RUTH: Doing Life Together

The book of Ruth is, in itself, a study of “doing life together.” It recounts the story of a family from Bethlehem who love and serve God. The book’s appeal lies in its ordinary and down-to-earth human experience of God and one another through life’s normal ebb and flow. Its characters serve as exemplary models of how life is lived in compassion and loyalty toward God and others. One commentator writes, “This book is literary art and theological insight at its finest. Small wonder that people of faith have long treasured it as sacred Scripture.” Join us this summer as pastors Steve and Corey take us through the book and story of Ruth.

The last two Sundays I’ve had the opportunity to preach from a couple of my favorite scripture passages regarding the Christian Church. Church, most simp-ly defined, is the assembly of God’s people. In defining who these people are and what they do, both Acts 2:42-47 and 1 Peter 2:1-10 provide much insight and direction. Acts 2 gives us a beautiful description of the earliest church in the apostolic age. They “devoted” themselves to four main practices as spelled out in the text; the apostle’s teaching, fellowship, the breaking of bread, and prayer. I de-scribed these four habits using modern theological terms as; discipleship, part-nership, relationship and worship. Discipleship is growing one’s life and faith through spiritual formation into maturity in Christ. Partnership is sharing in the life of Jesus and his church, God’s people. We might call this mutual life and ministry. Relationship is about doing all of life together, like breaking bread in each other’s homes. Lastly, worship is captured by the word, “prayer,” and refers to praising and honoring God for his love and glory among us. As a result of the early church’s commitment to these most important practices, the text tells us the church was filled with awe and celebrating what God was doing among them. They were united in purpose and practice and shared their lives together. They cared for everyone’s needs; physically, relationally, emo-tionally, and spiritually. And all of this led to them enjoying doing life together. 1 Peter 2 gives us a glorious description of how God sees the church in the apos-tolic age. God has made the church into; a spiritual house, a chosen nation, a royal priesthood, a holy people, a special possession. Built upon Jesus Christ, the “Cornerstone,” the church becomes God’s instrument and tool to make his name known and advance his kingdom. As you consider these texts, how closely does your church relate to the earliest church? Are the practices of discipleship, partnership, relationship, and wor-ship the most important practices to us? Are they your most important practic-es? Are we doing life together as they did in the early church? Are you doing life together with others? Do we see ourselves and act as if we are God’s spiritual house, chosen nation, royal priesthood, holy people, special possession? Do you?

From the Council

Several months ago in our monthly Men’s Ministry Bible study session, we began a series of discussions on the importance of the classic disciplines of our faith, commonly referred to as Spiritual Disciplines. The study was based on a pamphlet obtained from Rose Publishing, Inc. This Preview article only summarizes what was discussed and is by no means comprehensive.

The first thing that everyone asks is “What are Spiritual Disciplines and why do we need them?” The power that sin has over our daily thinking and activities leads us to understand the need to discipline ourselves to reject sinful habits and, with the power and grace of the Holy Spirit, build a closer connection to God.

We all know that salvation cannot be earned but is obtained through God’s grace alone. Therefore, the practice of Spiritual Disciplines only helps us recognize that Jesus is constantly to be at the center of our everyday lives. Spiritual Disciplines also help us both to recognize God’s callings and to equip us to respond in a Christian manner when problems surface in our lives. Spiritual Disciplines provide our lives with humility and enrichment and can connect us to fellow believers.

Our monthly study sessions went on to discuss the common disciplines that many Christians have practiced throughout the ages. They are:

Operation Christmas Child

June request: Gifts for all ages

This month, we are looking for NEW accessories/practical items for kids: Sunglasses, tote bags/purses, hair bows, friendship bracelets, jewelry (boxed sets, fashion jewelry for preteen/teen), watches, flashlights w/batteries, bead kits, bead jewelry, work gloves, fishing kits, sewing kits, gardening gloves, work gloves.

Don’t feel like facing the shopping crowds but still want to help? We have a solution to that too! Monetary contributions allow us to purchase items in bulk, as well as cover the shipping costs for the packed boxes. On average, it costs about $15 to pack and ship a box. This year, we invite you to sponsor a box...or two...or seven...or twelve (one per month!)...or a few dozen! If just 58 people sponsor one box per month (a $180/year gift), we would easily reach our goal of packing and shipping 700 boxes in 2017. Checks should be written to RLC with “Operation Christmas Child” marked in the memo line. OCC envelopes are available on the bulletin board, if desired.

We also have a “wish list” on Amazon! Here you will find a list of items that work well for the boxes we fill (http://a.co/fA8RSXk).You can shop from the comfort of your home and have items shipped directly to the church. As in the past, we will continue to collect an “item of the month” in the box in the fellowship hall.

Thank you for your ongoing support of this ministry that tangibly expresses our love of Christ through a simple box of gifts. Please also pray for the recipients of the boxes, that they will be drawn into a closer relationship with Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior.

The constant barrage of breaking news concerning issues in our gov-ernment over the recent months can be upsetting. Most of us feel helpless when we hear these news reports and don’t know what we can do about them. We often are unsure whether what we hear is true or false.

World events are equally troubling. North Korea threatens to fire ballistic missiles at us with nuclear warheads. ISIS and Al Qaeda plan and execute terror attacks in many countries. More people (65 million) have had to migrate due to famine or war than at any other time in recorded history. Computer attacks and frauds threat-en industry and our personal data. Poverty and lack of clean water im-pacts much of the world.

In our families and in our church we are faced with constant reports of dis-eases, surgeries, and accidents. Loved ones die. The stresses of our jobs keep us anxious.

But life is never hopeless because God loves us and is all-powerful. And he gives us a role to play in restoring our world and extending his King-dom. One way is through our prayers. As Paul said:

“I urge, then, first of all, that peti-tions, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for all peo-ple— for kings and all those in au-thority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness. This is good, and pleases God our Savior…” -1 Timothy 2:1-3

One way to do this each day is sit down with a newspaper or the news apps on your cell phone. Look for ar-ticles about issues that affect your community or the world. Think about how God’s commands inform us of His will in the issue or situation. Pray for God’s healing and transformation for all people impacted. Pray for our President and our federal and state

leaders that God will give them wis-dom, discernment, and a desire for mercy and justice for all. Serving in government is a difficult job and they need divine help. Ask God how he is asking you to respond to an issue.

Martin Luther had immensely busy days as he served as both a pastor and a leader in the reformation of the church. There were always sermons to prepare, books to write, people in need, and visitors wanting to talk to him. He didn’t have any free time. He had a family to care for. And yet he put a priority on prayer. Consider this quote:

“If I fail to spend two hours in prayer each morning, the devil gets the vic-tory through the day. I have so much business I cannot get on without spending three hours daily in pray-er.” – Martin Luther

I confess that I give more time to reading scripture than in praying. I know I should spend much more time in prayer.

A related short-coming is that I spend too much of my prayer time in peti-tions. There is nothing wrong with petitions; asking for help with the events of the day, asking for guidance in decisions, and for healing for our-selves and others. But I don’t spend enough time praising and worshiping God. And I don’t spend nearly enough time listening to God. As one of my favorite writers on prayer, Frank Laubach, said:

“The trouble with nearly everybody who prays is that he says 'Amen' and runs away before God has a chance to reply. Listening to God is far more important than giving Him our ide-as.” – Frank Laubach (Make your prayer a conversation and not just a monologue.)

President’s Perspectives - Thoughts on Prayer

Dave Larkin Congregation President

PAGE 5 THE PREVIEW

Bible Study - One of the best ways to stay connected to God is by regular Bible study. God speaks to us individually and collectively through his word. More effective Bible study requires some memorization and meditation as well as deeper transformative study. Studying in groups is considered to be the most effective method.

Prayer - Prayer is actually commanded in the Bible. It requires concentration and focus. Prayer reinforces our dependence on God and brings a compassion for others. We remember that the Holy Spirit takes our prayers, however stated, and brings them to God the Father (Rom. 8:26-27).

Fasting - Fasting is probably the most neglected of all the disciplines (I am definitely guilty of neglect here). Regaining self-control (and thus the ability to break bad habits) is a main point of fasting.

Worship - Our study explained that worship is an attitude rather than just an activity. It promotes thankfulness, humility, obedience, and love. A worshiping attitude should extend to activities and relationships in our daily lives. Collective worship nurtures fellowship and promotes relationships.

Service - Service is not what we do, it is who we are. We are the servants of Christ. When we serve others, we show Jesus’ love and compassion.

Solitude - We may not always hear God’s voice because we are often distracted by our busy lives. Solitude is setting aside an hour, a day, or any period of time to allow ourselves to focus on our relationship with God.

Discernment - All believers are called to be wise and discerning (Phil. 1:9-10). Discernment, along with other disciplines, allows us to separate right from wrong and helps us to understand God’s calling in our lives.

Evangelism - Evangelism is closely connected to the other Spiritual Disciplines described above. The practice of these disciplines allows us to be God’s instrument in the sharing of our faith. Developing loving relationships with the people around us is the best way to evangelize.

Each of us may individually practice some or all of these disciplines. Many Spiritual Disciplines are practiced here at RLC collectively on Sunday mornings and also during additional Bible studies, committee meetings, or other activities. As you can see by this brief discussion, all Spiritual Disciplines are interrelated to a certain extent. But our study of Spiritual Disciplines leads us to ask ourselves: Are we disciplined enough to turn away from bad habits and create good habits such that Jesus is continually at the center of our lives as we seek to live out the Fruit of the Spirit: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control (Gal. 5:22-23).

Attending and leading Bible studies at the Men’s Ministry gatherings has definitely provided me with greater awareness and insight into God’s place in my life and has enriched my faith.

Vacation Bible School

At Maker Fun Factory VBS, kids discover not only that God made them the way they are, but for a purpose too. Maker Fun Factory is filled with incredible Bible-learning experiences kids see, hear, touch, and even taste! Sciency-Fun Gizmos™, team-building games, and cool Bible songs are just a few of the standout activities that help faith flow into real life. Plus, we’ll help kids discover how to see evidence of God in everyday life—something we call God Sight-ings. Get ready to have a fantastic time at RLC’s Vacation Bible School! Maker Fun Factory Vacation Bible School is open to kids who are at least 3 years old (and out of diapers) through 5th grade. Registration begins online May 7 at www.RichlandLutheran.org. The fun is scheduled for Monday-Friday, June 26-30. Each night we’ll start with a family dinner at 5:15 PM in the fellowship hall. Then, at 6:00, we’ll move to the sanctuary to begin the ad-ventures! Kids will be wrapping up the activities at about 8:15, but your entire family is invited to join us for our closing worship times each evening at 7:50 in the sanctuary.

Oh, and did we mention this a FREE event? It is!

We’ll close out our week on Friday night with a big finale! Join us at 7:45 PM for a slide show, songs from the kids, and an ice cream reception! Everyone is invited, whether you have a child participating or not! Come see first-hand what happens at this awesome ministry reaching out to our community! Be sure to visit the donation request bulletin board in the Prince of Peace Fellowship Hall. Simply choose a tag with an item you can provide. Find the corresponding number on the sign-out sheet on the table below the bulletin board, and print your name and phone number. Then return your item by the date noted on the tag, with the tag attached (so I know whose item has been returned). If your item is “returnable” and is just being loaned to VBS, please mark it with your name, and then remember to come pick it up from Jenny after VBS! We are expecting about 100 children to attend VBS, and we usually feed about 120 people for dinner each night. With a crowd that big, we need lots of help!! If you are able to lend a hand as a crew leader (chaperoning a small group of about 5 kids) or help out in the kitchen, please sign up on the yellow worship slip or even better online on the church website—just click on the VBS logo!

Troop 248 scrambling down the trail

We also made time April 20, Earth Day, to complete a conservation ser-vice project. Troop 248 cleaned up trash on the Tapteal Greenway trail near the Horn Rapids Dam. It was a great opportunity to give back to our community and have the scouts learn about our responsibilities in keeping our environment clean.

Troop 248 meets Tuesday nights at 7 PM. We would love to have any of you come to pay us a visit.

For our spring hike, Troop 248 went to Ancient Lakes. We had 12 scouts go. Five of them were going on their first hike. The trail had some scram-bling but we were rewarded with some waterfalls and beautiful lakes to look on. The scouts had a great time and a few, I hope, have caught the backpack bug.
