Dig Deeper

• For the July 7^th sermon, Pastor Matt talked about exegesis (then/there) and hermeneutics (here/now). Go back and identify when in this sermon we were doing exegesis and when we were doing hermeneutics
• For reflection, listen to the song, “Even If” by MercyMe. Reflect on the words, and spend time with God working through where and how you trust Him well, and where you could restore trust.
•  Think of neighbors, relatives, or friends who you haven’t seen in a while. Invite them over for dinner and be present to them, and practice what Paul says is seeking the good in those conversations.
