Taking a B.I.T.E. out of Scripture - this week's Bible Interaction Tool Exercises include: Context Repetition Write in your Bible Consider the opposite Make a list The line in the song that led me to the verse that led me to our focus Psalm this week - Psalm 25:16 How Psalm 25 is an acrostic psalm, meaning each verse starts with a letter of the Hebrew alphabet (which is why is may read more disjointed than other psalms) Using the BITE of repetition to let the psalm really sink in My desire to seek God's face before I seek His hand An article by Mortimer Adler on" How to Mark a Book" - Online Article Directing our attention to God first by marking every reference to God (by name or pronoun) with a triangle (or symbol or color of choice) Considering the opposite of steadfast - Psalm 25:7 How God's way is not consistent with our way -Psalm 25:8, Isaiah 55:8-9 Marking the verbs in this psalm Making a list/column of "God's verbs" vs. "My verbs" Recognizing that God takes on everything and our role is very limited      Additional Resources Lyrics - KLove.com Story behind the song "God Only Knows" by For King & Country - YouTube Video This Week's Challenge Read Psalm 25 repeatedly this week. Then take the time to INTERACT with Psalm 25. Mark all of the references to God. Then make notes in a notebook or in the margins of what you learn about God through the words of this Psalm. Next, mark all of the verbs. Make a list of the “God verbs” in one column and a list of the “Me verbs” in another. Observe through this exercise all that God takes on Himself while our role is merely to trust, wait, fear, abide, take refuge, and keep His covenant.

From the Bible Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything. If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you. – James 1:2-5 And the two will become one flesh.’ So they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let no one separate. – Mark 10:8-9 Resources My Many Mental Browser Tabs - Forgiven Wife Get Off Our Marriage Bed, Fido! - Hot, Holy & Humorous Lock the Door, For Heaven's Sake! - Hot, Holy & Humorous Making Love When You Have Teens in the Home - Hot, Holy & Humorous Bedroom Soundtracks - OysterBed7 Behind Closed Doors: Five Marriage Stories by J.

We can hide behind convenient truth when things are swell, but when our feet are to the fire the deep truth tends to come out. Will we be willing to log years of faithfulness such that our circumstances no longer define God's ability or position in our minds?
