This weekend at Journey

Daylight Savings Time

Don’t forget to change your clocks!  You don’t want to be THAT guy walking in an hour too late for service as we’re picking up the chairs with a confused look on your face!  Don’t let the loss of one measily hour of sleep stop you from encountering God this Sunday with the Journey crew!

We will be serving BREAKFAST this Saturday @ Hope/Faith and you are invited to share in this outreach opportunity.

Here is a recent update from Jerry and Rossane Briscoe.  They are missionaries that we support.  So far this year we have given $3000 towards what God is doing through the Briscoes in the Philippines.

Kendallwood

From time to time we’re going to feature someone who is living out their faith through action. It’s our hope this will inform you about what others are doing, and inspire you to follow after God’s calling.

Do you deliver? Bob Sapp does every Sunday morning as he brings a church service to the residents of Kendallwood Assisting Living in Gladstone, Missouri from 8:30-9:30rom 8:30-9:30

30 Whom he predestined, those he also called. Whom he called, those he also justified. Whom he justified, those he also glorified. ³¹ What then shall we say about these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? ³² He who didn’t spare his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how would he not also with him freely give us all things? ³³ Who could bring a charge against God’s chosen ones? It is God who justifies. ³⁴ Who is he who condemns? It is Christ who died, yes rather, who was raised from the dead, who is at the right hand of God, who also makes intercession for us. ³⁵ Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Could oppression, or anguish, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? ³⁶ Even as it is written, “For your sake we are killed all day long. We were accounted as sheep for the slaughter.” ³⁷ No, in all these things, we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. ³⁸ For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, ³⁹ nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, will be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. ^{9 1} I tell the truth in Christ. I am not lying, my conscience testifying with me in the Holy Spirit, ² that I have great sorrow and unceasing pain in my heart. ³ For I could wish that I myself were accursed from Christ for my brothers’ sake, my relatives according to the flesh, ⁴ who are Israelites; whose is the adoption, the glory, the covenants, the giving of the law, the service, and the promises; ⁵ of whom are the fathers, and from whom is Christ as concerning the flesh, who is over all, God, blessed forever. Amen. ⁶ But it is not as though the word of God has come to nothing. For they are not all Israel, that are of Israel. ⁷ Neither, because they are Abraham’s seed, are they all children. But, “In Isaac will your seed be called.” ⁸ That is, it is not the children of the flesh who are children of God, but the children of the promise are counted as a seed. ⁹ For this is a word of promise, “At the appointed time I will come, and Sarah will have a son.” ¹⁰ Not only so, but Rebecca also conceived by one, by our father Isaac. ¹¹ For being not yet born, neither having done anything good or bad, that the purpose of God according to election might stand, not of works, but of him who calls, ¹² it was said to her, “The elder will serve the younger.” ¹³ Even as it is written, “Jacob I loved, but Esau I hated.” ¹⁴ What shall we say then? Is there unrighteousness with God? May it never be! ¹⁵ For he said to Moses, “I will have mercy on whom I have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I have compassion.” ¹⁶ So then it is not of him who wills, nor of him who runs, but of God who has mercy. ¹⁷ For the Scripture says to Pharaoh, “For this very purpose I caused you to be raised up, that I might show in you my power, and that my name might be published abroad in all the earth.” ¹⁸ So then, he has mercy on whom he desires, and he hardens whom he desires. ¹⁹ You will say then to me, “Why does he still find fault? For who withstands his will?” ²⁰ But indeed, O man, who are you to reply against God? Will the thing formed ask him who formed it, “Why did you make me like this?” ²¹ Or hasn’t the potter a right over the clay, from the same lump to make one part a vessel for honor, and another for dishonor? ²² What if God, willing to show his wrath, and to make his power known, endured with much patience vessels of wrath made for destruction, ²³ and that he might make known the riches of his glory on vessels of mercy, which he prepared beforehand for glory, ²⁴ us, whom he also called, not from the Jews only, but also from the Gentiles? ²⁵ As he says also in Hosea, “I will call them ‘my people,’ which were not my people; And her ‘beloved,’ who was not beloved.” ²⁶ “It will be that in the place where it was said to them, ‘You are not my people,’ There they will be called ‘children of the living God.’” ²⁷ Isaiah cries concerning Israel, “If the number of the children of Israel are as the sand of the sea, It is the remnant who will be saved; ²⁸ For He will finish the work and cut it short in righteousness, Because the LORD will make a short work upon the earth.” ²⁹ As Isaiah has said before, “Unless the Lord of Armies Greek: Sabaoth had left us a seed, We would have become like Sodom, And would have been made like Gomorrah.” ³⁰ What shall we say then? That the Gentiles, who didn’t follow after righteousness, attained to righteousness, even the righteousness which is of faith;

WP-Bible plugin. He said it all started when hear heard the call of God to preach His word. ” You have to have an outlet for that. It’s either stand on a street corner and shout it or this. People are much more receptive in this type of setting. ” Bob explains.

He started the church service at Kendallwood over 3 years ago, just a few weeks after moving his family to the KC area from Houston. Providing a church service in this way just felt natural to Bob. He did it for many years with first, leading worship, then preaching on occasion. “Then, the guy who was preaching couldn’t do it anymore, so I just sort of took over preaching”.
That preaching has helped hold him accountable to consistently reading his Bible to prepare for messages. “It’s really kept me meditating on the Word, trying to hear from God ” acknowledges Bob. “An added benefit is that I’ve stayed consistent with my guitar playing, and been able to develop my worship talents.” With his current setup, he leads worship for thirty minutes and preaches for the other thirty.

It’s evident Bob’s heart has really been touched by what God has been using him for in this setting. “I mean, these are people who have gone to church their whole lives- a lot of them- and they were missing it” said Bob. Thankfully, Bob answered God’s call and brings church to those who can’t venture out. “I always get more out of it, I’m sure, than they do.” he explains. “You get to meet an entirely different population than you normally would.”
Now would be a great time for you to get involved. Bob explains “It’ s about as safe of an environment for someone to develop what they believe God is calling them to that I can imagine.” You could come help with worship time, teach a message, or share a story/testimony. Another way to participate would be just to come out and meet the residents during and after the service, help people to their seats, sit by them and help them find hymns in the book. Bob says that families are more than welcome.
