NorthWood Goals 2009
Today I preached on our focus for this year as a church. It’s the year of the disciple. Our verse is Luke 9:23. You can hear the sermon tomorrow at Northwoodchurch.org - I didn’t finish the sermon so I listed the goals for members here. I know if you’re outside NorthWood some of this might not make sense to you - it’s in house talk - but what a great sermon aid when you don’t finish!
Tomorrow I’ll resume lessons from journals.
#What we set as goals 15 years ago becomes daily practice today.

This last Sunday was a very gripping message. In the context of Luke 9:23 and the lifestyle of a disciple; you had mentioned 3 key words, abandonment, abasement, and servanthood. I cannot seem to stop thinking about these, particularly, abandonment, and abasement. These have not been words that I normally think about, or meditate on, or pray about. Over the last two days, I have found myself less complaining, and critical; and more wanting to listen, learn, relinquish, reduce, and respond.
