Kingdom Ethics: Redux.......also SCAC Decoded

I was talking to Daniela a few days ago and somehow we were discussing about how we were doing spiritually. One really amazing thing she mentioned was that she was behind on her re-taking of sermon notes. OK, the being behind part wasn't amazing haha...but the re-taking notes was pretty cool! I've never thought of doing that even though Pastor Tim has always posted up mp3s of past sermons for people to listen. I figured I'd give it a try and see if it will help me grow spiritually. So I began with the Kingdom Ethics series again today. I know back when Pastor Tim was preaching this series, I mentioned to a few people that I didn't get much out of it. Maybe it was because the passages were on the Sermon on the Mount, and I've heard so many sermons about it. I'm not sure why, but when I began with the first two sermons today (yes, I can listen to two sermons during a single ride to school), I felt like I'm hearing the message much more clearer. It's hard to explain, but listening to the sermons twice today helped me see the message a lot more clearer than back then. Maybe I'm not a morning person?! haha! But yup, we'll see where this leads to!

Secondly, I've decided to become a member of SCAC! I initially felt that I shouldn't do it because I had no idea what I would be doing after I graduate in a few months. I could be out of town or out of the country. But what I was really doing was putting circumstances ahead of what I really felt in my heart, which is that SCAC is really my second home. I've grown and learned so much in SCAC that I feel it is definitely a part of my life I want to be associated with. I know I am ready to devote my time, money, and spiritual gifts to SCAC. Therefore, I changed my mind and went ahead with scheduling for the membership interview!!! =)
