Living a Life of Love
Tuesday, June 1st, 2010Ephesians 5:2 MSG “Keep company with [God] and learn a life of love. Observe how Christ loved us. His love was not cautious but extravagant. He didn’t love in order to get something from us but to give everything of himself to us. Love like that.”
Living a life of love starts with keeping company with the author of love, God. He enables us to truly love. June marks the halfway point in 2010 and our word for the year – LOVE. We’ve tried to discover what love is and how to love. We’ve identified people God has called us to love. Now is the time to live it out.
Over the next six months, Katy Fellowship will be highlighting ministries that are “love givers” and identifying places and needs for us to love like Christ.
Our 2:45 fund is a ministry to help those in need experience the love of the body of Christ. Acts 2:45 says, “Selling their possessions and goods, they gave to anyone as he had need.” KCF now has a team in place to minister love by way of financial assistance to those who have a need.
Sunday, June 6th, we will highlight a ministry that has been in place for several months. James and Amy Dean along with their daughter Janelle prepare and serve sandwiches each Saturday to the day laborers along Roberts Street.
Our Worship Pastor Chris Jones and Joanna will leave June 6th for Zimbabwe for nearly three weeks to show the love of Christ to people in Africa. Our student ministry will take two groups to Galveston in June to continue the rebuilding of homes destroyed by Hurricane Ike. A missions team led by elder Allan and Caran Peterson, along with Dallas and Denielle Golden, will be organizing a mission trip to Guadalajara, Mexico in October.
Each month more ministries will be highlighted and hopefully some will begin that allow KCF HELPERS to live a life of love. Jesus did not love cautiously. Neither can we. He loved extravagantly, not giving to get, but giving sacrificially. My prayer is that Katy Fellowship can love like that.
Praying for You,
Tim
