CF College Ministry

For those of you just checking out our blog, our next meetings are on July 6, July 20, and August 3 at Diane Sergeant's house. Directions:

Here are directions to my house via parking at Pleasant Hill Community Church (PHCC). PHCC is located on Geneva Road between County Farm Rd. and Pleasant Hill Rd.

The church is on the south side of the street. Park at the rear of their parking lot and walk across the grass to the second yard (swing set and green yard shed). Enter through the screen porch. We have official permission to park here and walk across the pastor's yard.

If you wish to drive around to the front of our house and park in our driveway or on the street, turn south on Pleasant Hill and go to the first street. Turn right on Marion and stay on it as it wiggles and then turns a sharp left curve and up a hill. We are at the top of the hill on the right. The PHCC parsonage is on the curve and we are next. Our address is 0N748 Peter Rd. Marion becomes Peter at the curve.

We meet from 7-9 pm. If you have any questions, contact Diane at 665.0495

Apples to Apples...

The adjective: "GLORIOUS"

The nouns: "MY JOY" "GOD'S EXCELLENCE" "SATISFACTION"

What do the nouns have in common with the adjective? We learned last night that God is most fully glorified in me when I set my fullest satisfaction in Him. God does EVERYTHING for His glory. His love for me is centered on the desire to glorify Himself through and in me.

How does this work? We were created to glorify God, and when we do the thing we were created to do, we find the fullest satisfaction. God receives the most glory in me when I am fully satisfied by all that He is.

The thought came to me last night as I was driving home that no matter how beautiful and glorious creation might seem, it does not compare to God's glory in the person and work of Jesus Christ. God's glory doesn't get any more glorious than in Jesus. In fact, through Him, for Him, and by Him, all things were created!!! Jesus is the climax of God's glory, the fullest manifestation of everything that is glorious about our God is in Him. He's more than just the sacrificial lamb - the knowledge of the glory of God is in its fullness in the face of Jesus Christ. Try saying that five times fast!

The question that impacted me the most last night was "What makes God glorious?" This is the question that I want to devote my entire life to answering not just intellectually, but also experientially. So how about them apples?
