Creative Scribble

Another great day in the books at OneLife! Here's the quick 4-1-1.

• Part 2 of Break Out Series: Temptation and sin are not the same!
• The podcast is already on iTunes. The video will be available Monday.
• Jesus was tempted but never sinned (Matthew 4:1-10)
• He was tempted by what he didn't have, in his area of weakness, and by what might appear to be "good" for him. The same happens to us!
• Satan twisted Scripture to tempt Jesus. Satan is still doing the same thing to so many Christians who take verses out of context to justify their sin.
• We can deal with temptation just like Jesus did: quote Scripture and be led by the Spirit in all that we do.
• Fall Break at UT and Knox County stinks. We really missed our UT students and quite a few families. Looking forward to having them back next week!
• It seemed that those who weren't gone on Fall Break were sick. Lots of volunteers out sick today.
• We didn't skip a beat, though. New volunteers showed up yet again today. Set-up was still done in an hour and tear-down in about 40 minutes. Unbelievable!
• Even with lots of regulars out we still had a ton of first time guests. Four families filled out communication cards.
• Announced today the "Get to Know OneLife Lunch" on November 1. Expected about 30 people total to sign up by next week. Already have over 50!
• Also announced a new church we are going to help in the government housing community of Bakertown Apartments. We will be collecting candy next Sunday for their "Reverse Trick-or-Treat."
• Sheena, our weekly female singer/worship leader, was out sick today. So we had a last minute fill in - Kieruka (ka-roo-ka) Martin. That girl ROCKED the house, especially on "You'll Come." I can't tell you how awesome the OneLife Band is at leading worship each week.
• We are already half-way through the Break Out series and I'm pumped about next week's topic. Be there and bring a friend!
