Introduction
I am Mike Walter and I am your Campus Pastor for Bent Tree on Campus.
I have been pastoring in Greeley for the last 4 1/2 years and have I am in my 10th year of ministry in Colorado.
Last week Church on Campus had its very first outreach event!
We had a mission team from First Baptist Church Charleston Arkansas help us with a Kid’s Adventure Camp at two parks in Greeley.
I want to tell you about a couple of families we met.
FBC Charleston youth group passed out nearly 100 fliers to homes and on Monday we met a young lady named Mayra.
Mayra
Mayra recieved a flier and brought her two kids on Monday, then on Tuesday she brought her brother’s kids, then on Wednesday and Thursday she brought some neighbor kids.
Mayra is looking for a church and we were able to meet her family, nieces and nephews, and even her neighbors kids.
Mayra is a great young lady that I will hope will come to Church on Campus.
Adriana
Adriana is a mother of two, she got one of our fliers for our adventure camp in Greeley.
She brought her sister and her mother.
This family of three is from Old Mexico.
They attend a church in Greeley, but they told me that it is hard to attend because they don’t feel welcomed.
They said they have experienced racism at their church and they are looking for a new church home will they will be welcomed.
Amani
I met Amani a few months ago, he is from Congo.
He is a trucker that travels over the road.
What I didn’t know about Amani is that not only is he a Swahili speaker from Congo, he married a hispanic woman.
Amani’s kids speak Swahili, English, and Spanish.
Amani is the perfect man for our church as we reach Swahili speakers and Spanish speakers.
Pray that Amani and his family will feel welcomed at Bent Tree Church on Campus.
Theresa
Theresa also received one of our door hanger fliers.
When she came on Wednesday she was pretty unhappy with the church.
She had been hurt by a church before, her boys did not want anything to do with church.
We talked with her and invited her to come back on Thursday.
She brought her daughter Ann Marie.
One of the adults on the mission trip was sharing the Gospel story with the kids, and asked, “would anyone like to learn more about Jesus?” Theresa’s daughter Ann Marie raised her hand to accept Jesus!
Please pray for these four families as we continue to reach out to them over the next couple weeks.
Please consider giving to the Push Against the Gate option on the Bent Tree App.
Please pray for our next team coming from Texas and reaching these families and more over the next couple of weeks.
Summer of Love
Summer of Love
We are in the Summer of Love - today we are going to look at the next definition of love - Love is Kind.
When I think about love being kind - there is a story that you are probably familiar with and it goes something like this.
There was a Community Group leader that once asked Jesus - “What must I do to inherit eternal life?”
Jesus responded, “What is written in the Bible, how do you read it?”
The community group leader answered, “Love the Lord your God, with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your strength, and with all your mind;” and “your neighbor as yourself.”
Jesus said, “You’ve answered correctly, do this and you will live.”
But the community leader wanted to be sure he was doing it right and asked Jesus, “who is my neighbor?’
But the community leader wanted to be sure he was doing it right and asked Jesus, “who is my neighbor?’
The story goes something like this, this is my own personal paraphrased version:
A guy was driving between Greeley and Loveland, when he had some car trouble and broke down on highway 34.
A car full of gang bangers saw this guy on the side of the highway and decided that they were going to act like they were going to help him and instead robbed him.
They jumped him, punched him in the throat as some of our youth say, took his wallet, took his laptop, and left him for dead on the side of the highway.
Now a pastor was driving along the highway in his lifted jeep (we all know that good reformed pastors drive Jeeps), 33” tires, top down, and David Crowder blaring, and saw the guy on the side of the highway.
He dropped it into 4th gear, moved to the left lane and just kept on cruising down the highway.
The youth pastor was following the pastor in his Jeep liberty.
Not quite a wrangler, but getting close.
Not lifted, but windows down, and 10,000 Reasons by Matt Redman on repeat.
He saw the man as well and moved to the left lane and cruised right on down the highway.
But behind them was one of those people you just can’t stand to be on the road.
You know the guy, bumper stickers on the car.
Bumper stickers that drive you crazy.
Maybe it’s an NRA sticker.
Maybe it’s Confederate Flag.
Maybe it’s a rainbow, or equal sign.
Maybe it’s a Darwin Fish.
Maybe it’s a cross.
You know - that person that you just can’t stand to see.
That person that posts things on Facebook and Twitter that just makes your blood boil.
That person that really just gets under your skin.
That person, pulled over, bandaged the guys wounds, took him to urgent care and gave them $120.
Two days worth of payment at his minimum wage under that table job.
He told the nurse, “whatever it costs, I will give you the rest when I come back from work.”
So which of these three do you think proved to be a neighbor to the man who fell into the hands of the robbers?
The Pastor, the Youth Pastor, or the guy that you can’t stand?
The community group leader said, “the one who showed mercy to him.”
Then Jesus told him, “Go and do the same.”
Love is Kind
- Love is Kind
1 Corinthians 13:
Let’s Pray
So Let’s look at these verses in scripture - turn in your Bibles to
Luke 10:25-37
If love is kind - how can we be kind to our neighbor?
And who is your neighbor?
Let’s talk about the word KIND.
KIND
K - Kind
K stands for: K - Kind
Love is kind
KIND
K - Kind
Being kind is a choice.
When it comes to being kind Charles Spurgeon said this,
Spurgeon Quote
“No man can do me a truer kindness in this world than to pray for me.” - Charles Spurgeon
Who do you need to pray for this week?
Pray for our Father’s - they have a tough job, raising the next generation.
Pray for your Father’s marriage, for his spiritual life, for his relationship with Jesus.
Pray for those that lost their Father’s this year, pray for the pain and grief that they are experiencing.
When we lose a loved one we go through the five stages of grief, Denial, Anger, Bargaining, Depression, and Acceptance.
Pray for those in this church that are grieving over the loss of their father’s.
Pray for the childless, Father’s Day is tough for those of us that struggle with childlessness.
Every Mother’s Day and Father’s Day it’s difficult for people like me and my wife that experience childlessness.
Pray for those who are deeply wounded and grieve on Father’s Day.
