Suffering

We can't control the suffering that is brought to us, but we can control how we handle that suffering. This is the story of Zac Smith...

The Story of Zac Smith from NewSpring Media on Vimeo.

Zac went home to be with the Lord on Sunday, May 16, 2010. Please keep his wife, Mandy, and their three children, Lizzy, Jake and Luke, in your prayers.

Here is a link to Zac's blog. I encourage to read some of his writings. Even in his pain and his questions, he knew Jesus, and he never wavered from that.

Thank you to Bryan at Church Relevant for sharing this with me.

About Open Source

  • Community
    We all want to feel like we belong. It’s human nature. Yet there are few places where we are accepted no matter where we find ourselves in life. Church should be one of them. Here @ the Source, we are committed to creating a place where you can feel like you belong, where caring goes beyond mere words and is transformed into an authentic community where anyone can find love, support, friendship, and maybe even a kick in the butt if needed. No matter who you are, no matter what you believe, you are welcome @ the Open Source.
  • Connection
    It’s weird to think that we can connect with God. How does little, ol’ me connect with great, big, amazing Him? But that’s the Good News about Jesus; He came to reconnect us with God forever. Umm…wow! Why wouldn’t we want to pursue that? Here @ the Source, we are always looking for ways to connect with God the Father through Jesus. Our Connection events are fun, exciting, challenging, and sometimes hilarious. But they are all designed to give us opportunity to connect with Jesus. That’s cause we think He is the greatest! But don’t take our word for it. Come check us out and see for yourself.
  • Compassion
    We’ve got this crazy idea. What if our church actually did some of the junk we read about in the Bible? You know, the parts about helping the poor, taking care of the sick, and helping out anyone in need. What kind of difference could that make? Here @ the Source, we believe that telling people that Jesus loves them means demonstrating it through our actions. We believe that God wasn’t just making some great suggestions to improve social conditions when He told us to get involved in the lives of those who are hurting. Through our ReSource and OutSource events, we are committed to being Jesus to a world that desperately needs Him. It’s an amazing job. We feel lucky that we get to do it.
