It's Backkk...

…it took a few seconds….and then I realized there was a pedal bike just outside the garage…

And then I realized I had left out one of our Scooters the night before….at the time we had more drivers than cars and I had started using a Scooter to get to and from New Life.

And someone had the nerve to not only steal the scooter but trade it for their junky bike…

So, I left the junky bike where it was and left for church…

And when I got home….the junky bike was gone too…and even worse, none of this action was recorded on our ring camera.

If you are like me, when something is taken, you want it back….NOW. And we want some sort of justice for the inconvenience.

I started looking downtown for an abandoned Scooter, halfway expecting it to show up… then a few weeks passed and I nearly forgot about it.

And then just over a month ago, I received a text…from my friend who sold me the scooter….“I found your Vespa” It had shown up in an auction from a tow lot….

So, after all that, we got our scooter back. So, watch out it could be me honking my horn at you if you’re out for a walk downtown 😊.

This Sunday, we begin a new sermon series through the book of Ezra entitled, “Reclaimed Faith.” Our faith is so much more significant than a scooter…and if your faith has been at risk, this is a great series to attend.

God had promised Israel success and prosperity if they obeyed Him. But they didn’t! As a result, they were taken into exile, their land and property were taken and many lives were destroyed. Despite the loss, God was at work to offer hope joy, and perspective.

This week I look forward to teaching about the exile and also digging into Ezra 1-2. We will conclude we can reclaim hope because God is faithful.

I hope to see you Sunday at 8:00, 9:15 (Full KidCity available), or 10:45 am (Full KidCity available), or you can watch the Livestream on YouTube (Like and Subscribe) or Facebook at 9:15 am. Additionally, we are also publishing our sermons on Spotify.

See you soon,
