A Big Thank You, Family Discipleship, & More

Hey Northwest! Sarah and I are back from our sabbatical and we are excited to see Jesus do big things in Northwest Arkansas. Thank you so much for praying for us the past three weeks. During our break, we focused on 4 main things:

  • Rest - We intentionally slowed our pace and attempted to eliminate hurry from our schedule.
  • Recreation - We did things that recharged our batteries...swim, run, golf, beach. 
  • Reconnect - Sarah and I went on dates, prayed together, and talked about God's plan for our family. We also spent quality time with our girls and extended family too.  
  • Renew - We spent intentional time being quiet before the Lord praying, reading, and preparing for the next phase of leadership. 
Thank you for being a church who values a team-style of leadership. Thank you for being a church filled with grace. Thank you for being a church who allows your pastors to rest. Thank you for being a church who follows after Jesus Christ and is wiling to dream big and trust big.

In addition to saying THANK YOU, I also wanted to let you now about an exciting new teaching series we kick off this Sunday, July 17th. Over the next 5 weeks we are going to discover God's incredible design for the family. We believe it is God's desire to see EVERY family thrive in Christ. Our goal during this series is to give parents a framework for family discipleship built around time, moments, and milestones that honor Jesus Christ and produce healthy, grace-filled homes. The series will flow directly from Deuteronomy 6:4 - 9 as God gives us a beautiful picture of parenthood and family discipleship. Every Sunday you will be given practical, real-life examples of how to live out God's design for your family. Don't miss this incredible opportunity to thrive!

Sundays, July 17 - August 14

And don't forget...our Family Discipleship series will be a perfect opportunity to invite other families in your neighborhood or from your kid's ball team to join you at Northwest Community Church. With a simple invite, God could use you to help another family begin to thrive too!
