Jesus said to the woman caught in adultery, “Where are your accusers? Has no one condemned you?” “No one, Lord,” she answered.

There are enough accusers in the world. There have been too many in the church. I wish we would all take Jesus’ lead and love each other instead of pointing the finger. If God knew the end at the beginning and He knew we would sin, why did He create us in the first place? Jesus loves the act of redemption. I wish we all loved forgiveness more than accusation. I wish I was quicker with grace than judgment. The irony is that sin, the thing we are so quick to condemn the other person for, is the culprit in our own hearts that causes us to judge the other person. Let’s make a change!

This week is our last week at Huntsville Middle School. Next Sunday the 10th, we will begin in our new location at the Stone Center at Campus 805! We are so excited! God has blessed us in so many ways to be able to make this move! We will have the opportunity to love more people through our Purpose Groups that we just introduced last Sunday. I think it’s fitting to prepare our hearts this week with the compassion of Jesus. So, we will be talking about how to do away with pointing the finger as the scripture talks about. Also, wouldn’t it be great to have a circle of friends who love and support you without passing judgement? We are a family of people who love God and each other.

Come and join us. We will welcome you with open arms! Huntsville Middle School, this Sunday, 10:30 am. See you there! Check out our three new purpose groups below.

I hope all of you are having a blast taking the Strengths Finder test and formulating your plan for the future! It certainly is gratifying when you find out that God had a plan and a purpose for creating you with your specific gifts! If you weren’t with us last week, we still have some books available. Just go by the information desk and pick one up! Each person will need a book because each online evaluation requires a different code found in the back of each book.

This week we are getting up close and personal with Jesus and His disciples as they cast their net on the right side of the boat. It’s a great story and the scripture makes a point to say that their net was strong. We are going to make The Net strong this week. Jesus gave His friends a huge catch and the net did not break. We believe He is in the process of doing the same for us! But The Net must be strong. We will begin to prepare this week for a great catch!

Don’t miss our BIG ANNOUNCEMENT this week!! God is amazing and is blessing our new church in ways that can only be described as miraculous! See you there! 10:30 am, Huntsville Jr. High School.

You are strong! You may not realize it but you are strong! God made you strong. It’s probably not something that you think about very often. You may even consider yourself to be a weak person but there are things about you that are extraordinary!

When our oldest son Hampton was in elementary school, he was having problems doing his school work. He just didn’t enjoy the classroom setting. We were trying to find ways to encourage him to do his work. We were very concerned about his capacity to succeed in school but one day his math teacher called to tell us something extraordinary about Hampton. She explained that the class had a spacial reasoning exercise to do that took the rest of the class 45 minutes to do and took her 20 minutes to do but only took Hampton 5 minutes to do. It turns out that God created Hampton with a gift that none of us knew about until an opportunity uncovered it.

Last week, I revealed the purpose statement of The Net, “We worship God and help people”. As we truly worship God and help people, these opportunities will uncover strengths in us that God put there specifically to be used for His kingdom. “Inner Strength” is our theme this week. I'll see you there.

Vision is not mysterious. It’s probably the most practical thing you can think of. None of us would ever get anything done or do anything worthwhile without a vision. You have to have some idea of what the end will be or needs to be before you can even find purpose enough to start. A vision can be a goal or it can be a strategy for accomplishing a goal. At The Net, our vision is both the goal and the way of accomplishing the goal.  It’s a great vision that began as Isaiah uttered the prophetic words of Christ many years before Jesus was born. It’s the mission that God has given you and me.

You might think that who you are and what you do is not of much consequence but I can tell you that God has bigger plans for you than you can imagine. One of the byproducts of His great vision is that people who get on board will become great men and women of God, filled with His Spirit and able to carry out His will.  

Our new series called “Strong” begins Sunday, August 6th. Make sure you are there to hear the first message called “Strong Vision”.
