Hello Friends and Family! Welcome to our summer series that is focused on helping us understand and apply the idea of faith in God to our lives. We’re so thrilled you came. Our prayer is that each one of us will hear and encounter God in a clear and personal way while we’re together.“The Arena: Inspiring a Generation of Champions” is about what can happen as we move beyond our fears and give our all to the race God has set before us. It’s about the encouragement we can get from others who are living by faith. It’s also about the encouragement we can get from studying God’s Hall of Faith from Hebrews 11.Today Pastor Rick will give us a look into the lives of three of the more prominent figures from the Old Testament and talk about how they successfully handed the baton of faith off to the next generation. This will be Rick and Heather’s last weekend with us. Please be in prayer for them as they move on following God’s call for their future. You are invited to a reception here this evening 6:30–8:30 in their honor.Please stop by our Next Step Bookstore and look over the books I selected to inspire you to take your next step of faith.Pastor Ron
