The Week's Links: 6/7/2021

• Jarrell Flowers Spoken Word From FPC Contemporary Service 6/6/21- Spoken Word starts at 24:20. If you don't click on any other link this week, at least take a few minutes to listen to this spoken word.  I (Lisa) often times wish I was this gifted at presenting the Gospel this uniquely and beautifully (If you know me it is okay to laugh at the idea of me doing this.). After church our 13 year old son said "I'm going to use this to share about Jesus.  I'm going to make sure my friends end up in heaven".  And he did send the video to his friends... He went on through out the day talking about how Jarrell used his gifting to share about God.  I can't help but be inspired and challenged.  Hopefully I/we won't ignore or minimize how God has uniquely gifted each of us for His mission and His glory. Praying!
