The Good Stuff for the week of July 25, 2010

Lots of "good stuff" today at New Beginnings Church as we explored "gentleness." You can listen to the message HERE. I won't spoil the surprise, so you'll have to listen to it yourself. But here's a quick thought..."gentleness does not come natural to us...it is a learned behavior."

We used a bunch of Bible today, so in case you missed a few, here's the scripture references:

• Galatians 5:22-23
• Ephesians 4:1-2
• 1 Timothy 3:2-3
• 2 Timothy 2:24-25
• Proverbs 15:1
• Proverbs 25:15
• Matthew 5:5
• Matthew 11:28-30
• Genesis 1 - yep...the whole first chapter of the Bible

*(When you click on the scripture link, choose "View in Bible Reader" to read entire passage. Many thanks to YouVersion for such an amazing, free Bible reader*)

And you'll just have to listen to the message to figure out how Charmin TP fits into the picture! :)

Be gentle,

Pastor Kevin
