It was our first mission trip to Peru. In 2015, I led a team to Lima to do a Spanish version of Worship Northwest. Working with a local church, we prepared for the challenges we would face as we took an event we do here at home to a culture and country that is very different. But, as hard as we worked, we weren't prepared for everything. Because as the saying goes, you don't know what you don't know.
One of the most challenging things we didn't know had to do with money. Somewhere along the way, we ended up with a significant amount of cash that was counterfeit. But, we weren't familiar with Peruvian currency, so we didn't know how to spot it. I've been told that in US banks, tellers are trained to spot counterfeit bills not by studying the flaws in the fakes, but by knowing the real stuff so well, they can spot a fake immediately. Knowing the difference between what is fake and what is real happens when you know the real stuff intimately.
We're in the middle of our series, Sound Doctrine in a Noisy World. In this next section of his letter to Timothy, Paul gives a strong warning about false teaching that is infiltrating the church, along with essential strategies to combat it. And his best advice for recognizing what's false? Know what is true and live it out.
I invite you to join us this Sunday at 11 AM. You'll find us online by clicking the "Join Us Sunday" button on our website or connect with us via our YouTube channel. Or come worship with us in person! Enjoy coffee, cookies and conversation in our Lobby before the service. Connecting with one another before and after the service is one way we get to do life together.
We do know that 11 AM on Sunday doesn't work for everyone. If that's you, the service will be available on-demand, so you can watch at a time that works better for your schedule.
We would love to see you this Sunday!
