Weekly Rundown (4.10.11)

• Started new series this weekend focused on the Cross -- there's a reason we sing "O the wonderful Cross".
  
  
  
  • No Christianity, no Christians, no heaven, and no way we can know God without the Cross.
  
  
  
  


• Be sure to pray for our team in Haiti this week.


• Praying for our church to become more ethnically diverse like our community is and like heaven will be (see Revelation 7:9). Several signs of movement in this area: exciting conversations, number of first-time guests, etc.
  
  
  
  • God is glorified with how His worth creates unity from diversity.
  
  
  
  


• I love hearing the story of the "this guy will never change ... [from being a hell-bound, selfish, sinner]" become the "This guy was radically saved by God!" Heard 2 such stories this week!
  
  
  
  • "I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God for the salvation of everyone who believes ..." [Romans 1:16a]
  
  
  
  


• I love reading Andrew Murray.


• Beth is doing well (thanks so much for always asking and continually praying).  She is fighting and winning, still fighting but winning.
  
  
  
  • EB Virus is "detectable" in her system but below the point of her testing "positive" for it. Please pray her own immune system fights this off successfully.
  
  
  • Praying for T-Cells to increase.
  
  
  • Pray for our friend Edwin who is still hospitalized but doing better.
  
  
  • Pray for the family and friends of John Hanna who passed away recently after battling Fanconi-related head and neck cancer.
  
  
  
  


• John 6:29
