09-10-23 Re-Shaped: What We're Made For (4/4) "En-Couraged

<p>Senior Pastor Colton Lott closes our series &quot;Re-Shaped: What We&#39;re Made For&quot; with his sermon &quot;We Can Do This&quot;.</p> <p>&quot;Most people I know who talk about the last 5 years talk about how hard they have been. And I know I felt rough edges and you have too. Not just in the church but in the world with all that we have lived through. And it&#39;s all I got to know, but I&#39;m so grateful that we go to do it together. We have taken heart, we&#39;ve had courage, we&#39;ve moved beyond just knowing and understanding into an integration where the changes, the good ones and the bad ones, took root and just became part of who we are. And we flourished anyway. And we became as we have been and will continue to be, people of generosity and graciousness. We have walked on the water too. And not only have we once walked but will keep walking changing bit by bit so we can follow Jesus again and again no matter where he leads even when it calls us over the side of the boat. Church we will keep being reshaped again, again, and again. And we can do it. It&#39;s not me or you anyway, not really. It&#39;s about what God is doing through us. It&#39;s always about how God is reshaping us.&quot; </p> <p><br></p> <p>Contemporary Reading: &quot;Start Close In&quot; (read by Kyston Haines)</p> <p>Scripture Reading: Matthew 14:22-31a (read by Colton Lott)</p> <p><strong>Click here to donate: </strong><a href="https://firstchristianchurchelreno.breezechms.com/give/online?fbclid=IwAR1Q0e1P0gTVsFbxCpyip0mQIAk_qjTNo3I2f0ohdYa0YcQGWFOuC12ZcTI">⁠https://firstchristianchurchelreno.breezechms.com/give/online?</a></p>
