greenlake super group suggestions.

Like I mentioned in the intro email for our EastLake Group... I believe Revolutions Espresso & Bakery would be a ideal location to meet due to it's size and fact that we could get loud & crazy without the baristas caring. Revolutions is located in the bottom floor of The Greenlake Condo building.

Please start the discussion on where you'd like to meet and what book you'd like to study in the comments link below. And if you're shy, just reply to my original email and let me know your thoughts.


Dates:
Wednesday 14 October
Wednesday 21 October
Wednesday 28 October
Wednesday 04 November
Wednesday 11 November
Wednesday 18 November
Wednesday 02 December

back in black.


This has been a crazy past year and a half, with emotional highs and lows that I never thought I'd see. So I've decided to start writing again my thoughts in devotion and theology of life, love and faith. Today, we start with a simple verse.

Pilate asked him, "So you are a king?" Jesus answered, "You say that I am a king. For this I was born, and for this I came into the world, to testify to the truth. Everyone who belongs to the truth listens to my voice." Pilate asked him, "What is truth?"

- John 18:37-38


The best part about the truth Jesus is speaking about is that God's Spirit of truth lives within us as the Holy Spirit (if you want to learn more, please read Acts 3:1-10). Jesus throughout his time as a human on earth was continually misunderstood, especially when Pilate and others were compelled to call him "king."

But the part that we take as comfort is that Jesus says here that "everyone who belongs to the truth" will hear God's voice if they listen. This means that if you have faith in God, that God will speak to you in that faith. God's voice can come through in our lives in many ways (which we won't get into now), but take hope in that the Spirit of God is with you. Are you listening?
