Abide:
Finding Truth in Jesus
Sunday, March 16
The American Worldview Inventory, a survey conducted by the Barna group found that 54% of Americans embrace the postmodern idea that all truth is subjective and that there are no moral absolutes. In commenting on the results, George Barna provided this statement: “We’re just at a place in our country’s history now where that’s the default view. Most people would say all truth is subjective and there’s no kind of objective truth based on an external standard. They would say they’re the standard that determines what truth is.”
I don't know if you're shocked by those statistics, but for me, they're both alarming and discouraging. The idea of truth being subjective touches every area of our lives. For me, it brings up a question of what motivates us to create our own standard of truth? Is it born out of convenience, selfishness, how we were raised, or our own moral framework?
If we're followers of Jesus and have submitted to His kingship, we have to resist determining our own standards of truth. In 1 Timothy 6, Paul confronts the presence of false teachers and their motivation for subjective truth. When we choose to abide in Jesus, we don't have to worry about shifting our truth based on what's happening around us.
I hope you'll be able to join me this Sunday at 9:00 or 10:45 am as we continue our teaching series by looking at how Jesus is the standard for truth - and how that truth can set us free.

Upcoming Events:
March Ministry Spotlight: Christian Veterinary Mission
CVM is a non-profit organization that uses veterinary care to reach underdeveloped communities with the love of Christ by caring for their animals. For most of these communities, their livestock plays a central role in their livelihood. By providing care to these communities, CVM is able to build relationships with people and ultimately share the Gospel.
Short-Term Missions
CVM sends teams of veterinary professionals and students on short-term trips year-round to use their veterinary skills for God’s glory. Whether it is by performing spays and neuters, leading devotions with a team, or performing vaccinations, short-term volunteers are able to help others learn how to take care of their animals and share Christ’s love.
Long-Term Missions
CVM has been sending veterinary professionals and their families to serve long-term around the world since 1981. From rural community development to training among the nation’s most educated at university veterinary schools, CVM staff use their skills to train others how to be better stewards of the animals God has given them and spread the gospel.
Celebrating Girl Scouts Week!
Meet the Troops at Northside Community Church
Troop 4281 is comprised of 5th and 6th grade Juniors and Cadettes. As part of our take action community service project, we donated over a hundred pairs of socks to the compassion box in October to help community members in need! We also contributed to the flood relief collection for Western North Carolina!
Troop 495 is a multi-level troop with Kindergarten - 5th grade Girl Scouts that's filled with inquisitive minds. As a brand-new troop working with Volunteer Development Specialist, Tanisha (staff), they have been active in cookie sales and community events. We are currently looking for volunteers who would be interested in co-leading with others to help the troop continue next year! Reach out to Tanisha Garvin if you are interested!
