| "The spiritual life is not a life of success; it is a life of faithfulness, and it¹s not easy." -- Mike Yaconelli, Messy Spirituality Faithfulness is a character quality that flourishes in the context of healthy relationships. Certainly it includes the idea of keeping promises and building trust. But if you've lived on the planet as long as I have, you know that relationships can sometimes get sticky. Yaconelli is right; faithfulness is not always easy. But fortunately, there's someone we can turn to for some outside help. Those of us who call ourselves Christians live out the spiritual life by trusting in the faithfulness of God. According to Deuteronomy 32 faithfulness is a part of God's very nature. And in Matthew 23 Jesus called faithfulness one of the "weightier matters of the law." Clearly, faithfulness is important to the Lord. As followers of Jesus how can we learn to become more faithful? And if it's more than a concept, if it really looks like something, what will it look like in our lives? This Sunday evening at The Village Chapel we'll take a closer look at what Jesus had to say about the handsome habit of heart called "Faithfulness." I hope you will make plans to join us. The Village Chapel is a relationship oriented, non-denominational church that meets on Sunday evenings at 6 pm for worship. We meet in the atrium room high atop the Hampton Inn on Crestmoor Rd, just off Hillsboro Rd in Green Hills/Nashville. Loving childcare is provided. On Wednesday evenings, we also sponsor The Village Bible study, which meets in the Hillsboro Village/Nashville area where we're currently studying the Old Testament book of Exodus.
