CORE

Thanks to  the 3 bus loads of CORE members who came out to journey with us in our Fall Trip to Brasstown Bald the highest point in GA!

It was refreshing to get out and have a wonderful relaxing time in the mountains, enjoying  natural beauty,  taking pictures, fellowshipping with current friends, and even making new ones. 

Special thanks to CORE’s Social Team for putting this trip together to bring the new season in with us connecting as a ministry.

Although the mountain was steep going up and a challenge, we made it and learned some things about ourselves. Suddenly some of us jokingly realized that we need to get into better shape too.

However, seeing the beautiful view was worth going up the mountain. Coming down the mountain was much easier of course.

SPECIAL THANKS to EnCORE!

Thanks to all the actors, production personnel,  makeup artist, writers, and directors of EnCORE for your hard work and talent in presenting The Encounter.

We look forward to next season’s theatre presentations. Again, we thank you and appreciate your hard work in making the production a success.

“Be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles[scheme] of the devil. For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. Ephesians 6:10 -11

RECAP:  Isolation is a common booby trap Satan uses to get us off by ourselves and out of the safety of being surrounded and in fellowship with other strong Christians.  Just as a lion seeks his prey to devour, the bible tell us our adversary, the devil, walks about like a roaring lion seeking whom he may devour. Lions often attack a sick, young or struggling or isolated prey. Many of us isolate ourselves due to issues of the heart and pride. Satan uses isolation to spearate use from our real source and causes us to focus back on self.

However, God made us for relationships. The bible tells us that we can do nothing without God or each other so we must abide in him. We have to make sure we get connected and stay connected to other strong Christians in order to avoid the enemy’s booby trap of isolation. We must make sure we have relationships that are life giving relationships with other Christians. Relating to others is a spiritual activity.

In evaluating our spiritual lives we must ask the question: “How am I doing with people? How are my relationships going?”
