I've got to be honest. I'm feeling nervous about our new series that starts on Sunday. Sex is such a sensitive subject. So many people carry hurt and shame and guilt over stuff they've done or had done to them. I so much want to communicate both grace and truth (that's what Jesus did... just read John 1:14).

Don't get me wrong. I'm really excited about the series. It's a subject that the church needs to discuss, but it's a subject that needs to be discussed in the right way. I want to be a voice of hope. I want Hub City to be a community where people can be real and accepted and find healing, grace and forgiveness. I sure would appreciate your prayers.

It will be great. Yes it's a sensitive topic and yes people carry alot of crap around with them about all types of things. That's why you have the Holy Spirit to help you out with the specifics. Don't stress.

Hub City IS becoming that kind of community. Know why? Because you and Liz are the kind of people to show us how to do that. I remember learning something about "modeling"? Yeah, we actually do listen believe it or not.

It's going to be good. You definitely have our prayers.
