Creative Scribble

Another great day at OneLife is in the books. The second week of the "Do You Hear" series proved that this series might be our best one yet.

• Lots of returning guests that came last week for baptisms. Second time guests excite me!
• Part two of the series talked about Joseph.
• I believe he broke it off with Mary when he found out Mary was pregnant. Being a guy, I can read between the lines and only imagine that when it says "he had in mind to divorce her" that he wasn't kidding!
• But as we learned, when Joseph's plans failed he heard from God.
• Many times, God waits until our plans fail so he can speak to us.
• But the best thing Joseph did was obey when he did hear from God. And he went back to Mary and made things right...he married her!
• Lots of OneLifers are hearing from God during this series.
• One person heard from God for the first time and gave their life to Christ!
• Several others have been sending in stories about how they are hearing from God. Some awesome stuff is happening.
• Angel Tree gifts were due and it was UNBELIEVABLE to see OneLife's generosity at work!
• 36 foster kids will have an awesome Christmas because of the generous giving of OneLifers. There were bicycles, baby dolls, clothes, shoes, and tons more.
• Our Christmas Offering has also been great. So far nearly $3,000 has been given above and beyond our normal tithes.
• The entire offering at our Christmas Eve service will be given away! Can't wait to see how OneLife can impact our community and world.
• Invite someone to the last Sunday of "Do You Hear" and to the Christmas Eve Service! powellchristmas.com.
