Proverbs 3:5 — Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding.

The wisdom literature can sometimes be difficult in understanding how we apply it to our lives. The book of Proverbs requires wisdom in order to grow in wisdom, but we learn from James, “If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives generously to all without reproach, and it will be given to him” (1:5). But wisdom begets wisdom. It takes wisdom to seek God for wisdom, and true wisdom comes from God.

No matter what stage of life you find yourself in, it can be easy to resort back to your own knowledge, experience, and desires to direct your actions and decisions. We want to trust ourselves and lean on your own understanding. But this won’t get you very far, at least not in the ways that actually matter.

We all need to learn to trust God with our whole heart and seek His guidance in all things. Not necessarily on matters like which cereal to buy (obviously Cinnamon Toast Crunch), but on the things that matter (not that how you fuel your body doesn’t matter). One of my professors in seminary would say, “there is rarely an important decision in life that you can’t take a night to pray and sleep on it.”

Yet we live in such a fast paced world where it feels like if you don’t take the deal right now, it’ll be gone forever. Marketers regularly use this tactic to force people into making quick decisions on cars, shoes, language learning softwares, and the such. We must be a people who learn to slow down, wait on God, and trust in the Lord.

Maybe we’ll miss out on some things, but we won’t miss out on God things, and we’ll all benefit by growing in the grace of God through faith in God.

United in Christ,

Rev. Joshua Fried
Pastor

John 12:24 — Truly, truly, I say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it bears much fruit.


Growth takes planting seeds, but you can't plant a seed and keep it at the same time. You have to bury a seed to plant it. And then you may or might not see growth.

"Paul planted, Apollos watered, the Holy Spirit gave the grown."

On Sunday, I mentioned that Jacob led his family to bury their idols under a terebinth tree. In a way, burying those idols was planting seeds of faith. It isn't the idols that will bear fruit but the sacrifice of the idols that will bear fruit.

This can look differently for all of us, but the most common idol that we can all probably relate to is sacrificing or burying dreams and goals. Sometimes it's good to pursue our dreams, but other times it's wiser to acknowledge our limitations, whether they be financial, temporal, familial, or whatever.

Instead of being ensnared to those dreams and limitations, we can give them over to God. Bury them under the tree. Plant the seeds of faith.

In some cases, God will redeem the dream that you've sacrificed. Other times, He'll give you something greater. Some other times, it may seem simply lost. But we'll never regret planting seeds of faith by burying our idols. But it's only when that seed dies that growth will happen.

Look to God for the growth. Don't hold on too tightly to the things which aren't in your strength to control.

United in Christ,
Pastor Josh

2 Thessalonians 1:3 — We ought always to give thanks to God for you, brothers, as is right, because your faith is growing abundantly, and the love of every one of you for one another is increasing.

Like Paul with the churches of Thessalonica, I am grateful for everyone at our church, and we should all thank God for one another. In the first six months, I am so grateful to God for the growth I've seen in myself and in our church, and that can't happen without y'all. At the end of the day, no pastor can grow a church (not really). Sure, a charismatic pastor can fill seats and bring in funds for a bigger building and larger budget, but he can't actually grow the Church.

Paul writes in 1 Corinthians, "I planted, Apollos watered, but God gave the growth." We rely upon God alone to grow His Church and to grow us as individuals. But He also invites us into that to plant seeds and water those seeds. And much of that is done through prayer.

I need your prayer. The church needs your prayer. Every week. Every day. The proclamation of the Word doesn't begin on Sunday sometime around 10:50, it begins Sunday after we finish worship as we all God to be with whoever will be preaching and teaching throughout the week and next Sunday. And I believe that we're a praying church, and we should thank God for that and for one another.

This opening verse in 2 Thessalonians should be a mission statement for each and every one of us. Not because we're not doing this well, but because we want to be continually growing in gratitude, faith, and love.

As you read this connections this week, thank God for our local church, His universal Church, and the faith He is working in you, and ask God to grow your faith in Him and your love for one another.

CPC, God is doing a work in us, and I am excited to be here with y'all to watch it unfold! But let's not become complacent or lazy in our prayers nor fall into divisiveness or complaining. Let's continue to thank God!

United in Christ,
Pastor Josh
