PASTOR TODD’S WEEKLY WORD
It has been said that “All theology is practical theology.” And I am convinced that’s true. But those are pretty fancy words from a pretty un-fancy guy…so let’s break them down…
Theology is the study (-ology) of God (Theos). ANYONE can study God, whether they believe in Him and have a personal relationship with Him or not. But Biblical Theology is one of the ongoing responsibilities and delights in the life of every Christian.
The difference for those of us who know Jesus personally, confess Him as our Lord, and trust in Him Alone for our salvation is that we can’t (or shouldn’t) just study Him at arms-length…all our study compels us to ACTION and OBEDIENCE as an excited and joyful expression of gratitude and worship of The One Who did everything for us! Our study can’t help but become our lifestyle. Our theology becomes our practice.
This has been on my heart these past few weeks as I’ve preached through our current sermon series on IDOLS, handling some rather tender issues from week to week, wondering how everyone would receive them…only to have folks approach me afterward to tell me how a certain sermon also applies to this other situation, relationship, or circumstance in your lives. What a gift to be serving among brothers and sisters who are looking for the conviction and calling of God into the very tangible action-points of your personal lives! As James put it, “We must not be merely hearers, but doers of the Word.” (James 1:22). Yall aren’t just hearing the Word or studying God, you’re striving to put your theology to practice. Let’s GO!
Friends, what a cool church family! If you’ve never been, we gather for worship every Sunday morning at 10:30am at 4141 East Hillandale, and you’ve been missing out! Come and hear (and maybe even practice) some theology with us THIS Sunday. We’ll have some coffee and a seat waiting for you! See you Sunday, friends!

Honduras Mission Trip
The Honduras Mission Trip begins in less than 4 months! We are sending a team of 14 people in June to Gathering Hearts for Honduras for a week of ministry with our sister church Templo Evangelical Emmanual. We are looking forward to connecting with our brothers and sisters in Christ and sharing the good news of the gospel with more people. The funding for this trip comes from a combination of Outreach Committee budget ($500/person has been allocated), fundraising, and participant payments. Putting these numbers together we hope to reach our target of $22,000 to cover the costs for flights and room and board and a few additional costs. Overall, so far, we have received $11,500, which puts us just over the 50% mark. Your contributions are greatly appreciated and can be made to Southern Heights and marked for the Honduras Mission Trip. Thank you for your prayer and support as we continue to prepare for this trip!
