Last weekend was PARENTS WEEKEND!
We also kicked off our NEW SERIES...
Which reminded me of this song I love! :)
I loved that we got to look at scripture from all over the Bible to prove that God's words towards us have power to change our lives.
Bryan referenced some of my favorite words that Jesus speaks to us in Matthew 11:28-30.
I love the Message version:
I love the Message version:
“Are you tired? Worn out? Burned out on religion?
Come to me.
Get away with me and you’ll recover your life.
I’ll show you how to take a real rest.
Walk with me and work with me—watch how I do it.
Learn the unforced rhythms of grace.
I won’t lay anything heavy or ill-fitting on you.
Keep company with me and you’ll learn to live freely and lightly.”
These words give rest to our overwhelmed hearts.
"For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers,
nor things present nor things to come, nor powers,
nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation,
will be able to separate us from the love of God
in Christ Jesus our Lord."
Romans 8:38-39
These words give us security in the power of His love.
nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation,
will be able to separate us from the love of God

Romans 8:38-39
These words give us security in the power of His love.
"Fear not, for I am with you;
be not dismayed, for I am your God;
I will strengthen you, I will help you,
I will uphold you with my righteous right hand."
Isaiah 41:10
These words give us hope.
“Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth,
where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal,
but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven,
where neither moth nor rust destroys
and where thieves do not break in and steal."
Matthew 6:19-20
where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal,
but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven,
where neither moth nor rust destroys
and where thieves do not break in and steal."
Matthew 6:19-20
These words give us perspective to live with a God's Kingdom-first mindset.
Then we jumped into James 3!
"But no human being can tame the tongue.
It is a restless evil, full of deadly poison.
With it we bless our Lord and Father
and with it we curse people
who are made in the likeness of God."
James 3:8-9
My favorite quote from Bryan this weekend was:
"There is no such thing as neutral words."
It reminded me of a quote I read right before this service!
The words we speak to each other should leave stretch marks, not bruises. Love is always picky about what it says. -Bob Goff
Lastly- anyone else thinkin of this jam by TobyMac?
My adorable spin (cycling) instructor at TCU was a believer
& she would always play this during our classes!
Speak Life y'all ;)
Now let's get to HOUSE GROUPS!
That trivia game was such a blast!
Then Maria I got to hang with your parents for a bit! Here's a sneak peek...
It was so important to me to meet the people that have raised some of the most inspiring high schoolers I know. :) We shared a couple laughs & some real talk.
Can't wait for another great weekend! :D
Fully Known & Fully Loved,
Cass
