Heroes Closure

Hey Element Church! I'm back in town and was back in the office. I had an unbelievable time with my wife being away. It was a very nice sabbath rest for us. We don't get much time to just have to each other with the four kids around so having my mom take the kids for a few days was AWESOME! Thanks mom!

I can't believe we are closing out Heroes this week. I am VERY excited about this message. When we planned this series back in August, I knew I'd preach on this passage. We're looking at an obscure passage in 1 Samuel where Jonathan and his armor bearer take on a hoard of philistines in battle. This sermon this week is REALLY challenging me at the stage of life we are in at Element Church.

God changed directions on us for the next series called Eternity. We had planned a series called "Marked: Living for Eternity" but it started to be to similar to Heroes so we switched gears and Adam helped me in putting together "Eternity: Heaven, Hell and the In Between". We feel this is a great follow up to Easter and the Heroes series. We are dedicating one entire message to Heaven, one to Hell and two to what I do from now until eternity.

I'm working a rare Friday tomorrow since I was out most of the week. Again, very excited about the sermon and church on Sunday.

Following Christ,

Jeff
