Sunday was my wife’s birthday and  she’ll say I forgot (but I really didn’t)  but I will admit I was pretty cheesy about it.  Still – I think the kids and I pulled off an okay day for her…  It was tough with Sunday being the busiest day of the week for me!  Thanks to those of you who gave her gifts and birthday greetings – I know she really appreciated it!

Here’s my thoughts for Sunday:  

• have I said I love being a pastor at WPA yet?  Well consider it said!
• Rev. Jim Reese spoke in the morning services, “Just Live by Faith”.  Very inspiring and I loved the sound of his voice (listen to the .mp3 to hear it for yourself!)
• Jim’s definition of faith: “In Christ alone, by grace alone, according to scriptures alone”
• Using what Hebrews 11 had to say about Abraham – Jim outlined how you live by Faith:
  • Faith Obeys and Submits (11:8)
  • Faith Separates (11:8b) – “No to sin, and yes to God’s righteousness”
  • Faith Sojourns (v9) – means “you’re going on a trip no one else has taken”
  • Faith Seeks (v 10, 13-14)
