Micah 6:8

So its mock draft season for the NFL and I wanted to have a little fun so I am doing a Bible Character mock draft! Fun? Sure. Sacrilege? Maybe. My buddy Evan Duncan and I did this draft together and we included only characters that are fully human and not divine. Hope you enjoy! Pick 1 (Evan): Mary - Mother of our Lord. She was an activist and revolutionary. Knew her scripture and trusted God - even when it meant virgin birth, being a social outcast, and watching Jesus die. Pick 2 (David): Moses - led God's people out of slavery, sent the plagues, cool staff. Got to hang out with God and was given the law. Pretty great all around leader, versatile. Pick 3 (Evan): Paul. Early career character issues but turned it around to be the greatest missionary of all time. Opened the door for all to enter. Real student of the game. Pick 4  (David): Abraham - Father of nations, faithful. Has some character issues but showed strength overcoming them. Known worldwide for his catchy son

One of the exciting events that I inherited at Rockbridge Church is Be The Church Sunday. For outreach and mission we shut down the campus doors and go be the church in the community. What a great and wonderful idea! We served all over Cedar Park and Leander and Austin: filling homeless bags, repairing fences, and other work projects. It was a great weekend of work and thank you to everyone who helped plan and lead these projects. Check out some pics from the weekend:

Today we begin a 21-day challenge to grow in our faith at Rockbridge Church. I hope if you have not already signed up that you will join us tonight at 630pm for our first session! John Wesley, an Anglican priest, was the founder of the Methodist movement and he taught the church to consider 21 question to make sure they were focused on God and God's call on their life. This week we are discussing an upward focus on God in our lives. Here are the questions we will be looking at tonight: 1. Is Jesus real to me? 2. Am I enjoying prayer? 3. Do I insist upon doing something about which my conscience uneasy? 4. Did the Bible live in me today? 5. Did I disobey God in anything? 6. Do I pray about the money I spend? 7. Do I give time for the Bible to speak to me every day? In John chapter 15, Jesus tells his disciples, "I am the true vine, and my Father is the vineyard keeper...Remain in me, and I will remain in you...If you remain in me and I in you, then you will produce
