Be Encouraged (Amanda)

My friend from FCC emailed me the other day and told us we should be sure to listen to Pastor Rod's sermon from last Sunday. We downloaded it and listened to it in the car the other day. The thoughts may have been "random" (Rod's description), but they were powerful. Thank you, Inez, for knowing us well enough to know what we needed to hear. Thank you, Rod, for letting God lead you where you were not intending to go.

Usually when you hear a sermon and think, "Oh, so-and-so should really hear this," it isn't necessarily a good thing. It's a case of needing to take a harder look in the mirror. But this time, it's a case of "everyone really needs to hear this," because we can all relate to at least one of these things. (Although I admit, certain people, ones I know need extra encouragement right now did come to mind.) Rod's five points were powerful and relevant and straight from the Word of God.

So, here's the link to the sermon series: http://www.fairfax.cc/gametracker. You want the third one in the series, from October 11-12. Listen. At least once. Really. You need to. Be encouraged. And fear not. God bless.
