Life Groups are meeting this week.

1.) Oregon City Starbucks (meets Mondays @ 7 p.m. at the Oregon City Starbucks on McLoughlin Boulevard) led by: Aeric Estep

    The Oregon City Starbucks Group will strive to be a community of missional Christians who encourage each other to live the Gospel in front of the people that are around them every day. Our emphasis will be on living the Gospel in a secular workplace. We will be working with the discipleship model to encourage each other in our growth and also discuss and work through ways of living the Gospel daily.

2.) Town Center Panera (meets Saturday Nights @7pm at Town Center Panera) led by: Taylor Reavely

    The Town Center Panera group intends to be a place where ordinary people are in community and relationship with other ordinary people, being trained and growing in the gospel to do extraordinary things in their lives. Discipleship will be a central focus as we hold each other accountable and spur each other on toward love and good deeds because we believe the gospel. The challenge will be to a personal responsibility for mission through the support of the group.

3.) Least of These Outreach (meets Tue. 6pm location TBA, & Sun. 6:15pm for discipleship check-in @New Life Church) led by: James Calkins
   
    Least of These outreach group focuses on just what the titles says, we are focusing on the least focused on!  We’ll be stretched emotionally, physically, and mentally as we stretch out our hand to serve those in the community who are neglected.  We will be hanging out with refugees from Africa, serving the homeless, loving on hospitalized children, and developing relationships with the forgotten about elderly community.  As we step out of our comfort zone we are blessed in being the hands and feet of Jesus in order to see His Glory revealed to those who otherwise might not get to witness it.

4.) Clackamas New Seasons (meets Thursdays @ 10 a.m. at the Clackamas New Seasons) led by: Grant Blomdahl

    The Clackamas New Seasons Group seeks to be a community of people that lives out the Gospel in all areas of life. We’ll be using the discipleship model to help us grow in our love for God and see the people in our lives changed by the Gospel. Come grow, learn, and be encouraged.

5.) Krispy Kreme Group (meets Mondays @10 a.m. at Krispy Kreme on 82nd) led by: John McKay

    The Krispy Kreme group is designed to be a community of people who desire to intentionally live out the gospel through discipleship and evangelism.  While enjoying fresh, hot and delicious doughnuts and coffee (If you so desire) we will have our discipleship check-in, and talk about our role as Christians to share the gospel with those God has placed in our lives.  Our goal is to seek and save lives through the gospel and to see new disciples of Christ grow out of our intentional efforts to share the good news of the gospel.  Join us at 10 a.m. every Monday morning at Krispy Kreme Doughnuts located on 82nd and Otty Rd. just south of Johnson Creek.

1 Peter 4:1-11


Last night we talked about following the example of Christ's suffering and living life with an eternal perspective.  We will all go through suffering at some point in our lives.  Peter has definitely communicated that to us multiple time in his first letter.  When we go through and experience times of suffering we are as Christians to follow the example of Christ.  He suffered doing the will of God.  It was not because he sinned our messed up or because he deserved it.  He was doing the will of the Father.  In 1 Peter 3:17 it says, "For it is better to suffer for doing good, if that should be God’s will, than for doing evil."  We are to follow the example of Christ by living a life in obedience to God.  Trusting God in all situations regardless of our day to day circumstances.

We also talked about living life with an eternal perspective.  This requires to see life through the lens of redemptive history.  Understanding that Christ has come in the flesh, lived a perfect life and died on the cross for your sins, in your place taking the punishment that you deserve so that if you place you faith in the sacrifice that he made for you... you will be saved!  Christ rose from the dead three days later and was exalted to the right hand of the Father where he now sits awaiting the time when he will return to judge the living and the dead.  When we see life through this lens we can look past all of the little things in our life that seem so difficult.  When we live with an eternal perspective we are less likely to fall in the temptation of sin as living for God, and sharing the gospel are far greater in the scope of eternity then seeking to satisfy our earthly fleshly  desires.

This week re-commit yourself to God.  Remember that your time is not your own... it is God's.  We don't know when, where or how God is going to act so give of your time and energy freely.  Be praying that God would point someone to Christ through you this week.  We are all called to share the good news of Jesus Christ, so do it!

Next Sunday night we will continue our series through the book of 1 Peter.  Aeric Estep will be bringing the word from 1 Peter 4:12-19 as he talks about sharing in Christ's sufferings.  I would encourage you to be reading this passage once a day so that God would begin to prepare your hearts to hear from Aeric next Sunday night.  Also, be praying for Aeric.  Pray that the Spirit of God would reveal the truth of his word to Aeric.  That the Spirit would speak through him next Sunday night.  It is our job as participants on Sunday nights to be praying for the speaker.  We are to come expecting to hear from God and so we are obligated to pray for that to happen.

I love you guys and can't wait to see next week.

John

Bring Your Own Mug!


Just a quick reminder to dust off your favorite mug and bring it to reGen. this Sunday.  Also I will come through with my promise from last week... everyone who brings their own mug this Sunday, and every Sunday will receive free coffee.  I know... way to generous.

Not a coffee drinker.  Bring your own mug to enjoy other delicious beverages provided at reGen. from punch, soda, juice, OJ, milk, tea and many other yummy drinks all of which taste much much better from your own mug.

So... BYOM this Sunday and I'll see you there, mug in hand.
