THEME: “Unraveled: Rizpah’s Mourning”

CREATIVE TENSION: Rizpah, Saul’s concubine, cried out when her sons were killed. Her mourning caught the attention of the king himself, who set things right. So how do we grieve in the wake of injustice and loss? Sometimes the loss we experience can be unraveled to bring about powerful change and a blessing to others.

WORDS: A DEVOTION

                         
I open my computer, and I am met with extreme opinions something like this:
Caption: Look at this cinnamon roll! (Photo of a bakery item the size of the moon, next to a hot cup of coffee, flower arrangement, and open Bible)
Comment 1: Yum!
Comment 2: LOL, gluten is bad for you!
Comment 3: I ate a donut last week, and it gave me an infection in my big toe. Look at this (photo attached).
Comment 4: My Aunt was a donut maker, and she’s also a (insert political affiliation), so we don’t eat them anymore. No thanks, can’t be associated with them!
I close the computer and think about it: Why are people like this?

As believers, we should be people marked not by fear, hatred, or murderous words but by peace. We should have a desire for unity instead of desiring and actively seeking out division with our words.
I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world. John 16:32-33
Read that verse again. Notice how your body responds to the truth. It’s quite different from scrolling through a social media feed. God is our Good Shepherd. He actively looks to bring us back to Himself, reorient our hearts toward Him, and give us the peace of His guidance, care, and protection. When we see ourselves and others with the right perspective, we remember that our words, whether written in a comment or spoken out loud, have the power to give life and speak truth.

Attn Men – JourneyMen 40-Day Red Letter Challenge Invite

JourneyMen 40-Day Challenge
Monday Evenings 6:30PM-7:30PM
Starting September 13, 2021 – 7 Weeks
R.D. Mize Campus – Room 501 (2nd Floor)
www.TimothyLutheran.com/JourneyMen

CLICK HERE TO REGISTER – 40-Day Red Letter Challenge

Join me in the JourneyMen 40-Day Red Letter Challenge. Too many followers of Jesus read the Bible but never put those words into practice. Likewise, there are many who do good works but aren’t sure why they are doing them. Putting God’s Word into practice is much more effective when you are not alone.

Commit to participate in the JourneyMen 40-Day challenge with a group of men as we use one another as accountability partners walking together in this journey. Stretch your faith by getting involved and doing the things God is asking you to do. When you feel unequipped and unprepared, God will use those moments to give, shape, and form your faith life.

SIGN UP BEFORE SEPT 8th AND RECEIVE A FREE T-SHIRT. Information and registration for the JourneyMen Red Letter challenge is available on the web at www.TimothyLutheran.com/JourneyMen/

Shoes, Shoes, Shoes—Youth Need More!

Thank you, Timothy, for supporting the Youth Ministry Shoe Collection Fundraiser! To date, 33 bags of 25 pairs each are ready to send off, but that is 1/3 of desired goal of 100 bags ($1,000 for upcoming youth trips). The sponsoring company has agreed to extend the deadline until Sept. 30.

So spread the word to family & friends! Drop off in bins at each campus! Let’s try very hard to reach this goal. Thank you!
