Scripture:
Luke 8: 40-48
⁴⁰Now when Jesus returned, a crowd welcomed him, for they were all expecting him. ⁴¹Then a man named Jairus, a ruler of the synagogue, came and fell at Jesus’ feet, pleading with him to come to his house ⁴²because his only daughter, a girl of about twelve, was dying.
As Jesus was on his way, the crowds almost crushed him. ⁴³And a woman was there who had been subject to bleeding for twelve years, but no one could heal her. ⁴⁴She came up behind him and touched the edge of his cloak, and immediately her bleeding stopped.
⁴⁵“Who touched me?” Jesus asked.
When they all denied it, Peter said, “Master, the people are crowding and pressing against you.”
⁴⁶But Jesus said, “Someone touched me; I know that power has gone out from me.”
⁴⁷Then the woman, seeing that she could not go unnoticed, came trembling and fell at his feet. In the presence of all the people, she told why she had touched him and how she had been instantly healed. ⁴⁸Then he said to her, “Daughter, your faith has healed you. Go in peace.”

Scripture:
Philippians 3:10-14
¹⁰ I want to know Christ—yes, to know the power of his resurrection and participation in his sufferings, becoming like him in his death, ¹¹ and so, somehow, attaining to the resurrection from the dead.
¹² Not that I have already obtained all this, or have already arrived at my goal, but I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me. ¹³ Brothers and sisters, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, ¹⁴ I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.

SEPTEMBER PASTORAL SERMON SERIES: LIVING WITH A RESTORED SOUL

Zion!

Hopefully most of us have been soulfully replenished by the somewhat slower and more leisurely days of summer. The question is: How long will your soul nourishment last before it is depleted by the over commitment, hurry, and overall anxiety that challenges us each day.

What if it is possible to live for longer intervals of time with a restored soul, or at your optimal soul restoration level? 

We will be exploring this extraordinary possibility during the month of September in a sermon series entitled: Living with a Restored Soul.

Scheduled Sermon Topics:  

September 4       Assuming Sacred Responsibility for Your Life
September 11    Honoring Your Holy Priorities
September 18    Living at a Sacred Pace
September 25    Claiming the Rejuvenating Power of Peace Each Day

I look forward to exploring and expanding with you, and family members and friends you invite, as we learn how to more deliberately and joyfully live with restored souls!

Blessings on Blessings,
Pastor Kirk
