Encounter Church BR

Many highlights about last night! Going around the tables we learned that 2 of our guys that come from a treatment center near by will be completing their time there transitioning to Legacy Sober Living. They're excited looking forward to growing more with us. One comes every week with so much gratitude. We celebrated Birthday's and one of guys presented a Father's Day tribute to one of our leaders. We also were able to pray over some of our team that will be getting married on Friday. We love and appreciate all that they pour into our Care Night's. They mentor, sponsor, deliver clothes to treatment centers and serve meals. They're an asset to what we do. They're an example about the lesson last night, Carrying the Message.

After healing, surrender and transformation we are invited to do something sacred. We are invited to Carry the Message. It's not about perfection or preaching. It's about overflow. What God's done for us becomes hope for someone else. It means living from a changed heart, not just telling a story. We don't carry theories, we carry experience, grace and truth. Healing isn't meant to end with us. God entrusted us with a Purpose. We are to come alongside others, letting them know they're not alone, that freedom is possible.

Freely you've received, freely give. Living a life that gives glory to God is a life that reflects His character, pointing others to Him. Bearing fruit, not just having gifts. Fruit reveals maturity. It's not about perfection, it's about direction. A surrendered life, consistently yielded, brings God great glory. When our lives reflect His heart, He's glorified without a single word spoken. It doesn't make a problem free life, it makes a life anchored, fruitful and God honoring. We are saved to be sent. Purpose isn't accidental, it's prepared by God. What a great way to wrap up Semester 3!
